About Aruna:
"Aruna is from Inner Mongolia. She rides a motorcycle, runs a roadside cafe, bakes, and runs a restaurant. She is a free-spirited, kind, enthusiastic, innocent, and independent young woman. When you see her at work, her energy, focus, and enthusiasm are contagious. Guests often call her 'aruna who can do it all.' She drives a white camper van. Activities she leads: flower cake baking, camping, river tracing, light hiking in Cangshan, rural exploration in Eryuan, and Huoshan. She independently runs her own cafe: Zayaa Camping Cafe and B&B. She speaks Mongolian and English."
"It's not just about the bagel-making experience, but also a small trip to the Dali village, which is Aruna's studio and cafe as well as her home. She collected many specimens of plants, mosses, mushrooms during her camping and travels in Yunnan. Some are from the rainforests on the China-Myanmar border, and some are from the Jinsha and Nu rivers. Her interest in understanding and collecting plants is a personal interest."
“Baguer Making Experience:
Duration: 2-2.5 hours, makes eight bagels in two flavours, then DIY sandwiches.
I first learned to make bread to work with a coffee cart, but I didn’t expect to do it for four years. Having homemade bread at home gives me a sense of security, and I can eat one when I’m hungry. Later, I found that many people wanted to try making bread, but were troubled by problems such as equipment procurement and material preparation. Some people even thought that roasting chicken wings was easier. ”
"When making bread, I enjoy the quiet moments the most. I weigh the ingredients by gram, knead the dough, add fillings according to my personal preferences, shape and release the air, and then roll it out with force. The dough in my hands hissing and then takes on a new shape. From sifting the flour to baking it and putting it in my mouth, I enjoy the bread I made myself."
