Reflecting on a Year of Good Food and Great Company

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Experience highlights

The details to look out for in Zen’s experience.

• Brown sugar boba milk tea topped with thick cream
• Plated crepes with fresh strawberries, fruit sauce, cream, and vanilla ice cream
• Park picnic spread with cheeses, olives, vegetable sticks, dips, and bread
• Outdoor breakfast spread featuring poached eggs, bacon, mushrooms, fruit, juices, and tea

Sweet Treats and Casual Bites

Sweet stops made a regular appearance throughout the year. Standout visual treats included waffle cones layered with purple and cookies-and-cream ice cream rimmed in bright sprinkles, as well as cups of brown sugar boba milk tea crowned with thick cream. Dessert visits varied from quick cups of gelato held in front of the Juliette's display case to plated crepes garnished with fresh sliced strawberries, fruit sauce, cream, and vanilla ice cream. Elegant dark-plated desserts layered with crumbs, microgreens, and delicate pink garnishes added a refined touch.

Savoury choices kept things relaxed and satisfying. Juicy burgers skewered with wooden sticks arrived alongside loaded fries, while other stops delivered burgers and french fries served in paper-lined trays next to cups decorated with soft pink leaf graphics.

Gathering Outdoors for Shared Spreads

Some of the most peaceful moments took place outside in the open air. A classic park picnic laid out on a checkered blanket featured cheeses, olives, sliced cucumber, carrot sticks, savoury dips, and sliced bread for an easy afternoon in the sun.

Larger gatherings featured extensive charcuterie boards loaded with cured meats, cheeses, and crusty bread, paired with a bottled beverage resting in an ice bucket. Mornings under the sky were just as inviting, captured in a full breakfast spread of poached eggs, crisp bacon, mushrooms, fresh fruit, juices, and hot tea enjoyed in the morning light.
