Celebrate Christmas with an Asian twist this year with D Lab’s newest creations: The Nero Bianca Collection. A Durian Edition spin-off, they are known to have the top quality durian purees infused in their desserts. This Christmas, they bring us a marriage of East and West with their durian infused log cake. What makes it even better, is that the puree makes up half the weight of the cake. That’s about 400g of puree goodness that we’re looking at here!

Proving true to their mantra of “Delivering quality and only the best”, they have not let us down with these beautiful log cakes. Paired with rolled vanilla sponge cake in a genius way, you’re definitely in for a treat.

The Nero Log Cake ($108) is for those of you who are hardcore fans of bitter-tasting durians. The first impression of the charcoal powder cream may look give off a mysterious vibe but once you take the first bite, you will be craving for more. With the puree made with fresh Black Gold Musang King from Raub Pahang, it contains bits and pieces of durian flesh that can be found as you savour it, yet it does not overpower the sweetness of the sponge vanilla cake at any point.

If you prefer something lighter as a post-feast dessert, be sure to check out The Bianca Log ($98). Created with a unique pairing of their signature 100% Musang King Puree and cream cheese, you will be pleasantly surprised by how well the two complements each other. The cream cheese brings a good balance to the intensity of the Musang King puree that amazes you in a manner that you don’t expect it to.

Enjoy 15% off when you quote “MTC15” upon checkout. Head over to D Lab’s website to purchase.
