[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] McDonald's announced on the 21st that it will launch the popular dessert "Taro Pie," which customers have been eagerly requesting, for the first time in Korea on the 24th.
McDonald's Taro Pie, first introduced overseas in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Hawaii, is a dessert that has captivated countless customers with its crispy pie crust filled with sweet and creamy light purple taro cream, offering a harmonious taste and texture. Taro is a stem plant that grows in tropical regions, characterized by its soft and sweet flavor, and is popular as an ingredient in desserts and beverages such as taro tea.
McDonald's Taro Pie has gained a reputation among overseas travelers as a unique menu item that must be tried locally during trips abroad, sparking hot reactions online and on social media with comments like "Urgent introduction to Korea needed" and "Please sell this," leading to overwhelming customer requests for its sale. In response to these customer demands, McDonald's will introduce the authentic local taste enjoyed overseas to the domestic market.
The Taro Pie will be released as part of the "Land of Happiness Menu," offering a happy price all day long, allowing customers to enjoy it at an affordable price of 1,000 won. It will be available for a limited time from the 24th until the 4th of next month.
