I Finally Satisfied My Serawa Durian Craving at Ezycafe by Ezydurian

Durian has its season, and right now, it’s in full swing. But honestly, I’ve never been one to get excited about it. Whether it’s peak season or not, durian just isn’t something I’d go out of my way to buy. The smell alone keeps me from storing it in my house. Still, that doesn’t mean I don’t eat it at all. I can handle maybe up to three pieces, max. Any more than that and I’ll probably regret it. Most of the time, I just don’t bother.

But there’s one exception I’ll always make when it comes to durian, and that’s Serawa Durian. That creamy, coconut-rich dessert is the only durian-based dish I genuinely look forward to. I had been craving it for over two weeks, along with a good bowl of cendol. Unfortunately, most places only served durian cendol or the fruit itself, no serawa. Then my amazing partner found a hidden gem: Ezycafe by Ezydurian in Bandar Baru Bangi. A spot that offers not just fresh durians but also has both Serawa Durian and Durian Cendol on the menu.

✅ What Exactly Is Serawa Durian?

For those unfamiliar with this delicious traditional dessert, Serawa Durian is a creamy, sweet durian-based dish made by simmering durian flesh with thick coconut milk, gula Melaka (palm sugar), and pandan leaves. It’s usually served warm and paired with pulut (sticky glutinous rice), though my personal favorite way to eat it is with bread.

It’s rich, silky, slightly caramelized, and surprisingly soothing—perfect for those who may not like eating raw durian but want to enjoy its flavor in a more refined, dessert-like way. Basically, if durian was too loud for you before, serawa durian is its softer version.

(I love tempoyak too, but let’s save that for another day.)

✅ First Impressions: A Durian Heaven for Every Kind of Eater

The moment we stepped into Ezycafe by Ezydurian, we were welcomed by the scent of fresh durian. Just near the entrance, rows of durians were neatly displayed like a local fruit stall blended into a cozy café.

They offer a wide selection of durian types to choose from. You’ll find everything from Kampung durian and Kahwin to premium picks like D24, Udang Merah, and Musang King. You can choose to buy the whole fruit or just the durian flesh, depending on what you’re in the mood for. It’s convenient for those who want to eat on the spot or bring some home.

The café itself is surprisingly spacious—much larger than I expected. The main area has plenty of dining tables scattered across an open-plan layout, making it perfect for casual meals. Surrounded by greenery and soft natural light, the space has a relaxed, outdoor feel, while still being comfortably indoors.

They’ve also created room for more than just dining. For birthdays, group gatherings, or even small weddings, private rooms and event spaces are available for booking.

The overall vibe is relaxed and welcoming. No dress code, no pressure—just come as you are. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time and start planning your next visit before you even leave.

✅ The Menu: A Surprising Mix of Local and Western Delights

One thing that really impressed me about Ezycafe by Ezydurian was how extensive their menu is. It’s not just all about durian—they’ve got something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for a full meal or just a sweet treat. From traditional Malay comfort food to Western classics, their menu covers a wide range of tastes.

What We Ordered

🥗 Grilled Chicken Salad + Peach Tea (My pick)

The portion was generous—plenty of fresh greens topped with nicely grilled chicken. The plate looked vibrant and well put together. While it didn’t blow me away in terms of flavor, it was a good, light choice for anyone looking for something healthier.

What really stood out, though, was the peach tea. The balance of sweet and sour was spot on, super refreshing. It had that fruity tang that hits just right on a hot day. Even my partner, after just one sip, went, “This is surprisingly really good!” Honestly, I’d go back just for the drink alone.

🍲 Asam Pedas ‘Daging Tetel’ Set (Partner’s pick)

The meal came complete with rice, stir-fried cabbage, and a side of fresh salad with cucumber and tomato slices. The ‘daging tetel’ had a good portion, though the texture was a little on the chewy side. The gravy tasted nice and mild, but it could’ve had a stronger flavor. Not bad overall, but not a standout either.

As part of the set, it came with a glass of rose syrup with chia seeds, which was nice: not too sweet and a perfect combo with the meal.

🍨 Durian Cendol (with Kampung Durian)

Refreshing and satisfying, just as you’d expect. The cendol was soft, the shaved ice finely done, and the portion generous. However, we both felt it could’ve used a creamier coconut milk base and a deeper hit of palm sugar to really bring it to life. The kampung durian on top, however, was a winner—thick, fragrant, creamy, and beautifully fresh. Definitely the highlight of the bowl.

🥣 Serawa Durian with Pulut

This. Was. Everything.
The serawa was rich, creamy and had that beautiful golden-yellow glow. The texture was smooth and luxurious, not watered down like some versions I’ve had elsewhere. The sweetness was just right, enhancing the durian’s deep flavor without overwhelming it. It delivered that bold durian taste, but in a way that was mellow and beautifully balanced. Every spoonful felt indulgent but comforting—pure dessert bliss.

The sticky rice (pulut) served on the side was soft and paired perfectly with the serawa. It added a nice chewy contrast to the silky texture of the sauce. Honestly, I didn’t want it to end. If there was one thing I’d change, it’s the portion size—I wish they offered a large bowl option!

✅ The Price

Ezycafe by Ezydurian offers a solid menu at prices that won’t make your wallet cry. It’s especially worth it if you catch their daily promotions, which make the already affordable meals even more value-packed.

Main dishes are typically priced between RM20 to RM30, depending on what you choose. Desserts like their cendol and serawa durian start from RM6, which is quite reasonable considering the portion size and taste. Durian prices vary depending on the type and weight.

Overall, if you’re planning a full meal with drinks and dessert, expect to spend around RM25 to RM40 per person. That’s quite reasonable for a cozy spot with a specialty focus like this.
