One thing about the locals, which you can't tell if you just stay here for a while, is they are really proud about their food. Being the cuisine originated from Singapore or other countries, they enjoy it a lot. And it is much easier to find the food you want to try, if you spend a little time reading food blogs/forums. In Saigon, it is a bit harder, partly because of the lack of info and another part being the messy addresses. If you know the address in Vietnam, it doesn't guarantee you to find the correct place you want. Trust me on this, dun ya?
Since I was young, I've liked summer. Summer meant no school (but there was still cram schools), rains and most importantly, fruits. Lychee, rambutan, longan, mango, etc... you name it, I like it. And obviously, durian is no exception. When I came to Singapore to study and work, I discovered the locals have managed to make variety of pastries out of durian. I was amazed and super happy. What is better than a durian? Of course, a durian puff which eliminates the bitter taste sometimes I unfortunately encounter. Yes, I like my durian sweet and cheesy.
Every year, from around May to July, Goodwood Park Hotel would have a Durian Fiesta which they offer a variety of durian pastries. And the taste and quality are superb. The price might be a tad high but I tell you, it's worth the money and even the calories. You can find the details on the hotel website, if you are interested.
Anyway, here are some photos to entice you. Dun blame me if you run out to buy a durian after this. Hhhehehhee...
Plenty of choices for you to choose
