Fossa Xing Ren Hu Bar, 50g

Fossa is Singapore’s first, and award winning bean to bar chocolate maker. Their unique bars feature ethically sourced ingredients, and subtle, nuanced flavors that draw on the rich agricultural and culinary traditions of the region.

Xing Ren Hu, also known as Chinese almond cream, is a delicate and silky traditional dessert first brought to Singapore by Teochew immigrants. Made with apricot kernel, rice, sugar and water, this smooth, ivory-hued paste offers a subtly nutty aroma with a lightly floral undertone.

In this bar, they toasted apricot kernel and grounded aromatic Jasmine rice for a smooth texture with a marzipan aroma. Bits of roughly chopped apricot kernel adds a playful crunch.
