Durian Mooncakes

Durian Mooncakes

With the mooncake festival round the corner, I was keen to sink my teeth into some durian mooncakes. At one of the shops next to the Wild Wild Wet attraction at Downtown East in Pasir Ris, I tried Emicake's Durian Mooncakes recently to satisfy my moon cake urge.

The Durian Mooncakes came in various sizes, at different prices. As it was my first attempt to taste these durian falvoured mooncakes, I sampled the smallest servings as an initial taste test.

These Durian Mooncakes had a very soft 'skin' that wrapped around an even softer core of chilled durian cake. The rich flavourful aroma of durian was unmistakable, the sweetest that I have tasted for a mooncake. I liked the creamy-like texture of the mooncake although the snow skin on its outer crust was fairly unremarkable.

Durian Mooncakes recommendation:
Score = 8 out of 10.

d24 Durian Mooncake: Goodwood Park Hotel

These d24 durian flavoured mooncake from Goodwood Park Hotel were purchased and sampled today by me. d24 durian by themselves are really soft, tasty and aromatic fruits. Snow skin type of mooncake are also my favourite. Put d24 durian into snow skin mooncake like the way Goodwood Park Hotel does, combines the best of two worlds that I simply cannot resist.

The durian of the d24 label inside snow skin mooncake are eaten chilled. The instructions on the box label informs that their durian mooncake have to be kept in the freezer for storage. The durian mooncake also has to be consumed within three days.

At $48 before gst for a box of four durian mooncakes, the durian mooncake from Goodwood Park Hotel is not cheap. However, the culinary pleasure of eating delicious durian mooncake during the coming mid autumn festival period is infinitely worth more than the money spent.

Looking forward to more mooncakes, especially with durian fillings over the next fortnight.
