Mung bean, red bean paste with sticky center |
This is a new innovation that has not departed too far from traditional flavors. What the manufacturer has done is to add a sticky rice roll in the center, very much like the Japanese mochi.
Pastry: Biscuit crust
Filling: Red or mung bean paste with sticky rice ball.
Tea match: It has to be green tea for such texture and sweetness. A pot of lightly brewed green tea such as a Hangzhou Dragon Well, or even a Japanese green tea, will be the perfect match.
