Duen Tai - Mochi

Duen Tai Crystal Taro Mochi Pastry is a masterpiece of traditional Taiwanese baking that celebrates regional flavours and contrasting textures. Each pastry features a stunning purple-and-white spiral crust crafted with meticulous lamination techniques to ensure a light, airy crunch. Nestled inside this flaky shell is a thick layer of premium Dajia taro paste, renowned for its naturally sweet, nutty, and fluffy consistency. At the very center lies a thick, pillowy core of traditional Taiwanese milk mochi. The resulting bite offers a perfect transition from a crisp outer crunch to a silky smooth filling, culminating in an incredibly satisfying, melt-in-your-mouth chewiness.

Duen Tai Lava Custard Pastry offers a luxurious, multi-sensory dessert experience that bridges traditional baking with modern culinary indulgence. The signature flaky crust opens up to a rich, fragrant taro filling that sets a comforting, earthy foundation. Nestled inside this taro matrix is a volcanic core of golden, salted duck egg yolk custard. Formulated to remain fluid at room temperature, this velvety lava core flows smoothly upon the first bite. It delivers a perfect sweet-and-savoury profile, where the rich, umami depth of the salted egg yolk cuts through the natural sweetness of the taro, creating an addictive flavour harmony.

Shelf Life & Best Before

• Official Shelf Life: 30 days from the date of manufacture when sealed in the original packaging.

Pro-Tips for Serving

• Heating the Lava Pastry: Place the pastry in a preheated oven at 170°C for 3 to 5 minutes, or microwave a single pastry for 10 to 12 seconds to amplify the molten, flowing effect of the egg yolk center.

• Softening the Mochi Pastry: If the pastry has been kept in a cold room and the mochi center feels slightly firm, a quick 8-second microwave refresh will instantly restore its ultra-stretchy, pillowy texture.
