Calling all dessert lovers! 🍰 In this mouthwatering episode of Taste Test, hosts Rachel Weiss and Wendyl Martin took a delicious dive into the sweet worlds of Chinese and French pastries. From flaky mooncakes to buttery croissants, they explored how centuries of tradition shape these iconic treats.

Weiss noted: \"French desserts often celebrate simplicity, while Chinese sweets tell stories through symbolic shapes.\" Martin added: \"Both cultures turn pastry-making into art—one bite feels like traveling through time!\"
Sweet Diplomacy 🕊️🍯
While the hosts debated texture preferences (team crispy vs team sticky), they agreed: pastries bridge cultures better than any textbook. Weiss joked: \"If world leaders exchanged egg tarts instead of memos, we’d have world peace!\"
