The Durian Bakery, Best Durian Cake in Singapore

The Durian Bakery, Best Durian Cake in Singapore

Durian, the king of fruits, the love of many Asian families and a sin for those that tend to overconsume but do you know that durian is actually good for you? According to studies, durian improves muscle strength, skin health and even relieves anaemia.

That’s why, we should eat more durian, moderately. But what if you’re a dessert lover too? That’s where The Durian Bakery comes in. Listed in Best in Singapore’s, Singapore’s Best Durian Cakes that you should check out in 2021, The Durian Bakery offers many delicious desserts that is guaranteed to make durian lovers drool.

The Durian Bakery

The Durian Bakery only uses premium ingredients and the best recipes to create scrumptious pastries that have you craving for more.

Additionally, they only use no-calorie sugar instead of regular white sugar. These no-calorie sweeteners are able to give the pastries the sweetness they need without increasing the glycemic effects on one’s blood sugar. The best part is, zero-calories. Finally, a pastry line where you can eat and not gain weight!

Unlike most bakeries that only use leftover, un-sellable durians that are not fresh, The Durian Bakery uses fresh durians in their pastries. These durians are delivered straight from the plantation in Pahang Malaysia.

These durians are used to not only create their delectable pastries but to create their signature SilkyGold Puree as well.

SilkyGold Puree

The Durian Bakery only uses two types of premium durians for their signature SilkyGold Puree, the famous Mao Shan Wang or D24. Although durians purees often come across as chunky, their signature puree is guaranteed to be smooth and sweet.

Aside from their premium ingredients, The Durian Bakery offers premium delivery as well.

Same Day Express Delivery

If you are a cluttered brain like me that doesn’t seem to remember anyone’s birthday, you would love The Durian Bakery for they offer same-day express delivery as well. You can pre-order the same day, at least 30 minutes in advance and get your pastries within 24 hours. There will be a flat rate of S$15 for such services.

If you are organised and prefers free delivery, just get over S$50 worth of items and you can get yourself free shipping.

Luckily, I was able to remember my father’s birthday before hand and gotten free delivery. But, that’s not the point. The point is we are here for some durian reviews and we will be reviewing two main things today:

The Signature Pastries Taster Bundle that contains Dark Choco Musang King Mousse, Snowy D24 Durian Cream Puff, and Snowy D24 Durian Mochi

My father’s birthday cake - Dark Chocolate Musang King Durian Mille Crepe Cake

We will start with the bundle.

Dark Choco Musang King Mousse

The Dark Chocolate Musang King Mousse is what one would call the chocolate dome of goodness. Standing at 6cm wide, the dome is made out of 100% dark chocolate which cacao beans were specially imported from Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast).

Once you dip your spoon into the mousse, you’ll find 2 layers:

Signature SilkyGold Puree

100% MSW Molten Core

Right at the bottom, you’ll find a layer of hazelnut palette feuilletine supporting the dome.

What makes this mousse really fancy is the edible 24k gold dust shimmered on the top of the dome. Although gold is known to not have any taste, it is also known to make anything look luxurious, so consider this mousse a luxury.

There are 2 ways to eat this dessert:

For cooler days: Thaw for 40 to 50 minutes before consumption - you’ll be able to taste the chocolate, signature puree and durian molten core all at once without creating a mess.

For hotter days: Thaw for 20 minutes before consumption - the chocolate shell will still be hard but the molten core will be soft, like ice cream.

Dark Choco Musang King Mousse Review

Upon the first bite, I was able to detect the sweet MSW molten core among the bitterness of the dark chocolate. The creamy SilkyGold Puree melted in my mouth as my taste buds tried to get a sense of the unusual flavours that were dancing in my mouth.

Oddly enough, the bitterness of the dark chocolate, sweet fragrance of the molten core and sweetness of the signature puree complimented each other perfectly.

However, what put this dessert over the top is the crunchy hazelnut palette feuilletine at the bottom, holding it all together.

This is a dessert that one would normally get at an expensive restaurant at a much higher rate, a dessert that you simply have to indulge in.

Snowy D24 Durian Cream Puff

If you love durian cream puffs, the renowned Snowy D24 Durian Cream Puff is the puff for you. Voted as one of the best durian puffs in Singapore, this cream puff contains no unethical artificial flavourings and it’s made of 100% natural ingredients. Even the puff shell is handmade from scratch.

