It seems that the folks behind 99 Old Trees and Stinky’s by 99 Old Trees are pretty much on a roll — with the launch of their new space at Teo Hong Road, they have also re-released much of my favourite offerings that they previously serve at Owen Road Authentic Penang Chendul; they have also launched new creations such as the Stinky Roll, and now the Stinky Bomb — essentially a Mao Shan Wang Choux that I just simply could not resist but to make my way there for one.

Whilst choux puffs are known to be relatively pricey at several locations, the Stinky Bomb are probably the lowest priced choux around — they costs $1.80 each, though there is a minimum order of two pieces per order. I have had these pretty fresh out-of-the-oven; arrived the cafe at 11:45am and was told that they would only be available after a 10 minute wait as they had just a freshly baked a new batch for the day. Sinking our teeth into one, there is no denying on how crisp and light the exterior was; inside well-filled with Mao Shan Wang mousse that is fibrous and pungent — absolutely apt for durian lovers being pretty much a flavour bomb on its own. For those looking for a beverage to curb the inherent “heatiness” of the King of Fruits, pair the choux up with their selection of Chinese Tea which also helps to cleanse the palate.

With 99 Old Trees and Stinky’s by 99 Old Trees being all out innovative with their durian desserts, we really liked how they have placed a lot of thought into showcasing their expertise into the various applications through the items they have to offer. Looking forward to what they are coming up next here!
