Here at StyleDemocracy, we love all things free — especially if what’s free is food! And this weekend on Saturday, March 16, 2019, a new Chinese-European bakery is giving away free bubble tea.

Feng Cha Tea Bakery is opening a location in Markham and to celebrate, the bakery is giving away free bubble tea to the first 100 customers at all Feng Cha locations. The bakery has another location in Scarborough.

While there are only two Feng Cha locations in the greater Toronto area so far, the tea bakery has seen major success in Asia, with over 800 stores in China. Feng Cha is most notable for pairing Euro-inspired baked goods with fresh fruit blend premium teas.

Each bread sold at Feng Cha has a tea flavour to compliment it such as the bakery’s famous Taro Cheese Bread and Sea Salt Mousse Jasmine Green Tea combo.

They suggest one of two ways to enjoy the combo: eat the bread first and then drink the tea, or put the bread in the sea salt mousse first and then try.

Also available for the Markham store’s grand opening is the unique and Instagram-worthy Bubble Tea Bun.

The bun features tea-infused dough, filled with a tea-infused cream. The look is inspired by the classic bubble tea cup and straw.

If you live in Markham and are tired of only hearing about events taking place in downtown Toronto you’ll be happy to hear that a specialized Night Market is making its way back to the Markham Civic Centre.

Night It Up! is an annual night market that takes place the second weekend in July at the Markham Civic Centre and brings together over 100 booths dishing out everything from Asian fusion food to ice cream.

If you’re on a summer diet and can’t indulge in street food, you’re not out of luck. Night It Up! will feature a variety of live performances ranging from hip-hop dance groups to a sports zone hosted by the Chinese Youth Athletic Association. Additionally, there will be movie screenings from the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival.

All on-site proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the initiatives of WE – this year’s charity benefactor.

Night It Up!

When: July 13, 7 pm to midnight | July 14, 2 pm to midnight |July 15, 2 pm to 8 pm

Last month, news broke that Pacific Mall in Markham, Ontario is one of the biggest offending retail locations when it comes to the distribution of counterfeit goods in North America.

In a press release from the mall, management said they were “deeply disturbed and disappointed” by the news. The mall’s management stated that they take compliance with the law and regulations that govern the sale of goods seriously.

In the upcoming months, Pacific Mall will be conducting an internal investigation as well as implement strict internal measures to stop imitation goods from being traded or sold.

Here is their action plan for combatting the problem:

  • Issuing written advisories and warnings to all store owners and tenants at Pacific Mall on trading or selling imitation goods, and the legal consequences of engaging in such practices
  • Requesting store owners and tenants subscribe and comply with a Code of Conduct that imposes various legal and ethical standards relating to the sale of goods
  • Partnering with manufacturers to assist in identifying imitation products
  • Commissioning a private investigator to conduct internal audits and monitor for imitation goods
  • Creating a website www.reportimitationgoods.com for consumer awareness of imitation goods

“As Pacific Mall management monitors this situation closely, it will continue to adopt various practices that will help discourage such behaviour from recurring in the future. Pacific Mall is not only one of North America’s busiest retail centres but it also acts as a unique cultural hub for Toronto and GTA residents. Moreover, Pacific Mall has been a retail attraction for millions of local and international tourists. We hope to reaffirm the public’s confidence in Pacific Mall as a place where consumers and families can find a wide array of cultural opportunities and products at great value. ”
