Join TAP-SF at the Presidio Tunnel Tops for a morning of tea and casual conversation.

The goal of the event is to meet and chat with different members of the Taiwanese community across the Bay. We will have picnic blankets and be rotating in groups on the main parade lawn.

Conversations will start with light-mediated prompts by TAP-SF board members and continue with casual open discussions. At around noon we’ll grab lunch and carry on the conversations!

Let’s get together for Halloween festivities with some pumpkin carving and treats! This event is cohosted by BWYA and TAP-SF and will take place outdoors atop Alum Rock (Peacock Gap Dr) overlooking downtown San Jose. If you are new to pumpkin carving, no worries, we can provide you basic instructions, but it is quite straight forward and fun!

TAP-SF is partnering with Taiwanese Chef Henry Hsu of Oramasama Dumplings to bring you a personalized dumpling making workshop! At the event, you will learn how to make two distinct types of dumplings (including the dough for the skin!), eat everything you make, and take home your own dough to make more dumplings at home (show off to your friends and family!). Come learn about the Taiwan-specific ingredients we will use as well as the history, heritage, and culture behind these dumplings while connecting with others with full hearts and stomachs.
