When Thu was a little girl, riding on the back of her father’s motorbike on her way to school, there would be countless delights for sale at every red light. One in particular always caught her eyes - fruit-shaped mung bean desserts, shaped by hand and painted to look like tiny fruit jewels. Having photographed these for various magazines, she is excited to offer her own version of them for New York City: a tasting flight of these handmade beauties filled with fruit flavorings.

Every event features some traditional edible art to bring these traditional treats off the pages of history and onto our plates.
