Experience the essence of AANHPI desserts at Lan Su Chinese Garden’s Bu-Tai-Tian Dessert Nights, taking place from 7-9 p.m. on June 14 and 15. This unique event is dedicated to showcasing the rich flavors of Asian-American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander cultures.
Bu-Tai-Tian, meaning “Not Too Sweet” in Chinese, serves as the perfect name for this dessert festival, celebrating the subtle and balanced sweetness that defines many traditional AANHPI desserts. Guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a variety of treats, from the delicate mochi of Japan to the refreshing shave ice of Hawaii and the decadent halo-halo of the Philippines. The festival features ten vendors, each dedicated to honoring and celebrating the diverse heritage of AANHPI desserts, and ticket holders can enjoy free tastings from all participating vendors.
“Food is a powerful way to share culture and promote connectivity,” said Venus Sun, Vice President of Culture and Community. “We are excited to launch this dessert festival for the first time, gather in the community, and provide a platform for local AANHPI vendors.”
Join the festivities at Lan Su Chinese Garden and embark on a delightful culinary journey that highlights the intricate flavors and rich cultural traditions of AANHPI communities.
