Oriental Kopi Singapore has added a distinctly purple twist to its pastry line-up with the launch of a new Taro Series, bringing two taro-focused creations to its outlets here for the first time.
Made with Taiwan Dajia taro, the range comprises the Taro Polo Bun and Taro Egg Tart, each pairing the earthy sweetness of taro with familiar Oriental Kopi favourites.
Taro Polo Bun combines a crispy purple crust with chilled butter
The new Taro Polo Bun gives the classic polo bun a taro-inspired makeover, starting with a crisp purple sweet potato crust on top.
Inside, fragrant Taiwan Dajia taro paste is paired with a thick slab of chilled butter, creating a mix of crunchy, creamy and buttery textures in each bite. The combination also leans into the contrast that makes traditional butter-filled polo buns appealing, with the cool butter sitting between the warm bun and smooth taro filling.
Its deep purple exterior makes it one of the more eye-catching additions to Oriental Kopi’s pastry selection, while the taro paste adds a mellow sweetness without moving too far away from the familiar polo bun format.
