SINGAPORE (Mar 30): Goodwood Park Hotel’s annual Durian Fiesta returns today with a total of 12 premium D24 and “Mao Shan Wang” durian creations, featuring perennial favourites such as the D24 Mousse Cake ($13 per slice; $69-$190 for 1-3kg cakes) and its signature D24 Puff ($9-42 for 2-10 pieces) alongside entirely new creations by the hotel’s pastry chefs.
New to the D24 line-up this year is a White Chocolate Raspberry Dome (Featured in main image; $13 nett for two pieces, $36 nett for six), a biscuit-based tart dressed up in a garland of tangy dried raspberry bits around a white chocolate mousse dome encasing the pulp.
Those craving a cup of Joe will delight in the Coffee Glaze cake ($14 nett per slice, $78 nett per whole 1.2kg cake) that stars alternating layers of pure D24 pulp and coffee sponge cake, made into a work of art with its shimmery coffee glaze surface enlivened by a white chocolate streak for a marbled effect.
We find the Orange Choc-A-Bloc ($16 nett per slice) an especially promising crowd favourite with its chewy textures and robust flavours. A complementary mixture of D24 pulp and orange mousse is layered atop a shortcrust base dotted with walnuts and raisins in this novel original, before it is coated with a generous drizzle of white chocolate and topped with toasted almond nibs, candied orange peel, and a chocolate curl as the garnish.
Look forward to feasting upon a number these goodies at the ever-popular Dessert buffet with D24 durian pastries held over lunch and dinner seatings at the Coffee Lounge from 5 May to 22 July, from $38.80++ per person for the dessert buffet only. Alternatively, a free flow of these desserts can be enjoyed as a top-up with any a la carte main course order, the Taiwan Porridge A La Carte Buffet, or as part of a three- or four-course Design Your Own Local Degustation Menu at various other price options.

This comes alongside the luxurious “Mao Shan Wang” adaptation of the hotel’s trademark D24 Durian Mousse Cake, available at $69 nett for 500g.
