As the weather heats up, our craving for durian from Malaysia grows. “Auntie MALAY,” renowned for its exquisite Malaysian cuisine, proudly presents the all-new “Durian Drool-licious Delights” dessert feast. Chef Han, hailing from Malaysia, has carefully selected 2 types of durian, D24 and Musang King, to create five tantalizing desserts and special drinks! Each creation is filled with the rich and aromatic flesh of durian, making it a must-try for all durian enthusiasts. Indulge in these irresistible durian delicacies while immersing yourself in the vibrant colors of the Peranakan ambiance, complemented by eye-catching birdcage sofas and picturesque ocean views.
Chef Han has skillfully incorporated the distinct flavours of D24 and Musang King durians into his creations. The D24 durian, known for its mild sweetness and creamy, buttery flesh, is often used in making durian ice cream and is an ideal choice for those trying durian for the first time. Musang King Durians, the pinnacle among all durian varieties, features thick flesh, small pits, vibrant yellow color, sticky and sweet texture, and also the intense aroma. With a delicate balance of sweetness, it offers a rich and satisfying mouthfeel, making it an excellent choice for making durian puree or paste.
The homemade coconut panna cotta boasts a smooth and creamy texture that beautifully complements its refreshing sweetness. Pairing it with luscious durian ice cream creates an elegant and deeply satisfying experience. To enhance the overall mouthfeel, delicate golden air-dried coconut flakes are sprinkled on top, providing a delightful crunch that adds to the overall enjoyment.
The D24 durian ice cream offers a silky texture and captivating fruit aroma, which beautifully balances the richness of the warm chocolate brownie. With the addition of Musang King durian puree and velvety cream, the dessert gains an extra layer of richness and depth of flavour. A harmonious combination where the distinct taste of durian shines through while complementing the other elements of the dish.
Chef Han’s ingenuity is evident in the transformation of the brand’s popular dessert, Pandan Coconut Toast, for this dish. Using Malaysia-imported bread as a base, this dessert showcases golden crispy toast layered with a decadent blend of kaya sauce infused with Musang King durian puree. Each bite offers a delightful combination of half-melted butter, delivering a smooth and velvety texture that harmonizes with the sweetness and freshness of the flavors. The contrast between the D24 durian ice cream and the warm toast creates an exciting interplay of hot and cold sensations, leaving a satisfying aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
The combination of Musang King durian puree and Malacca palm sugar creates a delightful blend of flavours that result in a rich and heavenly smoothie. With each sip, you can experience the texture of durian flesh, providing a truly indulgent mouthfeel. The drizzles of Malacca palm sugar and velvety cream add a luxurious touch and entice the senses, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the drink.
Indulge in the multi-layered drink that offers a delightful blend of textures and flavours at every level. Sip on the delightful sweetness of coconut and pandan, followed by the enticing aroma of durian. The layers are further complemented by plump red bean and velvety bean paste, creating a symphony of flavours. The vibrant colors and rich layers make it an ideal choice for both durian enthusiasts and first-time adventurers.
