The connoisseurs would know that Musang King is one of the best types and is prized for its bittersweet taste. By incorporating fresh, quality Musang King into the mooncakes, King Of Kings MSW Durian Snowskin Mooncakes make a luxurious gift this Mid-autumn Festival for that someone special—your esteemed colleagues/ boss, parents and parents-in-law, important friends and associates…

Slice into the mooncake and be treated to luscious durian filling—almost like eating the real fruit!

Shreds of durian flesh are evident in every piece of mooncake, and is a testament to their dedication of serving only the real deal.

The chocolate ones, especially, are a refreshing twist to your usual durian mooncakes. If eating the fruit alone is too much for you to handle, go for the chocolate ones that are mildly sweet.

When it comes to the King of Fruits, there is no sitting on the fence—you either love it or hate it. And fortunately for those who belong to the former group, durian desserts are aplenty in Singapore; durian puffs, durian crepes, durian cakes and even durian lapis—you name it, we have it.

If you are a true durian fan, you would enjoy the fruit in any form it takes. The durian pengat, however, is another league of its own entirely. Smooth, creamy and luxurious, this delightful (or sinful) treat tends to be full-flavoured and comes in a mousse-like texture. Since it is not as commonly found like the rest of the durian desserts, we never shy away from second or third helpings whenever it is available.

Here are 7 Best Durian Pengat In Singapore And Where To Find Them.

#1 STRAITS CAFE

Offering the best of halal Straits-inspired food under one roof, Straits Cafe has one of the best spreads for regional fare—think kueh pie tee, chic kut teh and more. However, durian fans have to make a beeline for their durian dessert counter which features durian crepe, durian cakes and their signature durian pengat.

You can expect only the real deal when it comes to their durian pengat as it comes with real durian flesh and we absolutely love the silky texture.

You can find everything from western cakes to freshly baked Nonya Kuehs, tarts and mousses and an assortment of traditional Potong ice cream flavours…but of course, it is their excellent durian pengat that has us going for extra helpings.

#4 SPICE BRASSERIE

We’re suckers for anything containing durian but what we particularly love about Spice Brasserie’s Durian Pengat—available as part of its local food buffet—is the fact that despite it having a strong aroma of the fruit itself, the flavour was nice and mellow.

Sweet, the way it should be, the velvety smooth dessert boasts a buttery flavour, a reflection of the high-quality durians that they use. Served with warm sticky rice, a lightly salted coconut cream and fried tau suan, the otherwise mousse-like dessert is taken to a whole new level and after much trial and error, the chefs really nailed it.

The annual durian season is around the corner and that is the time when durian stalls will be importing many different durian breeds into Singapore from neighbouring countries. With so many durians on offer, consumers are certainly spoilt for choice but are you able to pick the best of the lot?

Granted, most of us are no experts and years of experience plays a huge part in learning how to differentiate the durians. Yet as consumers, we should also equip ourselves with basic knowledge so that we will not be highly dependent on durian sellers.

Here Are 5 Easy Tips On How To Pick Good Durians Like A Pro.

#1 THE SMELL

Durians are strong in odour by nature and it intensifies when the fruit ripens. Take a whiff along the lines of the durian, where the spikes run parallel. If you hardly smell anything or have to take a few sniffs, that means that the durian is unripe.

If the fruit exudes an overpowering scent, that durian is probably overripe. What you want is a balance that is neither too raw nor too strong.

#2 THE SHAPE

Keep a lookout for durians that come in irregular or oblong shapes as their meat is usually more aromatic and creamier in comparison with round durians. Perfectly shaped durians may have more chambers inside which results in more flesh-covered seeds but the meat is usually less fleshy.

#3 THE JOINT

Take a closer look at the durian stem. Durians that are days old have stems that are darker in colour as compared to freshly dropped durians with their green stems. Do not purchase durians that are missing their stalks, as the durian sellers may be trying to pass off poor quality durians as good ones.

#4 THE COLOUR

Depending on the variety of fruit, durians come in various types of colours as well. The best way to tell if the fruit is ripe is to get the durian sellers to cut open the durians.

Mao Shan Wang comes in a bright yellow shade; XO and D24 have pale yellow skins; D13′s flesh is normally deep burnt orange in colour and Red Prawn is orangey-red. For certain breeds, a redder shade usually indicates more sweetness.

#5 THE EXPERT

If all else fails, you can still fall back on the expert’s opinion. Most of the durian sellers have been in this trade for many years and they are extremely knowledgeable on this subject.

Some of them are able to share more about where the durians came from since they know which plantation and tree those durians came from. Who knows, you may be able to pick up a tip or two from them!

Calling all fellow durian fans! Stop everything you are doing and read this: there is a Durian Feast Party happening right now at the main entrance of AMK Hub. The event will run daily from now until 13 Aug 2017, 5pm to 10pm.

Look forward to an extensive array of high-quality durians which include new flavours and familiar favourites such as Musang King and D24. The durian stalls are run by three local durian kings who are experts in this field.

Cannot get enough of the King of Fruits? Well, you know this is one epic party you should not miss for the world. After all, you get the best harvest only during this time of the year. You have to scoot to AMK Hub right about now.

OUTDOOR DURIAN PARTY

Enjoy the King of Fruits like how it should be enjoyed at this unpretentious durian party. Held at the open space in front of AMK Hub’s level 1 main entrance, you will find long communal tables which are perfect for groups. Bring your family and friends along to enjoy this marvellous feast!

WATCH OUR LOCAL DURIAN KINGS IN ACTION

Love durians but unsure of which type(s) you should buy? Rest assured that you will be entrusted in good hands of the friendly durian sellers. All you have to do is to share with them your preference and they will pick the durians for you.

As they are able to open the durians on the spot, you can see for yourself that only the best is given to you. This is also a chance to learn more about the various durian breeds and their distinctly different flavours.

EXTENSIVE SELECTION OF DURIANS ON DISPLAY

Durian aficionados will love the impressive durian display stacked up at the Durian Feast Party. Nothing beats being surrounded by our favourite fruit in the world—apart from eating it, of course!

Let your taste buds go on a wild journey with the ever popular Musang King, followed by Red Prawn, Green Skin, Golden Phoenix, D24, D13… the list goes on. The durian breeds that are available at the Durian Feast Party varies according to the current season and weather.

For those who are not in the know, durians do not all taste the same! Musang King, for example, comes with a bittersweet taste; Red Prawn species are usually sweet and those who enjoy bitter durians should go for Golden Phoenix.

Gloves are provided at the Durian Feast Party but you can also choose to use your bare hands to fully immerse into the experience just like what we did.

The event organisers also equipped the place with sinks at the back of the stalls so you can wash your hands thoroughly when you are done.

OTHER TROPICAL FRUITS

Besides durians, there will be other tropical fruits such as rambutans and mangosteens as well. Take a break in between full-flavoured durians and balance the flavours with milder tasting fruits.

It is also important to keep yourself hydrated when eating durians and we recommend having some coconuts to go along with your feast. The refreshing coconut juice will help to avoid excess internal body heat. Otherwise, be sure to drink plenty of plain water!

CONTINUE THE DURIAN FEAST INDOORS

No, the party is not over yet. Head indoors for even more durian delicacies and desserts at Basement 1 in AMK Hub (opposite Swensen’s).

You will find classic durian pastry creations in the likes of D24 durian puffs, mochi and so on. These durian confections are sure to delight all those with a sweet tooth.

We had a ball of fun at the Durian Feast Party, sampling many different durian varieties which were so creamy, rich and delicious. If you love durians as much as we do, you would have a great time there too. Be sure to head down early to beat the crowd, especially over the weekends!
