The hotel’s annual durian fiesta sees a tantalising line-up of both classic and new creations
Goodwood Park Hotel’s iconic durian fiesta is back, just in time for durian season. Available from now until August 6, its 40th edition features an array of sinfully delicious desserts that put the spotlight on the King of Fruits.
Of course, look forward to perennial favourites like the D24 mousse cake. Introduced in 1983, this decadent cake comprises fluffy sponge layered with creamy D24 mousse. Another crowd favourite is the D24 puff—a staple since 1984, these light and airy puffs are generously filled with smooth D24 mousse.
While its signatures are a must-order, don’t miss out on new creations too. This year, we see the introduction of a selection of new durian-filled desserts made with D24 and Mao Shang Wang varieties. Here are some to look out for.
