While Suzhou is renowned for its historic waterways and traditional whitewashed buildings, the city also has a modern vibrant side that's attracting creative international talent. Among the city's new arrivals is David Alves, an award-winning French pastry chef from Lille who has brought a taste of Europe to Suzhou with his bakery, Tres TenTant. One of David's signature desserts, matcha bow cake, exemplifies the merging of French pastry techniques and Chinese inspiration. The cake's design mimics the tiled roofs of Suzhou's historic architecture.
