Pierre Herme in Singapore will be first in the world with bubble tea, first outside Paris to serve ice cream
Macaron maestro Pierre Herme, who needs no introduction, is opening his first Southeast Asia flagship store in Singapore on Aug 1 at Resorts World Sentosa, and we can already hear the sweet-toothed jumping up and down in excitement. Apart from rows and rows of gorgeous macarons in every shade of the rainbow begging to be chosen, there'll also be pastries, viennoiseries, madeleines and cakes, as well as delicious things to take home or gift, like jams, chocolates, pralines, chocolate spreads and chocolate powders. Macarons here will also include some Singapore-exclusive flavours. But, that's not all. Pierre Herme in Singapore will be the first in the world to have a Pierre Herme Paris Bubble Tea Stand. The icy bubble teas topped with tapioca pearls and fruit spheres will come in flavours iconic to the brand, such as Ispahan, a marriage of rose and lychee; Satine, combining orange and passionfruit; and the Jardin de Pierre tea blend flavoured with citrus, jasmine, rose and violet. There's more: Singapore will also be the first in the world outside Paris to have a Pierre Herme Paris Ice Cream Bar. There'll be 12 flavours of ice cream to tempt, including some Singapore-exclusive flavours, with additions to come. One special pastry launching exclusively in Singapore will be called Trick the Eye, a treat in the shape of a mini Peanut Butter French Toast that promises a surprise. There'll also be the world's first Pierre Herme Paris Furoshiki Stand offering a series of thematic traditional Japanese wrapping cloths. Available in three dimensions and three different colours, the furoshiki can be used for decor, gifting or accessorising. Visitors can also sit down to a hearty meal at the full-service all-day dining restaurant La Table by Pierre Herme, with classic French dishes like Oeuf Mollet, Oignon Roscoff, Tarte Petit Pois, Filet de Boeuf and and Croque-Monsieur Volaille. If you can't wait, get a sneak taste of Pierre Herme's macarons at a limited-time pop-up at Hotel Ora's Level 1, within Resorts World, running from now until the store's official opening. Here, there'll be a curated selection of the brand's signature macarons. Consider our appetite whetted.

Durian lovers, rejoice! ‘All Hail the King Durian Fest' is back with an all-you-can-eat buffet starring Musang King, Red Prawn, D24 @ Resorts World Sentosa
Photo: RWS Sentosa SINGAPORE: All right, people, this is not a drill! Musang King, D24, Red Prawn, and other tropical fruits are on the 'All Hail the King Durian Fest' menu—only for six nights this July! Trust us when we say that this is the ultimate combo: Mao Shan Wang (Musang King) + tropical fruits + coconut water + resort vibes = the most epic durian night out you'll have this year. So if you love durian as much as we do (or know someone who does), here's the ultimate treat: Resorts World Sentosa is bringing back its wildly popular durian buffet—and it's more indulgent than ever. Clear your schedules: The Durian Buffet of your dreams is back! Running over two weekends in July (11–13 and 18–20), this exclusive durian feast will take place at The Bay Restaurant inside Adventure Cove Waterpark. Photo: FB/Brendon Chan ( For 90 glorious minutes (6 pm to 7.30 pm), guests can go wild with bottomless servings of Musang King, D24, and Red Prawn durians—arguably three of the most legendary varieties out there. And the price of this fruity splurge? S$268 per person. Worth it? You bet, especially if you're the kind who treats durian season like a national holiday. Booking Details (before it's too late) If you're already drooling, here's everything you need to know: 🗓 Dates: July 11–13 and 18–20 🕕 Time: 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm 📍 Location: The Bay Restaurant, Adventure Cove Waterpark, Resorts World Sentosa 💸 Price: S$268 per person 📲 Booking: Slots are limited, and these events usually sell out fast, so gather your durian squad and book ASAP! And it's not just durian… There's fresh fruit and cooling drinks too! This isn't your usual roadside stall scene. Think chill vibes, resort setting, and tropical fruit galore. Besides the durians (which, let's be honest, are the main event), you'll get to snack on an abundant spread of tropical fruits like rambutan and mangosteen, and may be more—all of them perfect palate cleansers between durian rounds. Photo: Freepik/jcomp To help you stay refreshed, they're serving up a cooling coconut water or the iconic 'Three Legs Cooling Water.' It's the classic go-to for balancing out the 'heatiness' of durian, and every local knows it's a must after a durian feast. Let's talk durians: What's on the table If you're not already convinced, here's a quick Durian 101 on what's being served: Depositphotos/awaygy (for illustration purposes only) Mao Shan Wang (aka Musang King) The rockstar of all durians. Bold, buttery, and packed with punch. If you like your durian bitter-sweet and ultra-creamy, this one's your soulmate. D24 Reliable, balanced, and smooth. Once the top dog before MSW took the throne, D24 is still a fan fave—less intense, but deeply satisfying. Red Prawn Soft, sweet, and a little flirtier than the others. It has a unique reddish tint and melts like custard in your mouth. Beginners tend to love this one. Basically, if you've ever argued over which durian is best, this buffet gives you a chance to settle the score. Or just eat them all and call it a win. Soak it in: Luxe vibes without the street heat Set inside the waterpark's Bay Restaurant, the buffet setting is equal parts breezy and bougie. No need to hunch over on plastic stools or swat away flies—this is durian eating in comfort. It's also perfect for family outings, date nights (for adventurous couples), or a fun treat-yourself weekend with your fruit-loving crew. Plus, you get to skip the durian stall gamble. No guesswork, no bad batches—just good, fresh fruit. Final Bite: Is this even worth it? If you're the kind who counts down to durian season or hoards Mao Shan Wang in your freezer, this buffet is calling your name. You're getting premium fruit, a chill tropical setting, refreshing drinks, and a flavour-packed evening—all rolled into one. So yeah! This is definitely not just another buffet. It's a full-on durian fantasy with a five-star twist. But wait! Why are people so crazy about durians anyway, you may ask Love it or loathe it, durian is one fruit that refuses to be ignored. Nicknamed the 'King of Fruits,' it's known for its powerful aroma, spiky exterior, and rich, custard-like flesh that delivers a complex flavour—sweet, bitter, and slightly savoury—all at once. Photo: Facebook/Uncle Tan Orchard Stingless Bee Farm For many Southeast Asians, durian isn't just food; it's an experience. From childhood memories of eating it by the roadside with family, to late-night durian hunts during peak season, this fruit has deep cultural roots. Part of the obsession comes from its seasonality. Durians aren't available all year round, and when they do appear, fans rush to get their fix before they're gone. It's that fleeting nature—like cherry blossom season in Japan—that adds to the hype. And with varieties like Mao Shan Wang or Musang King commanding premium prices, durian has become something of a luxury indulgence, sparking debates over which breed is best and where to find the 'creamiest' bite. The intensity of durian's smell and taste also creates a kind of cult appeal. First-timers are often overwhelmed, but those who get hooked are hooked for life. It's not unusual for die-hard fans to travel across the island or even across borders just for a trusted stall or farm. Whether you're Team Musang King or Team Red Prawn, one thing's for sure: once you fall in love with durian, there's no going back. Just don't do anything crazy like what a tourist from China did after she ate a durian in a local hotel unless you want to be slapped with an S$200 cleaning fee. The woman then took to social media to warn others so they don't make the same costly mistake.
