THE TARO LACE BATTER MOCHI DONUT. Meet the first pastry on our new @papadamournyc, opening in few weeks here in NYC. I’ve always been fascinated by dim sum traditions and my favorite is always the taro puff. Our version has chewy soft vanilla mochi and strawberry guava jam, surrounded by that creamy taro. There’s a special technique to achieving those flaky crispy layers that shatter with each bite (a few chef friends of mine with Chinese restaurants in the city told me it’s too much work and not to attempt it) - but I was up for the challenge. All at once creamy, crispy, chewy, and flaky - I can’t wait for you all to try it soon at 64 University Place. Stay tuned for more menu reveals, and we’ll be announcing our opening date soon. #papadamour
