Nothing beats an evening of durians with your favourite people who share the same appreciation for the King Of Fruits. Love it or loathe it, durians have the power to bring people together and create conversations. PARKROYAL on Pickering’s signature Lime Restaurant is delighted to present Thorny Temptations, a buffet extravaganza featuring durians as the headlining act, and one that will appeal to guests who like to boast of their unparalleled talent in durian eating, and others who are finally ready to taste the aromatic fruit for the very first time.
From 7 July 2017, reserve a table for dinner at Lime restaurant and embark on a gastronomy journey that will take your palate to where they have never been before. The durian aroma will make you weak at your knees and the great thing is that you won’t need to wait until dessert time to indulge in the thorny fruit as Executive Chef Eric Ong will tease you in with a selection of savoury dinner items infused with durian in various forms.
Begin with the Poached Tiger Prawn, Durian Mousse, Quinoa and Crunchy Vegetables Salad or Foie Gras Torchon with Torched Meringue and Durian Powder, before moving nicely on to a wide selection of mouth-watering durian-ized main dishes. Highlights include Durian Ravioli with Sage and Garlic Butter, and Grilled Chicken and Durian in Tortilla, while Gulai Fish Curry with Fermented Durian, and Prata with Durian and Gula Melaka are on offer for those who like Indian food. If you’re up for some Asian spice, the must-haves include Butter Durian Prawn with Curry Leaves and Chilli Padi, and the Wok Fried Prawn and Petai with Sambal Durian!
Durian, in its rawest form, thorny shells and all, is best enjoyed the way they used to serve them back in the day. Take a trip down memory lane and head to the specially demarcated area at the buffet that is set up like a traditional durian stall. Here, chefs will wield their knives and pop open the king of all fruits in all its glory, one durian at a time. Nostalgia will set in and memories of durian gatherings will come flooding back. Remember, it is all you can eat so feel free to visit and revisit the stall again for the best D24 and Mao Shan Wang can offer.
Full already? There is more. Your night of savouring rich durian goodness will next take you to Lime’s dessert corner. Sweet durian pastries such as the Pandan Crepes with Durian Mousse, Durian and Gula Melaka Gateau, and the Mini Durian Crumble will be awaiting your visit. If you’re up for something a bit more old school, be sure to try the Chendol Durian, and Durian Pengat. Feeling extra sinful? Deep Fried Durian Ice Cream, which no one can resist, can end your night on a high!
