Mid Autumn Festival is happening on October 1 this year and mooncakes are a must at home. I recently posted on Instagram some pictures of her creations this year, and some of my followers have asked for a recipe. The one recipe she has perfected is a baked mooncake with custard filling. I'm happy to share this one with you.
On one of Papa Lam's days off, we took the family out to the Fraser Valley for a day of fun. One of the stops was Field House Brewing. We've had Field House's beers a number of times now, and it's often a booth we'd stop by at any beer festival, but this was our first time visiting the East Abbotsford brewery on location.
Last year, a pop-up bakery took Vancouver by the storm with a cookie made with the Asian White Rabbit candy. This summer, Chef Andrew Han turned his pop-up into a cafe. Kouign Cafe is now open in Chinatown. While I was in the area, I swung by and purchased one of everything that was available at that time. I've never bought pastries from their pop-up shop before so this would be my first time trying them.
Mama Lam and I got our hands on some fresh, local BC blueberries, so we decided to have some fun. We looked up a number of recipes, and found this pull-apart bun recipe that seemed fun and interesting. It was successful even for our first attempt. Here is the recipe after some adjustments.
Did you miss BC Blueberry Day on July 15? That means it's the start of our blueberry season. This year, if you are looking for farms to pick or buy blueberries, recipes, how-to videos of local chefs, interviews of blueberry farmers, and other blueberry festivities, check out a new online hub.
