… Baked Lemon Tarts – my picnic treat …

We had a 5-day long weekend in the beginning April! Hey 5 days is like the length of a normal work week (for the majority of us :P) Unlike May when the weather was either super hot or super miserable, there weather was nice and sunny throughout the Easter long weekend 🙂

I am glad that mr. iron man and I decided to go picnic in Tap Mun (a.k.a Grass Island) on Easter Monday, taking our time to enjoy and appreciate the creation God and spent some time reflecting on what we’d learned at church camp.

  

Tap Mun is an outer island located in the North of Sai Kung East Country Park, it’s a bit far to travel to but it’s definitely a place worth visiting! We took bus 94 from Sai Kung bus terminus to Wong Shek Pier bus terminus, then took the ferry to Tap Mun from Wong Shek (on our way back we took the ‘kai to’ (街渡), which was faster but more expensive compared to the ferry)

The day before, we each prepared some picnic food. He made a Caprese salad (tomato with buffalo mozzarella) and some smoked salmon sandwiches. I made some small lemon tarts and used the half the pastry to make some spinach and mushroom tarts 😀 We also bought a small bottle of Jacob’s Creek pink sparkling wine to chill down and sip!

I came up with the idea of making these little tarts because I came across this video of a Taiwanese food blogger Durant 郭昱均. I particularly like baked lemon tarts, as I think the baked ones are more fragrant than lemon curd tarts.
