Asian Inspired Spring

A Delicious Bite

My Asian Inspired Spring Wagashi

Wagashi refers more towards Japanese Sweet Treats, that is what I have here.

I tried to find a tablecloth that would accent what I had featured here, I couldn’t, but I did find some wrapping paper that I thought looked great!  It did!  And that is what you see here, wrapping paper as my tablecloth.

I wanted to put together a table full of Sweet Asian Inspired Treats.  That was actually easy to do. 

I love my usual Asian Inspired Treats and I wanted to showcase them here.

I am a huge fan of the softly dried Mango in the shape of a flower.  It is so delicious!  It comes with an excellent spicy chili salt.  I can very easily unravel one while eating a few layers at a time.  I also thought they would be great placing something nice onto each ‘petal.’

Here, I added some plain Hummus to some of the Mango Petals.  I have two different Hummus here.  One plain, and one a carrot.  I also sprinkled some Butterfly Pea Flower onto each bowl of Hummus.  It is an excellent edible flower.
