Good news to those who love yam desserts: Beard Papa has a new taro cream puff this month, available for a limited time only! This follows the launch of their pistachio eclair cream puff, which was available during the Christmas season last year.
Officially called the Taro Eclair with Taro Cream ($4.80), the sweet treat features Beard Papa’s signature choux pastry encasing a generous amount of smooth orh nee cream, then finished with a white chocolate topping. The yam filling is said to boast a natural sweetness with a milky flavour, amped up with real bits of mashed taro within.
If you prefer black sesame, try their Black Cookie Classic with Goma Cream ($4.80), another new item on the menu.
You get a dark cocoa cookie-crusted choux pastry piped with an earthy black sesame cream that’s said to be nutty and fragrant, yet not overly sweet. Fans love the combination of the crispy, airy puff with the smooth and creamy black sesame filling.
While you’re there, take advantage of Beard Papa’s discounted CNY set. Perfect for gifting, the Lunar New Year Prosperity Box comes with two goma and two taro puffs for just $16.80 instead of the usual $19.20.
As with most of Beard Papa’s seasonal flavours, these puffs will be here for a limited time, so grab them while you can.
If you’re in the mood for more orh nee treats, head to Suukee Coffee in One-north for their yam butter toast and taro-infused kopi.
