About this dish

A luxurious Taiwanese pastry featuring flaky, layered crust surrounding sweet red bean or lotus seed paste with a salted duck egg yolk center. The contrast between the buttery pastry, sweet filling, and savory yolk creates a complex, indulgent experience. Traditionally enjoyed during Mid-Autumn Festival but available year-round at quality bakeries.
