Durian Crème Brulee

This is the most decadent dessert EVER. So many egg yolks, so much cream, and then there's Mao Shang Wang durian. It's perfect. So perfect that it will definitely lift your mood, especially with the torching and all.

I got the recipe from Singapore's Masterchef contestant, @sharmeee. 

This was for a special occasion, and I went all out to get the flesh and blowtorch too. Really had fun doing this, and glad that it made many happy. Made two batches but still have some flesh left, might just repeat this again! Tried thinking of other combinations of durian desserts but this seems the best. 

Mao Shang Wang durian flesh at Phoon Huat is not cheap! Or maybe it's not cheap anywhere, but wellsss special occasion so why not :)

6 egg yolks
240g durian puree
70g caster sugar
460g heavy cream
Brown sugar for sprinkling

  1. Mix the egg yolks and durian puree in a big bowl. 
  2. In a saucepan, add sugar and cream. Heat till bubbles form at the side and sugar is all melted. 
  3. Let it cool for 5 to 10 min, then slowly pour into the big bowl and continuously mix with the eggs and durian.
  4. Pour into ramekins, I got 7 using my Daiso ones.
  5. Bake for 20 min at 150°C bain-marie method.
  6. Cool completely, then let it set in the fridge.
  7. Sprinkle brown sugar and torch it just before devouring.

Hello my little hamster! Curious to know what this frozen yummy thing.


The initial prep! Durian mixed with egg yolks, and cream already melted with the sugar.


All baked and cooling down


I couldn't wait for it to set in the fridge, so after it has been completely cooled, I went to torch it anyway. OMG SO SEDAP.

Bubur Asyura

Finally made this! Have been wanting to do so cos this porridge has loads of nuts. Not exactly a healthy porridge though since there's coconut milk. I already have most of the ingredients and had the time, so why not! I realise there's different types of bubur Asyura but I settled for the one closest to us, the Johor version . There's a lottt of ingredients, so I'll list in order of which goes into the pot first. I also boiled the mutton a day earlier so I can collect and throw away the fat from the stock. Bubur Asyura Saute: 1 stalk lemongrass 1 cinnamon stick 1 star anise 3 cardamoms 5 cloves 2 big onions, sliced 1 inch ginger, sliced 3 garlic, sliced 10 cups water (half is mutton stock, half water) 1 cup rice, washed 300g mutton, already cooked and shredded 1 tbsp soto powder 1/3 cup dhal, soaked in water for 10 min 1/3 cup peanuts, washed 1 1/2 carrots, diced 1 can chickpeas, washed 1 can kacang pool, washed 1/2 can sweet corn, washed 1 small box coconut milk Heat o...

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
