#king of fruits
Mum’s home-cooked Spicy Chicken with Caramelized Onions and stir-fry hairy gourd (Benincasa hispidavar.chieh-qua) or 毛瓜 in Mandarin. The matchsticks sized hairy gourd is cooked with minced pork and prawns to give it sweetness.
After dinner snack of Durians though I can’t remembered what varieties they belonged to. The king of fruits is creamy and sweet, just the way my mum like it.
My mum’s and my Birthday are just one day apart so sis bought two 15cm cakes (S$18.90 each) from Emicakes to help us celebrate the occasions. Well, I guess most of you already know which cake is mum getting and which one is mine. :D
TheD24 Durian Fantasy Cake comes with two bite-size D24 durian puffs sitting on top. I messed up during the slicing processing but it does comes with a thick filling of D24 durian between the two chiffon layers. The cake is light and fluffy soft with a strong scent from the king of fruits.
TheFudge Madness Cake has a glossy finishing of chocolate along with edible pearls and white chocolates. It has three denser chocolate cake layers sandwiching two layers of chocolate fudge filling. This cake is rich but not overly sweet with a strong chocolaty flavour from the chocolate fudge. Yum, my kind of a sweet treat… :D
Sometime when you need a sweet snack to satisfy the craving, these Mini Durian Puffs (S$9 for 14pcs/S$14 for 20pcs) from Sunlife Durian Puffs & Pastries will do the trick. My family love the unadulterated durian puree that is injected into these airy choux pastries.
