If only life was really simple? But then again that would be no fun. This bakery was right across the street from where I stayed in Hong Kong. It was a bakery and cafe but I only tried their breads. The shop was really elegant and cozy. I think they specialize in croissants because I saw a lot of different types...

Below is a chestnut creme croissant. It was really amazing. yum yum yum.
What was even more amazing was the strawberries and creme croissant pastry. Damn how do they make it so fluffy and crunch and creamy and sweet and tart all in one bite? Its one of God's many blessings.
Oh how I wish these types of bakeries would open up in irvine? :)

Learning some motherly skills

So after visiting my great aunt in HK, I learned how to make postickers strictly from scratch, even the skin! We spent the whole day making potstickers! The process includes:

1) Making the dough

2) Flattening them into small circles

3) Putting the stuffing inside and folding the dumplings

4) Frying them until cooked

5) ENJOYING ALL YOUR HARD WORK!

I'm sure this skill will come handy one day when I have kids. Even if I make it half as good as my great aunt I'll be happy! :D

In celebration of my greataunt's birthday, we also had crab for dinner. This type of crab I've never had in the states before. It's a lot smaller, and REALLY REALLY fresh. All we did was steam them until they were cooked, you don't even need any sauce. Just the authentic crab taste was more then enough. So delicious.

Sisterly love :)

Even though this was months ago, Happy Birthday again Guu Po! Thinking of you!
