Asian-Inspired

When I first started my baking journey, making Asian-inspired treats was never my priority. I grew up eating mochi and mooncakes, so why would I want to make them. I’ve also always though that these treats were not as “fancy” and not things you would see at fancy bakeshops and patisseries. Fast forward a few years, my nostalgia for the sweets I ate growing up has increased tenfold and more importantly, I realized that a dessert doesn’t need to be many layers of genoise, buttercream, pastry to be “fancy” and delicious. Asian treats are some of my favourite things to make and eat it now and I’m so excited to share my take on the sweets I ate growing up. I love the Easy Sugared (Tanghulu-style) Strawberries, White Rabbit Candy Cupcakes, and this box of Chinese New Year Cookies. In the last 2 – 3 years, I’ve been working hard on perfect my mooncakes and these are my favourite ones so far: Kabocha Salted Egg Yolk Mooncakes with Sago Pearls.

✨🏮 lantern festival 🏮✨ marks the last da ✨🏮 lantern festival 🏮✨ marks the last day of chinese new year and one of the best parts about the festival is eating tong yuen (glutinous rice balls). instead of serving traditional sesame-filled glutinous rice balls this year, i am adding homemade taro and yam glutinous rice balls into one of my favourite traditional chinese dessert soups, 芋頭西米露 (taro and sago pearls in coconut milk). i shaped my taro and yam glutinous rice ball dough into hearts and stars because family is an important theme during chinese new year and serving heart-shaped tong yuen to my family is extra meaningful to me. to those that celebrate chinese and lunar new year, i hope you had a wonderful and safe celebration this year and may year of the ox bring you and your loved ones so much happiness. recipe is on the blog — link in the biooooo!
