The Durian Bakery is a local online bakery dedicated to all things durian, and these are absolutely a wonder to behold. These are made with 100% Grade A Mao Shan Wang (MSW) durians from Pahang, and freshly baked with no preservatives. The durians are made into signature MSW SilkyGold™ Durian Puree – dense, creamy and delicious.
I recently picked three of my favourite kinds to try and here's how they went.
Mao Shan Wang (MSW) Durian Mille Crepe Cake 8″ (Signature) S$88
I love how they designed the packaging to be gleaming gold mirror laminate inside. All this reflecting shine makes you feel like you opened up a treasure box!
Plus, every one of the boxes smells like heavenly durian when you open up the lid. Now just look at this. Isn't it just gorgeous?
I love mille crepe cakes and this one is simply indulgent. You get 20 handmade pieces of crepe layered generously with sweet cream. In the middle are five layers of 100% durian puree, a signature blend that's creamy and thick. Each mouthful is utterly decadent, and deserves to be savoured slowly. No conversation, just zen enjoyment. You can talk later about how good it is.
Super Burst MSW Giant Puff (8 pcs) S$44.90
Durian puffs on steroids! These airy choux pastry are filled with pure MSW puree, and it's a LOT of delicious durian. Each puff weighs between 105g to 125g. Because they looked so huge, I tried to share one but ended up eating the whole thing because it was just so addicting. My girl Nadine ate two at one go. It's impossible to stop. You have been warned.
Each puff is 8cm in diameter. Here's one for size reference.
By the way, there are bundle deals if you want to get multiple items. I got the mille crepe cake and durian puffs at this Premium MSW Bundle (S$132.90) which saves you S$25.90 and comes with handy accessories (1 metal knife, box of 10 gold candles and 1 golden Happy Birthday topper).
Classic Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake 6″ (People’s Choice) S$68
Light and fluffy vanilla sponge, inlaid with a thick MSW core!
The cake is topped with fresh Hokkaido whipped cream and unsweetened white chocolate for extra texture. This is around 600g and is good for eight slices.
This is probably the simplest way to enjoy a good durian cake. It's not too sweet and has just enough durian and whipped cream to go with the vanilla sponge.
