Are you a durian lover? I'm glad my family shares the same love as me in this aspect. Even L and K, who didn't particularly favour the fruit initially, have grown to love it after they tasted the Mao Shan Wang durians we get from our favourite durian vendor. 

When the durian season is out, the next best thing for me to satisfy my durian craving would be a good durian pastry or dessert. But it is a challenge to find one that has the right balance of great quality durian puree  filling while retaining the overall taste of the dessert or cakes. Some are too sweet, while some make you wonder why you should waste your calories on them. 

I chanced upon The Durian Bakery while looking for a cake to pamper myself for my birthday. The website info looks promising and has many positive feedback from customers. They have also been featured in popular media sites like theAsianparent, The Smart Local and Best in Singapore.

I cannot resist any good mochi and these bite-sized, squishy and chewy mochi, paired with the pure, thick D24 core, left a deep impression for me. The mochigome (glutinous rice) is steamed, mashed and pounded with a wooden kine, carefully handmade with love and six pieces is definitely not enough!
