Malaysian Durian Festival 2024

The Malaysian Durian Festival, the highlight of each summer, is returning to Hotel ICON in July and August for brunch and dinner! Join us to celebrate the iconic annual festival this year with fresh durians, a wide spread of exotic durian-infused creations, authentic Southeast Asian live stations, chilled seafood and attractive prizes for an unforgettable experience.

This year, fresh durians will be opened on stage by our Executive Chef Danny using a durian peeling machine, offering the most authentic and delicious taste of flesh from imported durian varieties from Malaysia. Each guest will enjoy a platter of durian flesh with 5 varieties (children will enjoy 3 varieties). The platter includes the rich and creamy top-grade D197 Musang King, known as the "King of Kings" in the durian world, as well as the D200 Black Thorn, which is being served for the first time and boasts an extremely smooth texture and a strong sweet aftertaste. Additionally, there is the D24 Sultan, abundant in Penang, Malaysia, renowned for its thick and dense flesh with a velvety texture. Lastly, don't miss the opportunity to try two relatively rare and low-yield durian types in Hong Kong, the D88 and XO Durian.

Creative Durian dishes unlike any other, Executive Chef Danny partners with a TV celebrity chef to create the sweet and fragrant Mini Musang King Durian with Abalone Duck Soup, which is simmered for three hours using fresh duck meat and premium abalone, added with mini Musang King durian shells. The D197 Durian Cheese Baked Caribbean Lobster which combines hot and spicy cheese with sticky sweet Musang King durian is a must-try. Both items will be served to every individual guest.

The buffet table offers a variety of durian dishes in unlimited quantities, showcasing the skills and creativity of the chef team. The must-try durian dishes include Sabah Garoupa with Durian Toast, Deep-fried Seafood with D24 Durian in Tofu Skin, Durian Mango Salad with Spicy Sauce, Fried Fish with Durian Sauce, Crispy Cereal Prawn with Durian and Salted Egg, and more. Each dish is filled with the aroma of durian, making it truly mouthwatering.
