Step Aside Butter Board another innovation is about to hit the road with Chef Jo's Durian Board as Malaysia's latest offer to the world of culinary arts!
Butter boards, which encourage you to smear butter on a cutting board, top it with your favourite flavours and then scoop it up onto bread, are now the craze sweeping the culinary industry like a new food tsunami.
However, butter may be replaced by another equally spreadable element like chocolate, humus or even our local favourite fruit, durian.
Durian unlike butter has a strong natural taste and comes with a variety of flavours only connoisseurs will be able to discern.
This is where durian board becomes more challenging than just a mundane and ordinary butter board.
Butter is butter irrespective of where it originates from, be it Holland, France or Australia. You have to add your own herbs and spices to call it your own creation.
However, the durian board that Chef Jo of Masterchef Malaysia fame brings to you is unique. To make the durian board challenging to the individual taste buds durians must be preselected with care to allow the coinnosier to tell the difference without being prompted.
On the other hand, to the uninitiated a durian board experience may be the first step to a journey of discovery of a variety of durians the world has to offer.
I promise you it would be an eye-opener to one who knows only musang king and is blind to thousands of other varieties out there yet to be discovered.
Musang king is sickeningly sweet but durian kampung is not so, but instead has a character of its own. It depends on which state it comes from or what kind of soil it is grown on.
Then there is yet another, an offshoot of the tiny-seeded Thai variety that's firm in texture that will fill you up only with one piece of the oversized fruit.
There are other varieties that are even bittersweet. Chef Jo promises you a journey of great culinary experience with his new durian board.
Eating off a durian board need not be scooping up the spread with just a piece of mundane ordinary bread.
Chef Jo's durian board also offers the uninitiated into the world of Malaysian culinary delights by dipping a piece of roti jala, a slice of serabai or pulut panggang or even ketupat pulut into the durian spread laid out before you, decorated with a selection of Malaysian orchids and wildflowers will give you an impression that you are about to taste a culinary creation fit for a King.
So forget about butter boards and come join us on a culinary journey with Malaysia's latest culinary craze "Chef Jo's Durian Board". You'll love it!
