Durian season may be over, but if you still find yourself craving for the King of Fruits, check out the Hong Kong Egglet at 111 Somerset. While the brand is more commonly known for its egg waffles, select outlets—including the Somerset one—offer a decadent Mao Shan Wang durian waffle.
Shortly after ordering the Durian Waffle (from $7.80), you’ll see a box filled with the golden yellow fruit’s flesh taken out of storage. Once your waffle has finished cooking, the durian flesh will be liberally smeared onto it, as you can see in the image above.
The result is a waffle that’s impressively packed with durian flesh. While we can’t exactly say this uses the highest quality Mao Shan Wang out there, we’d say that it’s worth a try, especially if you’re a fan of durian or decadent treats in general.
While you’re there, consider trying some of Hong Kong Egglet’s other offerings. Their classic egg waffles AKA egglets come in numerous flavours, such as Chocolate ($4.50), Pandan ($4.10), and Strawberry ($4.20). There are even more adventurous options such as Spicy Shrimp ($4.20) and Pizza ($4.10).
They also have more conventional waffles with fillings such as Peanut (from $2.80) and Kaya (from $2.80). Meanwhile, those who enjoy the croissant and waffle hybrid that is the croffle can opt for items such as the Croffles Butter ($3.90) and Croffles Blueberry ($3.90).
