Description
Vigor Kobo's Mandarin Duck Mung Bean Cake features a delicate mung bean pastry shell with a smooth red bean paste filling, bringing two distinct bean flavors into one bite. You'll first experience the fine and dense texture of the mung bean pastry, followed by the rich aroma of black bean paste made from Pingtung red beans. The flavor gradually transitions from light and elegant to rich and mellow. Enjoying it chilled enhances its refreshing quality, making it suitable for afternoon tea, after-meal dessert, or as a Taiwanese souvenir for elders or those who appreciate traditional pastries.
