Royal Durian Launches Its First-Ever Mao Shan Wang Mooncakes In Collaboration With Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

Royal Durian might be a pretty fresh face in the local food scene but durian aficionados would definitely have heard of them. The Mao Shan Wang specialist offers the highest grade Mao Shan Wang durians and durian pastries at pocket-friendly prices. They now have a concept cafe sending out fantastic durians and addictive durian creations that keep the young and old, and entire families, returning for more.

For a young brand of a year old to be making waves like this in a market that’s dominated by big and known players, and to have proven themselves and won the hearts of many in such a short time, you know they are doing something right.

If you’re a loyal fan of Royal Durian, you might have been hoping for them to launch a durian mooncake this year. As we all know, coming up with a mooncake isn’t an easy feat. Hence, the team at Royal Durian decided to partner the best chefs at award-winning Chinese restaurant, Wan Hao, at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel to launch their first-ever Mao Shan Wang mooncake.

Excellent choice, we say.

The mooncakes at Wan Hao have never disappointed, and we have found it incredible that the chefs are able to constantly come up with even more amazing mooncakes than they have the year before. And now, the dream team has made magic happen. This meticulously-crafted durian mooncake that’s made with 100% premium and real Mao Shan Wang durian flesh could very well be the absolute best that you’re going to taste this Mid-Autumn festival. Are you excited? Because we sure are!

Encased in an exquisite red and gold two-tier gift box, the rich and decadent mooncakes (set of 8 – $118) will, no doubt, be a splendid gift for family, friends, and business associates. To be very frank, we are expecting the durian mooncakes to be snapped up really quickly.

Truth be told, we were blown away by how delicious they were — to the point that we were all fighting for the last piece. Imagine that! Intense and rich, this immaculate mooncake is what we will call “on point”, and “solid”. It was love at first bite for us. You have to try it for yourself to know exactly what we are talking about. So good!

Wan Hao is a purveyor of the finest ingredients, so it’s no surprise at all that they have welcomed Royal Durian’s brilliant produce with open arms. This limited-edition mooncake is packed full of only the finest and purest durian flesh that’s creamy and bittersweet.

Those who have tried Royal Durian’s Mao Shan Wang durians will definitely agree that their durians are exceptional. Their durians are sourced specially by the two owners from the famed durian-propagation region in Raub, a humble town in Pahang, Malaysia. Equivalent to the “Burgundy” of durians, it is said that the region produces one of the world’s best durians.

Royal Durian cultivated their Mao Shan Wang durians from old trees which are of certain maturity and ages, born from the good seeds, and having captured the best traits on the rich soils along the hill slopes in the highlands where the climate is optimal and rainfall is ample. After years and years of travelling and exploration, the duo behind Royal Durian finally found a unique and authentic Mao Shan Wang that they fell in love with and truly believe in. How better to love their favourite fruit than to share it with their fellow countrymen?

Reaping the best Mao Shan Wang crop harvest since its establishment in 2019, Royal Durian further ensures the durian’s superior quality by always hand-picking and peeling only the Mao Shan Wang durians that meet their stringent selection criteria, before sending the fruits straight to production within 24 hours to preserve its freshness. The team takes pride in quality assurance and high standards of operational procedures, and no durian is left overnight at Royal Durian.

To ensure there is sufficient top-grade durian flesh for the mooncakes, a portion of the durians that reaches Singapore every evening will be sent for the production of mooncake as each kilogram of durian that is de-seeded only yields around 10% to 15% of high-quality flesh. Their dedication and commitment to consistency and quality is certainly commendable. And that is how this young brand has built such a strong following in just the one year that they have been around. We are impressed, and we are pretty sure you will be too.
