Taking place in the spacious Silverbox Ballroom, durian aficionados can anticipate tasting everything from the mildest to the most intense flavours, as well as premium-grade varieties of this divisive fruit. This year’s selection features five different types of durian including D197 Mao Shan Wang, D24, D101, Black Thorn, and the highly recommended D88, all freshly imported from Malaysia.
But that’s not all. The ‘Durian Prince’—as chef Danny Ho is known—will also present a menu of durian-themed sweet treats to showcase the natural, rich creaminess of the fruit. Traditional Malaysian desserts like Durian Pulut Tai Tai will make an appearance, as well as the light and fluffy Pandan Durian Coconut Roulade Cake, Durian Coconut Pudding topped with fleshy fruit, and the unmissable Malaysian Durian Ice Cream.
