Disney is celebrating the Lunar New Year [1] with an expansive celebration featuring parades, a nighttime water show, and various activities. Only at Disney California Adventure, the celebration also includes different food stands with Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese cuisine. Among the many specialty menu items [2], Disney introduced a brand-new macaron flavour that sounds so damn delicious.

At a marketplace in front of the Golden Zephyr ride [3], visitors can enjoy a Bánh Khoai Lang Tím, or purple sweet potato macaron. The popular ingredient — also known as ube [4] — has recently been used in a lot of trendy desserts due to its creamy consistency and eye-catching colour.

Apart from looking cool, the macaron has gotten positive reviews on Instagram, where one Disney blogger described it [5] as the "perfect finish to a meal." They added, "The purple yam flavour satisfies the sweet tooth while not being overly sweet, which I love." The macaron will be available for the duration of the Lunar New Year celebration from Jan. 26 to Feb. 18. Enjoy pictures of it ahead.
