Goodwood Park Hotel’s annual Durian Fiesta is back for its 42nd year, a beloved tradition as reliable as the holidays themselves. This year’s celebration, running until August 10, embraces a “flowers and fruit” theme, featuring a stunning array of durian-inspired desserts that enhance the iconic fruit without overshadowing its unmistakable aroma.
Among the standout offerings for 2025 are two creations made with the rich and creamy D24 durian pulp: the Mini D24 Spikey Duo ($12.50 for two) and the D24 Ice Cream Ring Of Joy ($22 for two). Both desserts let the durian take center stage, making them well worth the indulgence.
The Mini D24 Spikey Duo is a visually delightful treat, almost too cute to eat. Its biscuit base supports layers of vanilla sponge, durian mousse, and a pandan-durian mousse, forming a durian shape. While the combination might seem like a durian overload, it’s exactly what enthusiasts crave — the fruit’s bold flavor in every bite.
Meanwhile, the D24 Ice Cream Ring Of Joy offers a unique take on durian in dessert form. This doughnut-shaped treat features durian ice cream encased in a white or milk chocolate ring. The ice cream’s intense durian flavor is complemented by the chocolate shell, which enhances the fruit’s taste, particularly in the white chocolate version.
Both desserts are perfectly sized — not too large to be overwhelming but just enough to leave you wanting more. Whether you’re a durian lover or a first-timer, these creations are sure to delight.
