Palm Garden Hotel is embracing the Malaysian love for durian with its second annual Durian Hub event, aiming to solidify its status as a top destination for the 'king of fruits.' This year's event, running from July to September, offers premium durian varieties like Black Thorn and Musang King every Friday and Saturday evening.
Beyond simply serving durian, the hotel is introducing a "Durian Meeting Escape" package tailored for corporate clients. This unique offering replaces traditional meeting refreshments with fresh durian and ais kacang, blending business with local culinary culture. "For me, that is the most Malaysian way to end a productive day," said General Manager Marshall Chai.
This time we are coming up with a more organized package so that more people can enjoy the experience, including corporate clients and visitors from around Kuala Lumpur.
The hotel plans to supply approximately 100 kilograms of durian for each session to ensure ample availability. Chai highlighted that the hotel's resort-like atmosphere and its integration of local culture and food are key differentiators, providing an experience that goes beyond typical hotel stays.
After a day of meetings or training sessions, they will be served durian with ais kacang. For me, that is the most Malaysian way to end a productive day.
