Not for the 'weak-nosed'


Only for durians' lovers. One of the locals' favorite fruits with one of the most unbearable smell is still such a delicacy I cannot resist.

On a recent preying for mooncakes, I came across 717 Trading whom specialty is durian mooncakes. Not a fanatic of durian mooncakes, even though I do love the durians, it made me decided to get something else from them. Their display was flooded with variety of durian products: durian crepe, durian coil, durian sandwich, durian pudding, durian tart, durian puff... and also some of their side products like blueberry cheesecake, strawberry chocolate mousse, etc.

This little cup of durian mousse caught my eye. At first glance, I did not realize it actually is a depiction of a dissected durian (opened into halves). Only when I was openly admiring this little artwork in my hand, that my sister casually remarked,"Aren't those boobs-alike thingy portraying the durian flesh...?" Mmmmm.... it got me wondering and it immediately came into view.

At only S$2.70, this little cup is a treasure island. Get past the cute depiction of a half durian, the cream serves as a complementing companion to the depth of durian flesh beneath. Every spoonful, you get a generous portion of flesh, dig deeper and you get to the sweet white mousse which nicely water down that pungent smell in your mouth. One cup and it really does make me yearning for more!!

Not advised for those feeling "heaty". I woke up the next day feeling like I'd soon fall sick... LOL. But once I get over that, I'm ready for mmm... durian pudding next.
