Singapore - July 8, 2011 - Drift into durian heaven with Chef Christoph as Orchard Cafe brings back its popular Delicious Durian Dinner with more mouth-watering desserts!

Save yourself the hassle of handling this thorny fruit and enjoy free flow of fresh durians at our Durian Station specially set up at the Orchard Terrace. Chef will be whipping up ala minute durian fritters, waffles or simply the freshly opened fruit to delight fans of The King of Fruits!

The dinner buffet features a wide spread of Singapore favourites including Orchard Cafe's Signature dishes such as Braised Pork Belly, Fried Bee Hoon with Pig's Trotters, Ikan Assam Pedas and LIVE cooking stations dishing out Fresh Herbal Prawns, Kuey Chap, Laksa, Mee Rebus and more. Indulge in a variety of the spiky fruit desserts such as Glutinous Rice with Durian, Durian Ice Kacang, Durian Puffs, Durian Smoothie, Durian stuffed Pancakes, Signature Chilled Durian Pengat Shooters and Chef Christoph's new creations!

“The pungent smell of the durian may be too strong for most foreigners. However this creamy local fruit can be created into yummy fusion desserts like Durian Chocolates, Durian Crème Brulee, Belgium-style Durian Fritters and Crispy Waffles filled with a luscious amount of pure durian. This creative take on a local favourite is well loved by both the locals and foreigners alike.” says Chef Christoph.
