Be D.lighted by tea-infused durian mooncakes

D.Lab is a spin-off of Durian Edition, with the aim of transforming durians into cheesecakes and other confectioneries.

It came about when Durian Edition tasked its ambassador, veteran local actor Thomas Ong, to test out some pastries during the circuit breaker period, and the process ended with chef Daniel Tay (of Cat & the Fiddle and Old Seng Choon) coming on board to create more treats.

And now, D.Lab is ready for its first Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is offering durian mooncakes filled with tea and gold. Products include Premium Oolong (two for $42), the creamy and bittersweet XO Durian (two for $38) and Signature Musang King (six for $98).

To order, visit www.durianedition.com/shop
