Evil sistas food adventures continues, and our latest haunt is Coffee Lounge at Goodwood Park Hotel. There is a Durian Fiesta promo going on (30 May - 2 Aug 2015) and special durian pastries are offered as part of the Dessert buffet spread, on top of regular desserts, for daily Lunch and Dinner sessions.
A couple of dining options are available during the Durian Fiesta:
- $35.80++ per person (Dessert Buffet with Durian Pastries only)
- $28.80++ per person (Top-up of Dessert Buffet with Durian Pastries w/ any ala carte main course order)
- $49.80++ per adult, $24.90++ per child (Taiwan Porridge A La Carte Buffet, inclusive of Dessert Buffet w/ Durian Pastries)
Greedy us opted for the Taiwan Porridge buffet with the Durian Dessert buffet option. The Taiwanese porridge at Goodwood Park have been an all-time-favorite for decades, and I've finally got the opportunity to savor it, together with my fave durian pastries!The porridge buffet menu includes unlimited order of Sweet potato porridge, and an ala carte selection of 31 Savory dishes to go with it. We ordered over 10+ items from the 8 different categories, and really stuffed ourselves silly with yummy food.
Shredded bamboo shoots w/ chilli oil
Salted eggs & Salted fish
Deep-fried pomfret w/ black soya sauce
Sauteed prawns w/ dried chilli
Baby squid in sweet oyster sauce
Home style tofu
Prawn paste chicken
Fried omelette w/ chye poh
Pork w/ preserved vegetables
French beans w/ dried shrimps
Broccoli w/ garlicAll of the dishes were very good, my personal fave are the crunchy and refreshing Bamboo shoots, crispy Pomfret fish, the fresh and mildly spicy Prawns, sweet and crispy Baby squid and the flavorful bite-size Prawn paste chicken. There are several dishes that I'm still keen to try but couldn't make space in my stomach anymore.
And so, we made our way to the Dessert buffet station and check things out.

As I'm already feeling quite full, I only took the 6 durian pastries from the buffet station, and ordered the last item through the waiting staffs.
Durian Ice Cream w/ Rainbow BreadMy fave items were the Durian Pancake, Chocolate Wafer Roll, Durian Cappuccino Cake and the Macarons. The Durian Mousse Cake and the Durian Puffs which weren't chilled anymore, tasted quite disgusting. That is not the case if I buy them frozen from the Deli, and kept them fresh in the freezer. I'm also a little disappointed with the Durian Ice Cream w/ Rainbow Bread, the colorful bread was really dry and we ended up only eating the ice cream which was very delicious.
The Durian Fiesta doesn't just end here, well at least not for me. I bought more durian goodies from the Deli (the bakery beside the main lobby), and took advantage of my UOB credit card's 15% discount. Some of the items were bought earlier, but I shall share all of them here.
Durian Rainbow Ice Cream Cakes ($11.75 each)
Durian Puffs (2 for $8.55/ 6 for $21.40/ 20 for $51.35)
Durian Macarons ($22.45 for 6pcs)
The 20pcs Durian puffs are a must buy for me every year (they have a temp. kiosk at Compass Point yearly). The puffs are one of the best in town, with durian cream filling of at least 1 inch thick, and it's always satisfying to have them with warm beverages. The Macarons are new creation for this year, the chocolate shells matches the durian center perfectly, but they're quite sweet though. And lastly, the photogenic Durian Rainbow Ice Cream Cakes tasted as excellent as they looked.Although a tad pricey, I feel they are an occasional indulgence I have no qualms about paying for once a year.
