Goodwood Park
We're sure you've been seeing this beautiful rainbow roll on Instagram. This Durian Rainbow Ice Cream Cake (SGD11.75) is sold at the Goodwood Park Hotel. Goodwood Park's durian goodies this year also include their signature durian puffs and a Durian Carrot Walnut Cake.
Find out more about their annual Durian Fiesta 2015 here. It goes on from now to Aug 2.

Dining at Min Jiang during the Durian Fiesta? Take advantage of the season to try their dine-in only Durian Egg Tartlets (SGD6 for 3). D24 durian and egg custard is encased in a buttery tart shell for a little bite of heaven. Available until Aug 2.

Puteri Mas
Puteri Mas calls itself the 'durian specialist' and we cannot argue with that! The classic Durian Puffs (SGD12.90) is made from pure D24 durian pulp. It also has other tropical goodies like chempedak Swiss rolls.

Durian Mpire
Owned by 717 Trading, this is one of the oldest family-run durian stalls in Singapore. Durian Mpire specialises in fresh durian pastries and snacks such as this creamy durian puff (SGD2.40 for 2).

Love mochi and durian? You'll like this newfangled durian mochi balls (SGD3.90 for 4) from Four Seasons Durians. The outlets are dotted around Singapore and they even sell durian soft serve ice cream.

Rich and Good Cake Shop
We love this old school bakery for their dense Swiss rolls. With varieties such as kaya, green tea, strawberry and of course, durian available (SGD14 for 2 rolls), you will be spoilt for choice. Psst: we hear it's so good even the Lees love this. Yes, those Lees.

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert
For this super hot weather, we love the shaved ice desserts at Mei Heong Yuen. Even though many outlets have popped up around town, we always head to the original one in Chinatown from the Durian Shaved Ice (SGD5).

The durian season is here again and we’ve sniffed out the best treats for you in town. We bet you’re already drooling at the mere mention.

The durian season is upon us again! And depending on your preference, it is either a nightmare or a dream. Yes, the fragrant pong of the durian is described as ambrosial for people who love the King of Fruit but can be akin to gas leak for those who don’t.

But for those who do, we’ve done the sniffing for you and found some of the best durian treats in town. From durian connoisseurs like Goodwood Park Hotel with their annual durian fiesta to the traditionally enjoyed Rich and Good Cake Shop, we’ve found Instagram worthy rainbow rolls and actual foodgasm Swiss rolls.

We are sure there are many other durian treats out there like durian goreng, durian pengat, durian ice cream and even durian candy. Personally we like the fruit on its own.

What are your favourites? Let us know in the comments!
