For those who believe the only thing better than a ripe durian is a ripe durian stuffed inside a pastry, you’ll be glad to hear that The Mills is bringing back their Summer Durian Paradise Market for one weekend only!
From June 13 to 14, a total of 14 local independent shops are turning the Tsuen Wan shopping mall into a wonderfully pungent celebration of the notorious king of fruits, bringing durian lovers a series of treats and desserts with a lingering taste (and smell) guaranteed to test the loyalty of your non-durian-loving friends.
The lineup includes Sugar Brothers HK, who are serving a durian sago pudding tart that wraps a rich, velvety durian filling inside a flaky pastry shell; Hokkaido fresh‑cream cake specialists Sweet Memories with their famously delicate Swiss rolls; and Ryan's chocolate, who are bringing artisanal dark chocolate filled with an intense burst of durian.
There’s also My Tart, offering a lava cheese tart that pairs premium Musang King with a molten cheese centre and their signature crust, alongside a market-exclusive Musang King candy and coconut wrap. For something a bit more playful, be sure to look for Sugarmama’s freeze-dried durian White Rabbit Candy and Chiujai’s durian dipping mochi that lets you dunk the chewy morsels into a rich housemade durian dip.
With tons more brands filling out the rest of the space with equally fragrant creations, you’ll have plenty to explore. The madness kicks off from 1pm to 8pm on the first floor of The Mills – just make sure your takeaway boxes are airtight before you brave the public transport home.
