Ms Durian

 There's been plenty of buzz from media and radio stations about Ms Durian's 6th anniversary celebration and it’s no wonder why. They're going all out with a whimsical Forbidden Forest theme that’s got everyone talking. Sounds like a magical durian-filled experience not to be missed.

The first swing of the door led me straight into a beautifully enchanting forest setting. What immediately caught my attention was the striking manmade durian husk bench placed right in front, alongside a charming waterfall feature created with blue LED lights and soft drapes. Scattered props on the ground mimicked rocks, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. 

Enchanting!

It was truly heartwarming to see the amount of thought and effort owner Ling Goh and her team poured into this 6th anniversary celebration.

Forbidden Forest Theme

It was such fun putting on those safety helmets, it felt like we were stepping into a durian plantation, where a durian could drop from above at any moment without warning.

It added a playful and immersive touch to the whole experience, making the themed celebration even more memorable.

Put on your helmets, durians might drop anytime!

We had our dinner tucked away in a cozy corner of the café, surrounded by the charming forest-themed setting. I loved the ambiance, with durian trees and branches thoughtfully placed around us, it felt like dining in a little durian grove.

Our Dinner Setting

The decorations were meticulously detailed, with the durian elements creatively depicted as if they had fallen onto the ground, surrounded by a puddle of water that reflected them like a mirror. It was such a thoughtful touch! I’m curious where they drew so much inspiration from for that design.

Given the amount of space, it looks like it would be a great spot for hosting parties. It seems like the kind of place that could bring a lot of fun and energy to any event!

Space

The space is so expansive that they even have a gravelled ground for a glamping theme! It must be a blast to relax in the tents and enjoy the open sky. 

Enjoy your outdoor dining

Campfire?

It looks especially cool when the night falls, with the whole atmosphere transforming into something magical.
Glamping

For their non-airconditioned seating area, they’ve created a lovely garden-themed setting, with plants all around that make you feel completely surrounded by nature. It’s a refreshing and calming atmosphere—almost like dining in a cozy little greenhouse.

As someone who enjoys cycling, I was instantly drawn to their dessert cart when I noticed the Shimano gear shifters, it was such a delightful touch. I found out that the cart is mainly used for their events. 

Push Cart

It’s beautifully crafted, complete with an umbrella for shade and decorative durians on display. The whole setup was charming and inviting.

I just got a durian

From 22 March to 30 April 2025, every $66 spent in a single receipt earns you a spin on their sure-win gachapon machine, where you can score exclusive prizes. I’ve got my eye on those quirky Durian Bedroom Slippers, just imagine padding around the house in those!

Sure-Win Treasure Dip

We had the Sambal Mushroom for sharing. The sautéed mushrooms were packed with umami, cooked with fragrant sambal belacan, garlic, and dried prawns. Each bite delivered bold and savoury flavours that kept us going back for more.

Sambal Mushroom - $6.50

One of us ordered the salty lychee, an interesting choice! It’s got that unique balance of sweet and salty, with a refreshing lychee twist. Perfect for something a little different and cooling.

Salty Lychee - $7.50

A refreshing durian-infused drink blended with creamy oat milk, offering a smooth, rich flavor in every sip. Chewy pearls are added for a delightful bite, while a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds on top brings a subtle nuttiness and a touch of texture contrast to this velvety treat.

Durian Ice Blended with Pearl - $11.50

That's a bold and exciting move! MSW Durian Nasi Lemak going permanent on the menu! That says a lot about how well it was received. 

MSW Durian Nasi Lemak with Chicken Wing - $17.50

Durian with rice might raise eyebrows here in Singapore, but it’s definitely got deep roots in Malaysia.

Crispy Wing

 The use of Mao Shan Wang flesh within the coconut rice sounds like a clever and indulgent twist, not just durian on the side, but really infused into the core of the dish. Fragrant, rich, and creamy grains must pair beautifully with the savoury-sweet components of traditional nasi lemak.

MSW Durian Nasi Lemak with Batang Fish - $21.50


Beautifully Fried Batang Fish

All the classic accompaniments, sunny side up egg, crispy ikan bilis, fried peanuts, cooling cucumber slices, that housemade sambal and then a juicy protein of choice? Sounds like a feast with layers of flavor and texture.

Tiger Prawns

Just as addictive as they looked, these six pieces of house-marinated chicken wings came coated in a glossy blend of sweet honey and spicy chilli. Each bite was bursting with juicy, flavorful goodness that kept us reaching for the next one.

Hot Honey Wings - $17

Calling all cheese lovers, this one's perfect for sharing. Creamy brie is paired with a trio of berry compote, topped with fresh parsley and shavings of grana padano. A lovely mix of sweet, savoury, and creamy all in one bite.

Fried Cheese - $17

Treat yourself to a generous serving of shoestring fries tossed with aromatic truffle oil and finished with a sprinkle of grana padano. Simple, satisfying, and full of flavour.

Truffles Fries - $14

We shared a plate of mini hash browns, crisped up beautifully with a satisfying crunch in every bite. They were served with a side of Thousand Island sauce and a sprinkle of spring onions for a touch of freshness, simple, comforting, and perfect for sharing.

Tater Tots - $10

For those who enjoy kaya toast, this is one you definitely shouldn’t miss! My friend, who had tried it before, was casually singing praises for this dessert. The MSW durian was generously slathered on crispy white toast, paired perfectly with a slab of salted butter, what a decadent twist on a local classic!

MSW Durian Kaya Toast - $12.80

Introducing their Kaya Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake, a delightful fusion of rich, velvety durian and house-made durian kaya. The balance is spot on, with just the right ratio of durian kaya layered over soft, spongy cake. It’s indulgent yet not overly cloying, making each bite a satisfying treat.

Kaya Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake - $11.90 Per Slice

Here comes the Charcoal Bomb, a delectable explosion of durian goodness encased in a mochi yam crust.

 It’s a riot of textures in every bite: velvety-rich creamy MSW ice cream, wrapped in chewy mochi, and finished with crunchy biscuit bits. An indulgent treat that’s as fun to eat as it is satisfying.

Ji Ba Boom!
