There’s no doubt that we Asians love to eat! Even though we might be full from a delicious meal, there’s always room for desserts. Other than the classic western flavours such as Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry, many also favour Asian flavours such as Red Bean, Green Tea, Tapioca, Pandan, Mango and Taro!
Taro (also known as Yam) is a popular dessert flavour choice among many Asians, due to the natural sweetness to it. However, it’s not for everyone. Foodies and adventurous individuals, here are 4 must-try dessert shops in the Klang Valley that offer Taro flavoured treats that would make you crave more!
1. Bake it Batter Bakery
The Taro Sponge Cake is one of the top-selling choices for Bake it Batter Bakery. The cake has a beautifully layered cross-section with cream and Taro paste which gives it a blueish-purple hue.

2. KAKIYUKI
KAKIYUKI is a popular establishment in the Klang Valley that focuses on serving refreshing treats which are made from ice. The establishment provides Asian flavoured treats and one of their best selling desserts would be the Taro Roll Cake.
