This October has been unexpectedly busy with a string of activities and events both at work and personal level. I was desperately needing a break from action and I finally got it from a Monday afternoon where there was no business meeting scheduled and no assignments due. Yes!
After a quick lunch in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, I ventured over to Harbour City, a place we used to visit so often during the pandemic but was rarely on our agenda in the past year or so. I was planning to enjoy a quick afternoon tea there where I suddenly bumped into Pinky Bakery's pop-up in front of City Super. In case you haven't heard of this artisan bakery like I did before, they are a specialist in bakery goods like homemade doughnuts, mochi bagels and muffins. During this current pop-up, they are showcasing some of their latest creations in the form of doughnuts.

After spending some time to decide what flavor to get, I held my doughnut firmly in my hand while I stepped outdoor to soak in the harbour view.
Black sesame doughnut – I felt like I am having a picnic here.
They have the making of a very nice black sesame doughnut here with some rich and runny black sesame paste (could be more runny if you ask me) in the middle and grated coconut sprinkled on top. The only thing missing was the texture of the dough which was more like a bread (baked) than a doughnut (fried) to me. That was the difference.
Hong Kong is such a beautiful city. I hope it continues to be beautiful.