Comes in a set of 12 cream puff, the 4.5cm pastry contains almost no cream at all. What? A cream puff without cream? That’s right. The “cream” in the puff is made of 95% D24 durian flesh and 5% cream. There is also no sugar in this puff.

Snowy D24 Durian Cream Puff Review

The airy shell of the puff does a great job in bracing your palette for the richness of the durian experience the moment you bite into it. The creamy durian core fills your mouth with its aroma, ensuring every inch of your mouth is covered in its scent.

The creamy durian core burst through the airy shell of the puff, filling your mouth with a piece of heaven every time you bite into it, that is the kind of cream puff that you should be enjoying all the times.

Snowy D24 Durian Mochi

Inspired by the quality of mochis in Hokkaido, Japan, the Snowy D24 Durian Mochi is one of the most premium durian mochis you’ll ever taste in Singapore. This mochi not only consists of D24 durian flesh which was harvested from specifically cultivated old trees, but it also consists of a sophisticated philosophy.

The chef created this mochi after tasting over 1,000 types of mochi in Japan to understand the complex philosophy behind 100 years of Daifukumochi Craftsmanship.

To create this exquisite mochi skin, the Mochigome (glutinous rice) goes through various processes that include being steamed, mashed and pounded with a wooden kine. All these processes could be seen the moment you pick the soft, dewy mochi up and nestle it in your mouth.

Biting into the 3.5cm mochi will reveal a soft core filled with at least 90% D24 durian flesh, just like biting into a durian mochi ice cream.

Snowy D24 Durian Mochi Review

The Snowy D24 Durian Mochi is the highlight among the Musang King Pastries Bundle. Its bouncy and insanely soft skin caresses your cheeks right before your teeth penetrate them, revealing a buttery, creamy texture. The velvety surprise fills your palettes with a bitter-sweet taste and before you know it, you’re reaching out for more.

This mochi is not only addictive but it is one of the softest and best mochi’s I’ve tasted in Singapore.

Dark Chocolate Musang King Durian Mille Crepe Cake

If you’re into crepe cakes, the Dark Chocolate Musang King Durian Mille Crepe Cake is a must-have for your birthday. With 39 layers - 20 layers of crepe skin and 19 layers of signature SilkyGold Puree - this crepe cake have a weigh of 1kg and could be sliced into 8 equal pieces.

This rich and creamy crepe cake is handmade fresh daily with a secrete batter recipe. The thin cocoa crepe skins are fried by hand - just imagine how much work to get 20 same-sized and same thickness crepes.

Aside from their signature SilkyGold Durian Puree, you can also find a pleasant surprise when you cut the cake. A layer of 100% A+ Pure MSW sits right in the middle of the cake. A surprise that’ll make any durian lover smile.

Right at the top is a layer of 100% pure dark cocoa as well.

Dark Chocolate Musang King Durian Mille Crepe Cake Review

The moment my taste buds meets the cake, I was able to taste the sweetness of the signature SilkyGold Puree and the bitterness of the cocoa. Despite having only 1 layer of pure MSW, I was still able to savour the complex flavour fully while it tickles my nostrils. Unlike other crepe cakes, the layers of this cake did not disintegrate the moment you cut or bite into it.

The unusual combination of rich bitter chocolate and sweet durian taste still makes my jaw drop as I crave more cake. After this exposure, I’ve got to say, this is better than eating the raw fruit.

The Durian Bakery Review

The Durian Bakery provides premium pastries that will knock your socks off if you adore durians. Although I am not a huge fan of the durian fruit, I am a huge fan of the durian pastries from The Durian Bakery. The high-quality durian puree and fresh MSW added in its recipes is enough to make any durian lover ‘add to cart’.

On top of that, their cakes are of exceptional quality as well. If you are celebrating a birthday, there is an option for you to include birthday accessories (happy birthday topper, candle & knife) and even a personalised greeting card which they will handwrite for you.

My favourite is the Snowy D24 Durian Mochi which is not only soft and delectable but is filled with almost 100% of creamy durian flesh as well.

Do note that since there are no preservatives in these pastries, that means, they’ll have a shorter shelf life. In fact, they are recommended to be consumed within the same day of delivery. However, if that is not possible, here are the recommended shelf life:

Cakes - Thawed (1 Day); Frozen (7 Days)

Pastries - Thawed (2 Days); Frozen (7 Days)

Mochi - Thawed (2 Days); Frozen (30 Days)

Also note, they are also not halal-certified as of now. Hopefully, they’ll be certified soon so everyone can try their scrumptious cakes!
