Green tea lotus tau sar piah that comes in matching green sesame seeds!
Green Tea Lotus (SGD 0.90 each)
Dusty as it is; crispy, baked a biscuit confectionery. The crux lies in its oxymoronic nature- the more authentic, traditional buttery whiffs encased the more note-worthy it becomes; even if in a little sprinkle of green seeds articulating its new twist with green tea and lotus. You almost forget you are eating tau sar piahs, uncannily adding this item to your list on the next purchase of tau sar piahs.
P.S. Biased as I am, this biscuit is flaky without crumbly, fragrant without greasy; crust existent without stuffing the mouth. Filling wise green tea is an excellent knead, coffee an aromatic brew, penang and salty double-prong on sweet and savoury; only red bean lethargic bent on sugar for flavour.
Biased as I am, old-school containers packed and sold commercially is crumbly without flaky, greasy with delectability, crust cloying with substantiation in the mouth. Filling wise green bean is a smokey seduction with shallots.
