Hi
Durian season is here!
You can find durian everywhere, in market and retail fruit stall. The
strong pungent fragrant, it’s either you love it or hate it. But I guess most people will love it. It simply drives the durian lovers like me
and my hubby crazy :P
D24? Guess nowadays
it’s no longer the best. Now everybody
is going after Mao Shan Wang (Cat Mountain King 猫山王). It’s the current hottest favourite. Mao Shang Wang is pricey. It easily costs average about $15 per kg. Look at the amount of Mao Shang Wang durians I
have on my dining table. You must be
thinking it might cost me a lot on these durians? Haha! Not
at all. I didn’t spend a single cent on
these durians. My brother-in-law has Mao
Shang Wang plantation in Muar. Every
year, my siblings will get to eat it free.
We’ll either drive to Muar over weekend (about 2.5 hrs drive from
Singapore) just to have durians or my brother in law will never fail to pack
them in boxes and bring it back for us to enjoy.
What a blessing!
This is not my 1st time making durian
cake. I have tried making durian puff
too. You can find my blog on durian Here, Here and Here.
My hubby and I simply love the texture of the thick Mao Shan Wang
flesh. It’s rich and creamy. Its aroma is sweet and has mildly pungent without
being overpowering.
This homemade goodness is definitely a cake to impress
and to please.
This cake is specially baked for my sister-in-law’s 29th
Birthday.
Wishing her happy and cheerful
forever!
