March 12, 2008 | 3,156 views

After hearing so much bout this outlet which sells yummy durian cream puffs, I decided to go buy some and try. No doubt non-durian lovers will be put off by such pungent smelling innocent looking tiny puffs. But the durian beast in me was unleashed, hehe, as hey! I managed to find this place!
