More Reviews of good food at Mao Shan Wang Cafe by Four Seasons Durians

Offering D24 and MSW durian ice cream at $5 each, we got hooked after sampling them at the Chinatown CNY Market. Rich, creamy and not jelak at all, I can probably finish two tiny tubs on my own 😂.

😍 Buttery, creamy, and almost as indulgent as the fruit itself. Ordered another one cos it was too good.

Durian Strudel ($15.80)
.
Another recommended dish @FourSeasonsDurians was this durian strudel. An interesting creation as this was definitely my first time having a durian strudel. The dish is freshly prepared only upon order so the pastry was still warm when served. There was basically a thick layer of sponge within the strudel and what seems to be a generous layer of durian kaya lining the interior base of the pastry. I felt lost while consuming this dish as it seems like there was just very little durian going on and the sponge just took centrestage here. It is probably better to get a box of durian cream puffs instead if you are going for the durian experience.

Mao Shan Wang Delight ($15.80)
.
@FourSeasonsDurians recently opened a new outlet along Temple Street serving up not only durians but also various other desserts created using their premium Mao Shan Wang durians. The crowdpleaser would probably be this Mao Shan Wang Delight which was their rich durian softserve sitting on a bed of brownies and topped with mini marshmallows and almond flakes. The durian softserve was rich and with that strong slightly bitter taste of the MSW. The dessert was also served with the full works reminiscent of 90s chinese restaurants with their bubbling and smoking dry-ice-in-coloured-water glass base and traditional ice-cream toppings. I prefer my msw softserve unadulterated and probably served in a more modernized plating. At the current pricing, I’m finding this a rather pricey affair for the satisfaction derived.

Sounded good in theory, but you might want to stick to the cold desserts. The strudel pastry itself was flaky and crisp but inside was a thick layer of sponge cake and the durian mix.

Served hot, the durian just didn't mesh well and felt off. Would have appreciated a creamier texture for the durian mix too.

This durian dessert cafe is THE place for all things durian, served with a dose of industrial chic — think brick walls and exposed beam ceilings. Four Seasons Durian is well-known for their durian confectionaries, so rest assured these desserts will hit the spot. Go in a group so you can share the love but think twice about bringing non-converts; as Burppler Kris Lim says, the smell will hit you once you enter the space. The extensive menu is bound to get durian lovers hot under the collar. The D24 Durian Mochi ($5 for four) are chewy and rather mild but if you yearn for stronger flavours, go straight for the Mao Shang Wang Durian Mochi ($8.80 for four). Others to try include the Durian Strudel ($15.80), Mao Shan Wang Ice Cream ($5.80), Mao Shan Wang Coffe ($5) and the delectable Mao Shan Wang Ice Cream Puffs ($15.80 for six), which many say are a must-order. If you can't find a seat, get the Mao Shan Wang Takeaway Cup ($6.80) to go — the soft serve sundae makes a lovely treat while moseying through Chinatown.
Avg Price: $10 per person

Durian lovers rejoice! Four Seasons Durians has opened a MSW cafe in Chinatown serving durian in all manners and forms. Think soft serve, cream puffs, strudel, pizza? And... chicken nuggets with a durian dip?!?

We stuck with the safer choice, their MSW Delight. Basically their MSW soft serve with the works. Loved the not-too-thick softie which had the right kick of durian (though I wouldn't think it's MSW right off), but the toppings I felt were more of an afterthought and didn't add much to the experience. Definitely nice but quite pricey so you might want to just get their takeaway cup that's $6.80 for your MSW cravings.

Did some research before going and saw that the durian strudel was highly recommended so decided to give it a go!! I guess this would be ideal for those who prefer their durian more bitter than sweet as the durian filling was not sweet and actually tasted rather mild and more towards the bitter side, but the accompanying softserve was really sweet and rich, which suited my tastebuds more hehe 👅

Punchy durian aroma fills your mouth and nostrils, the Soft Serve Ice cream is smooth and not too sweet. Comes with sticks of puff pastry, sprinkled with mini marshmallows and dense brownie cubes at the bottom that soaks up all the melted soft serve. An indulgence once in awhile. 🤤

Serving all things durian from durian custard puffs, to durian cakes, sweets, kaya, jams and even coffee. Don’t ask me how, why or what but it is definitely for those crazy durian fans. Oh, they also offer fresh durians or if you want to bring it overseas as gifts, they provide vacuum packed ones as well. 🔖

there are so many stuff there but my tummy can only contain something simple, hence ordered this Mao Shan Wang soft serve. The taste is very ‘gao’ indeed. It’s delicious! :)

Walk into the shop with the aircon and fans on, hmmm... the smell is potent & pungent.

Mostly maoshanwang and d24 durians. This is a msw softserve. Quite smooth and can taste the durian. However, it was alittle sweet when I was hoping to get that bitter aftertone. How nice it will be if bits of durian flesh were in it. I would still prefer eating the real fruit.

There are durian puffs, cakes, puddings etc. For the durianholic.
