But for this post, I'm just concentrating on their breads.
Specifically, the taro mochi bun.
A gigantic pillowy taro bun, which sells for $1.69.
In a star shape.
Filled with taro paste and taro mochi. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. For taro lovers, it's a triple dream come true. Taro sweet bread, taro paste, gooey taro mochi.
The taro toast, which is really a loaf of sweet bread with taro paste swirls, sells for $2.50.
But really, I just go for the taro mochi bun.
And panda cookies, because I can't ever get enough of their cuteness.

ReplyDeleteThose taro buns look great, but they don't hold a candle to yours (in the earlier post)!
ReplyDeleteI am a taro girl...taro, ube, cassava...bring em on!
ReplyDeletehmmm bakeries...they're one of my fetishes. sometimes (most of the times), i just walk in and spend so long...even without buying anything...they're feasts for my eyes and soul
I love taro paste! And to see it in bread-I can see how lovely it will go together!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd how i wish they hv more of these bakeries in Perth! I love the soft aroma and taste of these breads.
Happy Christmas Wandering Chopsticks!
Pirikara,
ReplyDeleteTaro paste and taro mochi!
PE,
Aww, you're too sweet. But trust me, they're so much better than mine.
MCR,
I love bakeries too! But I could never resist walking in and walking around, but never buying anything.
Daphne,
Merry Xmas! Aww, too bad Perth doesn't have more of these bakeries for you to indulge in! I imagine you get your fill of them in Singapore though.
I love the taro mochi bun! I havent had one since May D: Since I moved away, I been so craving one ;-; but theres no reason to go near the area, specially on bus and in the rain - Izzy
ReplyDeleteeverything sounds so interesting!I've never heard of such combinations - taro mochi bread sounds like starchy heaven to me...
ReplyDeleteIzzy,
ReplyDeleteTaro mochi bun is reason enough to come out just for it. But yeah, I wouldn't do it on a bus and in the rain either.
Foodhoe,
If you're a taro lover, this definitely hits the spot.
Mmm, that combo sounds delicious. Thanks for posting all these tasty finds!
