Japan Trip Day 4 Tokyo, 浅草寺 Sensoji Temple, 合羽橋道具街, Tokyo SkyTree

This is second and the last day we in Tokyo. I was very excited when arrived Asakusa. It is not the first time I went to Asakusa and why am I so excited about it? The answer is I recently found out that about 10 minutes walk away from the famous Asakusa tourist spot - 浅草寺 Sensoji, there are a street full of kitchen appliance such as Baking Supply, Commercial Kitchen Supply and many other speciality store which sell specific product only like all kind of different drinking glasses.

It had been a while since I updated my blog, it doesn't mean I haven't been baking lately; actually I did keep on baking (that how I release my stress). This year had gone so fast, half is now gone and we officially step into the second half of 2015. I have been waiting for a reply from the Pastry school in Paris to get back to my about my application, to be honest I was a bit scared but life goes on and I have tried my best I have no regret.

J’aime le macaron - Matcha Macaron with Matcha Red Bean Filling

Since my 5^th trip to Japan is 5 weeks away, I start getting really excited about it and keep looking and planning what I’m going to buy or eat when I get there. I have to say I’m a big fan of Matcha (Green Tea) and red bean, anything sweet have these ingredient will immediately catch my eyes. And as you know those ingredient is also a very tradition and common in Japanese cultural. I would say no one make better confectionary than Japanese when it involve matcha and red bean, it is like a perfect match when you put them together. The bitterness of matcha neutralised the sweetness of red bean, so I thought to make a fusion style of French crossover Japanese Matcha Macaron with Matcha and Red Bean Filling.

But now finally the busy has gone and May is already here, this year have gone so quick, it already been 4 months since I started blogging and thankfully I got lot of compliment and support from everyone which is what keep me going.
