Matcha White Chocolate Fudge with Red Bean filling

Match or Green tea is an acquired taste. At least that was the case for me! I absolutely hated it about 5 yrs back ,used to wonder how people can eat this weird green colour tea, that too flavor your cakes and bakes with that!! My liking started with Green tea ice creams and mochi, slowly moved on to cakes, cheese cakes, chocolates and now I am absolutely addicted!

I am soo glad I am born after Green tea was discovered..how would I have lived without it!!!

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!
