The currently popular "dirty chocolate bread" (脏脏包) rose to fame in Korea before becoming a trend in cities like Shanghai and Beijing, as well as a favorite topic among internet celebrities. This bread, coated with chocolate syrup and generously dusted with cocoa powder, leaves your mouth covered in cocoa and chocolate after just one bite — sometimes even smudging your clothes with its dark, messy appearance. Many find the "dirty chocolate bread" creative and deeply satisfying with its rich chocolate flavor, which is why it quickly became a viral sensation online. Now, you don’t have to travel abroad to try this fun treat — it’s available in Taiwan too!

The dirty chocolate bread was first launched by the stylish Korean-style bakery café Our Bakery, later inspiring bakeries in Shanghai, Beijing, and elsewhere to follow suit, sparking a craze for trying the bread. Not only did people rush to post their "dirty photos" showing mouths and hands covered in chocolate after eating it, but celebrities like Tanya Chua and Rene Liu also shared pictures and live-streamed themselves enjoying the bread. Now, Taiwan’s semeur圣娜 has joined the "dirty" trend with a brand-new creation called “Dirty Smile” (“脏嘻嘻”), set to launch on February 9 at six major locations: Nangang, City Hall, Xinyi, North Station, Station Front, and North Xindian. With a daily limit of fewer than 100 pieces, they’re in high demand.

Dirty Smile uses Danish bread, with a first layer of French cocoa Barry cocoa powder, a second layer of Belgian Callebaut 70.5% chocolate syrup, and a third inner filling made from French cocoa Barry chocolate sticks. Its overall taste is bittersweet, expected to be a hit among chocolate-loving dessert fans.
