Edible Crystals (Kohakutou)

Edible crystals, or kohakutou, is a Japanese candy made from agar agar. Besides looking like real jewels, what makes these crystal candies so special is the texture — they have a crisp exterior shell while the interior of the candies are soft and jelly-like. The candies are a great blank canvas for any flavouring or colours of your choice. Because the base of these gummies is agar agar, these edible crystals are vegan!

Cookie Butter Taiyaki (Fish-Shaped Waffle)

A taiyaki is a fish-shaped waffle that's usually filled with sweetened red beans, though custard, cheese, and sweet potato fillings are also commonly found. Cookie butter is actually a perfect filling for taiyaki — it's sweet, has a great consistency, and most importantly tastes like nostalgia, which is exactly what I want to experience when eating a taiyaki.

Grilled Chewy Rice Cake (燒餅)

These rice cakes only have two Chinese characters for its description, 燒餅, and the best translation for it would be 'grilled rice cake.' What the simplicity of the name doesn't tell you unfortunately is what truly makes these grilled rice cakes so special – it uses glutinous rice flour instead of regular rice flour, which produces a mochi-like texture. Grilling or frying these mochi-like cakes give them an extra layer of flavour and texture compared to traditional steamed mochi.

Hi, I’m Amy.

I grew up eating lots of Asian desserts treats. Sharing mochi, steamed cakes, grass jelly, and many types of dessert soups with my family defined my childhood. Eventually I drifted away from what I deemed at the time “simple desserts” and preferred layered cakes and buttery pastry instead. It wasn’t until recently that I rekindled my love and fascination of Asian desserts and now it’s a really big part of what I make. I will always find a way to sneak matcha into a cookie, stuff cream puffs with boba pearls, and have my take on traditional moon cakes. The most popular recipe on the blog is the Matcha Neapolitan Cookie, and I think it best defines me and my blog — taking the classic combination of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla Neapolitan and giving it a twist with matcha.
