Get a Taste of Ms Durian's Original Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake

If there’s one thing that always gets me excited, it’s finding local food creators who are genuinely passionate about what they do. So when the folks at Ms Durian ,  a cozy homegrown durian bakery and café, reached out to feature their star bake, I was totally onboard! What caught my attention right away is the story behind the brand. Founder Ling basically grew up in the trade, raised by her father who has been dealing durians for over 60 years. With that kind of heritage, their philosophy is simple: keep it authentic, real, and uncompromising on quality while preserving their family recipe. This post will feature their Signature 15cm Original Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake  that is built around pure, premium fruit: two whole layers of real Mao Shan Wang flesh tucked inside light, low-sugar chiffon cake , without a single drop of artificial flavorings. You can really tell when a bakery lets the natural sweetness and richness of good durians speak for itself. Here is my honest br...

Food Review | Yet Con 逸群 Chicken Rice

Heard a lot of times from my parents, and even my husband about this Chicken Rice stall at Purvis Street. The opportunity comes when I'm running errand at Bras Basah with the husband. Dinner settled. Given the limited seating capacity, so I guess you can wait when it is full house. Lady luck is on my side. So wait no longer. Quite looking forward to it.

FOOD

Anyway, let's talk about food. To be honest, I find it decent but nothing to shout about. But it didn't stop the crowd from flowing in, be it lunch or dinner. I do love their soup, especially when I'm not a soup person. Tasty and I can't stop. And as I'm quite into a heavier taste on chicken rice, the ones at Yet Con is on the lighter side. Spent $17 including drinks is somehow reasonable (not very but okay), given the limited choice in their menu (Chicken Rice + Char Siew + Steamboat). I think got expanded menu esp steamboat.




RESTAURANT INTERIOR

I must say I really love that this restaurant has the most retro setting. According to my husband, he came here before for dinner like many years back and it has not changed much. Like wow... it feels like I'm at my paternal grandparents' house at Taman Ho Swee back in the early 80s. The house is also the most retro one I ever lived in when I was a kid. So nostalgia.






The staff working there is already old and I wonder how long they will continue this business. If their kids or grandchildren were to take over from them, you see hopes. If not, say goodbye to this 75 years old school Chicken Rice restaurant.
