We are here for more this round! One thing I really enjoy about visiting Ms Durian is that no two visits ever feel quite the same. During my last visit near Christmas, the café was decked out in a festive theme. Fast forward to this visit, and the entire space has been transformed into a laboratory-themed research department. From the quirky decorations to the creative setup, it feels as though the team has been busy experimenting with all things durian. I have to give credit to the amount of creativity and effort that goes into refreshing the space, making each visit a unique and memorable experience.

I love how every corner of the café has been thoughtfully designed and is incredibly Instagram-worthy. From the quirky quotes on the walls to the themed decorations, no detail has been overlooked. Kudos to the café owner and team for the creativity and effort put into creating such a fun and immersive experience.

Tucked away in one corner of the café is a lab overall and a series of durian extractor displays that further reinforce the laboratory theme. It's these little details that make the entire experience fun, creative, and Instagram-worthy.

While exploring the Durian Air Laboratory, I could not help but smile when I spotted this quirky sign. Among the usual reminders such as "No Outside Food Allowed" and "No Smoking," there was one rule that stood out, "No Outside Durian Allowed." It is a fun and humorous touch that perfectly complements the laboratory theme, almost as if only durians approved by the research team are allowed into the facility! Little details like these showcase the creativity behind the concept and make the experience all the more memorable.

Before leaving, do take a moment to browse the merchandise corner specially curated for Ms Durian's 7th Anniversary. Fans of the brand can pick up exclusive apparel, including crop tees and oversized tees featuring the quirky Durian Air theme. Other collectibles and practical items such as enamel pins and the Durian Odor Remover are also available, making for fun souvenirs or gifts for fellow durian lovers.

To complement the meal, I decided to try the Durian Coffee, a unique blend that combines cold brew coffee with the richness of Mao Shan Wang durian. Served in a glass bottle alongside a large ice sphere, the presentation was simple yet elegant. The cold brew provided a smooth coffee profile, while the durian added a creamy and aromatic finish, making it an interesting drink for both coffee and durian enthusiasts.

Fresh lemongrass tea infused with pandan leaves makes a delightful companion to the durian pastry. The light, refreshing notes of lemongrass and the subtle fragrance of pandan complement the rich, creamy durian beautifully, creating a balanced pairing that cleanses the palate with every sip. A simple yet comforting combination that allows the flavours of both to shine harmoniously.

To be honest, I am still missing their signature MSW Durian Nasi Lemak. This time, we had the Tiger Prawn Set, beautifully presented with every component neatly arranged on the plate. Accompanying the meal was a mini pot of housemade sambal, a sunny side up egg, crispy ikan bilis, fried peanuts and fresh cucumber slices.
The highlight remains the fragrant MSW-infused coconut rice, served atop a banana leaf. The subtle durian aroma blends surprisingly well with the savoury elements, creating a unique nasi lemak experience that keeps me coming back for more.

For those who enjoy laksa with a twist, this Dry Laksa with Tiger Prawns is worth trying. Featuring thick bee hoon coated in a rich and aromatic laksa sauce, the dish is topped with succulent tiger prawns, fish cake and crispy tau pok that soaks up all the flavourful goodness. Every bite delivers the familiar coconut and spice notes of laksa, without the soup, making it a satisfying and comforting dish.

A familiar local favourite gets a durian-inspired makeover with this Durian Kaya Butter Toast. Soft white bread is generously layered with fragrant durian kaya and a slab of salted butter, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and savoury richness. The creamy durian notes add an extra layer of indulgence while retaining the nostalgic charm of a traditional kopi shop breakfast.

Freshly baked with a crisp and crumbly chocolate choux shell, it is generously filled with rich and creamy Musang King durian cream. The contrast between the crunchy exterior and luscious durian filling makes every bite an indulgent treat, especially for durian lovers.

What an indulgent treat for durian lovers. The MSW Durian Cake features light and fluffy chiffon sponge layered with luscious Musang King durian cream and Madagascar vanilla chantilly cream. Smooth, creamy and not overly sweet, each bite delivers the rich aroma of premium durian balanced by the delicate sweetness of vanilla, making it a delightful dessert to round off the meal.

Served in a charming glass jar, the Durian Coconut Milk Pudding is a refreshing dessert that combines the richness of Musang King durian with the natural sweetness of fresh coconut milk. Silky smooth and creamy, the pudding offers a delicate balance of flavours, allowing the fragrant durian and coconut to complement each other beautifully. Best enjoyed chilled, it is a light yet satisfying way to end the meal.

A picture-perfect treat for durian lovers, the MSW Durian Ice Cream is served in an elegant glass bowl with generous scoops of creamy Musang King ice cream.
