Matcha /Green tea Cupcake with Red bean Filling

Back to blogosphere after another long breakJ

After settling my work related stuff in Shenzhen, we travelled around Guangzhou a bit.I have to admit I had a tough time finding vegetarian Chinese foodL

12 days in China, I could eat Chinese food for only 1 meal. Rest of the days I ate all cuisines Italian, western, Japanese, Mexican..basically everything except Authentic Chinese food!!

I managed to go the infamous toilet restaurant as well. After reading the reviews and seeing the funny pics, I just had to go there!But once I saw the menu and the toilet seats and not to mention the items on tables around I was taken back…a lot!

I chose to stick just to the dessert and a drink. To be honest, that itself was bit too Argghhhh for me.

Here are few picksJ

If I managed to disgust you enough! Let me come back to Matcha Cup cakes!

The fluffy ,moist and Green tea cupcakes is one of the best cupcakes I made till date!
