  • A Hot Rum Donny with Don Papa RumA Hot Rum Donny with Don Papa Rum

Top pâtissier Frank Haasnoot truly knows how to combine flavours and creativity with an eye for detail and innovation. His roots are in Rotterdam, but he mainly finds inspiration while working abroad. Through his cooperation with Philippine company Don Papa Rum, Frank discovered, among other things, that the typically ‘Dutch’ treat taaitaai, which is extremely popular during the Sinterklaas period, is not so Dutch at all. This inspired Frank to develop a premium taaitaai, with caramel based on Philippine brown rum and a crackling layer of milk chocolate. Instead of the traditional taaitaai pop, it now became Don Papa Rum Tay Tay.
