This week is my “New Food” hunting week, very exciting! My friends and I went to a small Chinese restaurant call “糖记甜品/Sugar Marmalade”at Downtown location. I ate few desserts, but there was a dessert call “Durian Roll Supreme” which I think is unique compare to other desserts I ordered. My friend recommended it to me, I rejected it at first because it’s very weird to have durian in a coconut roll; I use to eat cooked salty roll with shrimps, and this is why my drain told me this dessert will be mix of saltiness and sweetness, and smells stinky at the same time...
Let me show you pictures! xD
Picture of the Durian for those who don't know it, it is call the "King of the fruit" too.

How It Look and Tastes
Wow.. I changed my mind when it came to my table..
The Durian Roll Supreme looks artistic and tasty by just looking at it. I like how they put strawberries on top of the cream, and chocolate syrup on the roll. The durian was seal inside the roll with whipped cream, and I did not smell any durian. I went close to the Durian roll supreme, So I smelled very little of durian, it was sweet and fresh. The whole dessert looks like two large size spring rolls or chocolate egg roll for me. I cut it into three pieces with knife slowly, I saw the durian are creamy and did not melt like crazy. It was very similar to the texture of whipped cream, but a little bit rough because of the nature fruit. At first, I smell the durian, it was not
stink as I thought.. After I ate it, it was sweet, creamy and soft. It just like the ice
cream melt in the month, but it’s room temperature desserts, neither cold or warm to eat it.
My favorite part
Is the sweet coconut roll which was the outside part of the Durian Roll Supreme, because it really taste like real coconut fruit, it was little bit chewy and soft too, but not so sweet, maybe that was the reason why the chef put the chocolate syrup on it. The whipped cream was normal cream, not sweet too. And the strawberries at aside was fresh as the durian.
There’s no bitter, salty, sour, spicy, umame, sounds for this dessert, which I think it should be like this or add a little bit sour is fine too.
My reflection
After having this dessert, I feel like I can try more random or multicultural foods that I never have before, because I still remember how my eyebrows were frowning and reject this dessert at the beginning. Also how fast I chanced my mind to try it. I would give five out five for this dessert because I really like it, it is not overly processed dessert too. It’s all fresh fruits and simple food wrap together. I will bring my friends who never have it before to try out this. And I recommend this to children and adults.
