I finally baked the cinnamon bun pie! I’ve been eyeing the recipe in the Momofuku Milk Bar book, waiting for the right time for this giant pie stuffed full of liquid cheesecake and cinnamon sugar layers.
This past Saturday, Yeji and Eric invited Taurin and me to their lovely home for brunch.
As we walked in, we were greeted by a welcome message and the brunch menu!
I loved spreading ripe avocados and cream cheese on sesame toast with a side of lightly runny eggs. We ate all the bacon and butternut squash salad before going out to the park.
The crumble topping was really good. Next time, I’ll use a bigger pie pan, because the pie turned out huge.
Sunday was the long-awaited Brooklyn Zine Fest in Williamsburg.
Zine of the Month table had so much eye candy, and Mark made me want to visit Philly!
I didn’t notice this when I snapped this photo, but I spot Jannese’s yellow backpack!
Cotton candy break at the park with Chris and Eugenia.
Jacob invited us to drink tea with his friend Johnny, who has studied the art of tea for many years and now lives in a beautifully restored Brooklyn home. It was a perfect late afternoon for tea time.
Johnny making a big bowl of thick matcha (濃茶).
Bitter sweet kuding tea (苦丁茶), said to have many healing properties.
And finally, another beautiful Brooklyn sunset from the roof.

April 19, 2012 at 11:06 amWhat a coincidence! I was just going to make the Cinnamon Bun Pie! I got the Momofuku Milk Bar book from the library a few days ago and that pe just cuaght me eye. It looks delicious! 🙂 Did you enjoy it? I’m kind of worried that it might taste like a cheesecake and I’m not a fan of cheesecake. Was it kind of like a gooey pie or was it kind of like a slice of cake? I cannot wait to make it! 🙂
