Durian puffs from Emicakes

Before I know about Goodwood Park Hotel's famous durian deli, daddy will always buy durian goodies from Emicakes. Since young, they have been known to be Singapore No. 1 durian maker. Since I didn't manage to get Jane's durian cake and yet I am near Jalan Kayu, I simply cannot resist not eating durians. Hence, I managed to persuade daddy to get me durian puffs.

There are 3 types of D24 products, be it their durian cakes or durian puffs and the choice is obvious if you don't mind the pungent smell of durians. With the most amount of durian pulp and the least cream is what Emicakes termed as Ultimate and if you prefer something mild with a tint of durian pulp, then Classics is what the staff at Emicakes will recommend. Prenium will be somewhere in between.

Their durian puffs are sold in the following pricing
Ultimate D24 puffs (12 puffs) - $18.00,
Premium D24 Puffs (6 puffs) - $8.00,
Ultimate D24 puffs (4 pcs) - $7.00,
Classic D24 puffs (12pcs) - $7

Since I am ok with durians, Ultimate is the way to go. No doubt the filling is generous, the durian pulp can be felt in every bite and the bittersweet durian just makes me so yummy but pay attention to the price, each piece costs a hefty $1.50 (if you purchase 12 puffs) and $1.75 (if only 4 pieces are purchased).

Now why do I suddenly sound so negative? Because the puff pastry is alittle hard and I would say Goodwood Park Hotel's fare far more better. Those generous durian pulp in each fluffy profiterole is so unforgetable despite me eating thrice. Based on April 2007, these bite-sized pastries are priced at $1.80 per piece, $10.50 for 6 pieces, and $34 for 20 pieces). So, isn't the choice clear now?

Anyway, final note, all UOB cards are entitled a 10% discount.
