Durian is definitely the king of fruits and the favourite among Singaporeans. It is made into many variations of dessert. This is a cake recipe that is highly raved and requested by my friends and family for birthdays! Mousse can be made in advance and kept in fridge for later use. You can also make it into a durian pengyat version!

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
