Happy 5 years to Delight Pastry🎂✨
We finally tried their viral fruit desserts and now I totally get the hype🍓🥭 The strawberry + mango were so fresh, light, and refreshing.
But honestly… this place is dangerous because EVERYTHING looks good😍 From buttery croissants and fruit tarts to cakes, macarons, gelato, and even their lunch menu👀 We tried the Caprese Sandwich and it was the perfect savory break between all the sweets🥪✨
Definitely one of those Pasadena spots you walk into “just to look” and somehow leave with a full box of pastries🥰
Thank you for having me @delightpastryca

Day 5 in Taipei last November felt like the perfect ending to the Taiwan leg of our Asia trip🥹🇹🇼
One last stop at Yong Kang Street because honestly… the street food cravings were NOT leaving without us 🌯✨ Then we finally tried Japan’s famous omurice spot Ikura — their first Taiwan location and yes… the fluffy egg hype is REAL🍳☁️
Spent the afternoon wandering through Di Hua Street again with a little coffee break in between before heading to Datong District to explore temples like the beautiful Confucius Temple⛩️
And to end the night… an unforgettable dinner at Logy — a 2 Michelin star experience where every single dish felt like edible art🎨🍽️
Taipei really gave us the perfect mix of street food, culture, coffee walks, and fine dining all in one trip
