Toronto, ON (Monday, November 4, 2013)- After kicking off the first day of south-asian Diwali, Torontonians can pamper their palate with south asian inspired desserts.
Bite Bar, Toronto's premiere bite-sized dessert bar, is offering South Asian food lovers the latest fusion on traditional Indian sweets, right in time for the Diwali holiday. Inspired by the traditional box of mithai ( south Asian sweets made with sugar, milk and condensed milk gifted at special occasions), Bite Bar's Diwali themed Bite Box infuses traditional Indian flavours into gourmet bite sized cupcakes providing dessert lovers a blend of flavours and textures that are both traditional and trendy.
"First generation Indo- Canadians continue to change the ways that they celebrate traditional Indian holidays and food is one of the first things that change," says Nisha Amin-Agnihotri, founder, Bite Bar. "The younger generation still loves familiar foods and flavours from their childhoods but they're also looking for a fusion that aligns with their modern lifestyles. With family, friends and colleagues that are from various ethnic backgrounds, flavour familiarity is key. Bite Bar 's Diwali desserts in six Indian flavours combine familiar dessert flavours in bite sized cupcakes".
What: Bite Bar's South Asian Bite Box- a twist on traditional sweets for the Diwali holiday. Menu items will include:
Gulabi Bite: all the flavour of the traditional gulab jamun without the calories or mess!
