And thirds.\n\nMochi Donut, Hong Kong Bakery (Booth 35, 3 tickets)\n\nGreen and surprisingly chewy, if you love mochi and deep-fried long donut, this is exactly what you need. Easily sharable as it’s almost perforated in eight sections, or maybe you can just work your way through those yourself every hour on the hour at work – just beware of making your keyboard and phone sticky!\n\nTuron, Gentea (Booth 45, 3 tickets)\n\nAlso known as Banana Lumpia, this delicious Filipino street food is basically a brown-sugar-coated plantain spring roll, deep fried to a good mix of soft and crispness with a nice syrup with coconut rice flakes that honestly had me licking the paper it was served on.

Might pop by home base in Leduc for a sit down.\n\nMango Bingsoo, Flurrries Bingsoo Cafe and More (booth 25, 4 tickets)\n\nBest of all in the heat was this refreshing, shaved coconut ice Korean concoction with just the most interesting texture, drier than ice cream.
