Crunchy Mochi Donuts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

O-Mochi's Tanghulu Mochi Donut Has a Hard Candy Coating

— August 26, 2024 — Lifestyle
The growing popularity of tanghulu inspired O-Mochi to create a first-of-its-kind tanghulu mochi donut that captures the essence of this fruity, sweet, and crunchy treat, and perfectly blends indulgence with the irresistible tang of the original.

At the 2024 CNE, tanghulu—a Chinese dessert made by dipping skewered fruit into a sugary, candy coating—can be savored in a new format at O-Mochi's booth. Touted as the world's first tanghulu mochi donut, this crunchy creation pairs real, fresh fruits with a texture-rich hard candy sugar coating for a multi-textured eating experience.

Although the tanghulu mochi donut is only available for a limited time at the fair, other options are on the menu from O-Mochi at the Canadian National Exhibition, like the Sweet or Spicy Mochi Funnel Cake.
Trend Themes
1. Tanghulu Fusion Desserts - Blending traditional Chinese confections with modern dessert formats introduces novel, multi-textured treats that cater to adventurous palates.
2. Multi-textured Confections - Creating desserts that combine various textures, like the hard candy shell and soft mochi interior, drives sensory experiences that appeal to a broader audience.
3. Limited-time Fair Foods - Offering exclusive, innovative treats at events generates excitement and exclusivity, drawing crowds and media attention.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Exploring the fusion of traditional and contemporary flavors and textures opens new avenues for unique product development.
2. Event Catering - Designing exclusive, buzzworthy food options specifically for events can boost attendance and create memorable experiences.
3. Confectionery - Innovating with hybrid desserts that merge different confectionery traditions and textures can capture niche markets and expand product lines.
