Inspired by the natural structure of lotus leaves, the Lotus Leaf Roll Cake is known for its soft, pliable, and durable texture. Handcrafted and griddled to paper-thin perfection, it exudes a rich wheat aroma. Made with a low-oil and salt-free recipe, the cake offers a light mouthfeel while maintaining a simple, rustic flavor, making it the perfect companion to dishes like roast duck and crispy duck.
When enjoying roast duck, the Lotus Leaf Roll Cake is traditionally rolled with thinly sliced scallions, sweet bean paste, and duck meat, creating a classic culinary experience. The sweetness and umami of the bean paste, the subtle spiciness of the scallions, and the aroma of freshly rendered duck fat come together to deliver a flavor that is both profound and comforting. This roll cake, featured in Dadong's restaurants, has become an essential element of the dining table for its authenticity and versatility.
