Golden Moments Flagship Store

A visit to Golden Moments Flagship Store had struck off the conventional idea of enjoying durian outdoors, especially under the sweltering heat of Singapore's Weather. Located in Hotel Clover 796 of North Bridge Road, I would say the place is pretty accessible and walkable from Bugis MRT Station.

The short little alley just right at the entrance of Golden Moments was as busy as the dining area. People were doing live streams, staff handling the durian orders from both online and in-store.

Preparation

We were impressed by how the place was designed. Besides the air-conditioned area and comfortable cushioned seats, the design & structure of the entire store was well-planned. They pride themselves on Durians served fresh from farm to table, ensuring quality and great taste.

Fresh From Farm to Table

While the Mid-Autumn Festival is nearing, they are offering a 1 For 1 for their Premium Durian Omakase Snowskin Mooncake.

If you love durians and would like to bring them home to share with your love ones, they have vacuum-sealed service on the spot too and we do not need to worry about its strong smell, especially on the public transport.

As we had ordered the durians, the professionally dressed staff will push their trolley into the Store and patrons get a live demonstration of the staff in front of their eyes for durian opening.

Durian Opening

Since we were having the Durian Platter, upon retrieving the Durians' Flesh from the Husk, they will be placed on every step of the platter.

Demonstration

We ordered the Platter with Mao Shan Wang & Black Thorns. Are you able to distinguished them?

Durian Platter (Mao Shan Wang & Black Thorn) 榴莲拼盘 - $52

Mao Shan Wang durian is celebrated for its rich, complex flavour profile, creamy texture, and vibrant yellow flesh. It's considered one of the finest durian varieties, offering a luxurious and indulgent eating experience.

The Black Thorn Durian is a highly sought-after variety prized for its rich, creamy texture and complex flavor profile. The flesh is exceptionally creamy, smooth, and buttery, almost like custard. It has a slightly sticky consistency, which adds to its indulgent quality. The seeds are usually small, which means you get more flesh per fruit. This is another reason why it's favoured by durian enthusiasts.

Are you able to distinguish which seed belongs to which type of durian?

For those who prefer to keep their fingers clean after the durian feasts, Golden Moments has gotten you covered with these small packets of gloves on the table.
