What's on Waimai is a monthly column where we single out delicious delivery food choices for your dining convenience.
Durian is a divisive fruit. Pungent in its raw form, it is adored by contrarians for the shock value and unapproachability of its undeniable stink and the allegedly delicate flavors concealed beneath it.
We’ve always been of the opinion that, while it tastes fine, the flavors of durian have never really outweighed its pronounced tropical pong. So it’s with great reluctance that we concede that, when mashed to a paste, spread tenderly over dough and baked under a generous helping of mozzarella cheese, the flesh of the spiky fruit attains a savory richness and creamy nuttiness that is unrivaled in the plant kingdom.
We know that hastily baked, fruit-salad pizzas replete with corn and mayonnaise are a dime-a-dozen in major Chinese cities but trust us as former skeptics when we say that Le César’s durian pie is a cut above, a fact that’s admittedly reflected in its price-point. The only thing missing is a little black pepper or dried chili flakes.
Next time you’re craving something filling – but different – give Le César’s a try. You may surprise yourself.
