Made with fresh mandarin oranges and real orange peel, the Mandarin Rice Pudding Danish (RM15.90) is a fragrant pastry that is a must-try for mandarin lovers. Encased within a buttery and flaky crust, filled with creamy tangerine mixture, the danish delivers a perfect balance of citrusy sweetness and rich texture.

CNY isn’t truly CNY without salted egg and chicken floss on the table, and Lacher Patisserie perfectly combines both elements into one irresistible pastry with their Salted Egg Chicken Floss (RM13).

It’s a yin-and-yang fusion of savoury and sweet, featuring a rich salted egg sauce infused with curry leaves, garlic, and chilli padi and paired with fluffy chicken floss for a contrast.

Another festive highlight from Lacher Patisserie this year is their take on Nian Gao (RM16). Think traditional Nian Gao sandwiched between sweet potato and yam, but wrapped in a buttery, flaky pastry that pulls apart beautifully to reveal a soft, mochi-like centre.

To keep things exclusive, both CNY specials are available only in-store or via pick-up from their stores.

Flavour-wise, the clementine cake features a refreshing and citrusy blend of passion fruit and mandarin, while the zesty pomelo cakes highlight the natural sweetness of, you guessed it, pomelo and grapefruit.
