Another stop of my Hot Chocolate Festival quest this year is Honolulu Coffee. I had a media preview of their two creations at the downtown Nelson location.

High tea these days is so expensive! Most places are now charging at least $50 per person, and that’s considered “affordable.” I cringed when some afternoon tea menus are priced at $60 or more and that just feels like a lot of money to me. So when my friend CC told me about this $70 tea set at Tsujiri, I naturally assumed it’s $70 per person. But no, it’s $70 for two!! Can it be too good to be true?!

As we spend more time at home, Mama Lam is trying different recipes to keep ourselves entertained. We found this Korean style baked mochi ball recipe online and tested it out. The recipe is very easy to make and suitable to involve kids.
In a nutshell, the dry ingredients make up the flavours while the wet ingredients bind them together. We tried it with 4 flavour variations and made some adjustments based on our experience. The steps are the same regardless of the flavours.

Last month, Mama Lam made some nougats. It’s good but it’s a bit boring, so she found a recipe to take it up a notch. It’s called Nougat Puff. It’s essentially nougat with the addition of crunchy crackers. We’ve made a few batches now and each time it has turned out well.
