PSA: Popular Malaysian chain Oriental Kopi, which has outlets in NEX Serangoon, Bugis Junction, and Westgate, has an exciting launch. They’ve rolled out a new Taro Polo Bun ($5.80++) for a limited time only!

Previously, this orh nee treat was only available at their Malaysia outlets, so Singaporeans had to cross the border to JB for their fix.

This sweet and savoury treat features a crispy sweet potato crust that’s infused with real purple sweet potato and baked in-house. It’s then slathered with a generous amount of house-made taro paste, prepared with Dajia taro from Taiwan for a deep and earthy flavour. The orh nee is said to be naturally sweet and fragrant, with a rich and creamy texture.

The snack is complete with thick slabs of salted butter, tucked into the warm yam filling right before it’s served. The combination of the crispy bun with the smooth taro paste and chilled butter is said to be divine.

That’s not all: the cult favourite cafe chain has also rolled out a new Taro Egg Tart ($3++), featuring a handmade, 128-layer taro crust filled with the same Dajia taro paste and creamy egg custard.

As both items are seasonal, we encourage you to visit ASAP before it’s too late!

While you’re there, you have to order Oriental Kopi’s Signature Nasi Lemak ($9.90++): fragrant coconut rice with sambal, peanuts, anchovies, a fried egg, and a crispy fried chicken thigh. Wash everything down with an Oriental Kopi (from $2++) or Oriental Kopi Cincau Ice ($4.20++).
