dishes

Durian has been described as the most dreadful-smelling fruit in the world. Its 
aroma has been compared to rotting flesh, raw sewage and rubbish dumps.
The smell is so noxious that the spiky-skinned, custard-like fruit is banned 
from public places in its native Singapore and Malaysia, as well as in many 
Hong Kong hotels.
Studies have shown the odour of durian comes from a chemical compound called 
ethanethiol, but it isn’t clear how it is produced in the fruit. A new study, 
published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, finds that as a 
durian ripens, its ethionine content increases, resulting in a stronger smell.
Durian is considered a rich source of the vitamin B complex, vitamin C, dietary 
fibre, potassium and iron. It is also purported to have anti-ageing, 
antidepressant and cancer-prevention properties, as well as being high in 
antioxidants and with the ability to maintain blood sugar levels.

away. I thought to myself, maybe it can be used to create a new dish

These health benefits could be fuelling rising demand in China for its pungent 
flesh. In 2021, China imported US$4.2 billion worth of durian, or 821,500 
tonnes. According to the country’s General Administration of Customs, that’s a 
42.7 per cent increase on 2020.

There is no recent data for durian imports to Hong Kong, but according to a 
government logistics report, the number of durians passing through Hong Kong 
ports rose by 570 per cent between 2010 and 2020.

So, despite its reputation, the numbers suggest that its popularity is growing. 
And for some the raw fruit is not enough any more.
Hotel Icon in East Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong has championed the “king of fruits” 
for the past four years with its annual Malaysian durian festival.
While durian cheesecake, ice cream and other desserts are commonplace, in 
recent years chefs at the hotel have been experimenting with durian in savoury 
dishes. These include double-boiled durian and abalone chicken soup, and 
deep-fried chicken rolls stuffed with D24 durian – a popular variety of the 
fruit – and glutinous rice.

“Durian is known as the king of fruits, and the soft white flesh as well as the 
seeds are valuable as, after boiling, they can help to relieve hot flushes,” 
says Hotel Icon’s executive chef, Danny Ho.
To make the double-boiled soup he first simmers chicken broth for three hours, 
then adds Chilean abalone, flesh, shell and seeds from Musang King durian – a 
prized variety – snow fungus, winter melon, and red dates, and boils it all for 
another three hours. The result is a delicious and nourishing soup which 
conveys a hint of the durian’s aroma and natural sweetness.

Ho feels the combination of ingredients is a novel way to appreciate the fruit. 
“The mixture of succulent chicken breast, glutinous rice, durian flesh and 
beetroot wrapped in seaweed gives a crunchy and chewy texture,” he says. “The 
durian paste matches very well with the deep-fried chicken, like a mustard 
sauce.”

A durian buffet at W Hong Kong’s Kitchen restaurant was so popular that it 
returned for a second year. The menu featured savoury items even bolder than 
Hotel Icon’s, such as durian fish curry, salami durian pizza, cottage pork pie 
with Thai basil and durian, and baked durian quiche with sausages.
Baking durians concentrates the flavour and sweetness and mediates the 
ethionine content.
“For my durian cottage pie, I got inspiration from the British cottage pie,” 
says Jeffrey Siew Khoon Poh, Kitchen’s executive chef. “Instead of traditional 
minced beef, I used minced pork and diced vegetables with herbs and spices, 
topped with durian mashed potato and baked until a golden crust forms.”


The durian fish curry was inspired by one of Siew’s favourite dishes. “I like 
to eat fish head curry, so I infused durian purée into the curry and replaced 
the fish head with barramundi fillets or sea bass,” says Siew.
Kerry Hotel Hong Kong is hosting a Southeast Asian and Durian Feast buffet for 
afternoon tea and dinner throughout August.
As well as desserts and various varieties of durian, it includes innovative 
savoury items such as charcoal-grilled durian beggar’s chicken.

Created by Andy Cheng Mo-leong, the hotel’s senior sous chef, the dish is 
prepared on the buffet restaurant’s outdoor terrace, where the spring chickens 
are roasted inside durian shells until juicy and tender, and exude a light 
durian aroma.
“I got the inspiration from our last Durian Feast, in 2021,” he says. “When the 
team cut open a lot of fresh durian, the fruit shell was simply thrown away. I 
thought to myself, maybe it can be used to create a new dish for next year – 
and here it is!”
