This year, Korean persimmons from the City of Changwon returned to Vancouver. And the Fuyu persimmons from Korea are juicy with a good crunch.

German Pudding Tart is recently one of the popular desserts in Asia. It is similar to HK-style egg tart, except it is 2x bigger in size.

It may look difficult, but it only requires minimal ingredients and less than 30 minutes to prepare. It is satisfying to bite into a treat with such contrasting texture.

And today, I wanted to introduce a new member of this collection: Genmaicha x Yuzu. Instead of a chiffon cake, I think pound cake is more suitable for this refreshing combination.
