Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and low-temperature baked to preserve its creamy ivory color, dense yet powdery texture, and mild, subtly sweet aroma. The slices feel dry and slightly chalky to the touch, a sign of good starch content. When simmered in congee or soup, they soften into a smooth, velvety consistency and release a gentle, naturally sweet flavor that blends harmoniously with other ingredients.
