Muffins are one treacherous food. Frosting and toppings, they mislead you into colour.
One day, like slot machine icons white Raisin, yellow Peach, brown Chocolate, gray Blueberry, green Green Tea- now that is what I call Bread Talk.
Green Tea Muffin (SGD 1.50)
Biting into the coloured carbohydrate there was a burst of tea. Not green tea; it can't be. Jasmine. Yes— the scent of an unknown midnight-blue pastry I had picked up whilst gamboling in the kitchen decades ago in a mooncake festival. I did not know I would find it in a green muffin today.
Like most industry cakes, this muffin was chewy on the inside; thinned to a dry flour at the edges intercepting with paper. Reverse-psychology, I actually craved for that more and more- salty refined sandpaper granules. And look at that, our acquianted sun-kissed grain Bravo Packaging now encompassing green carbohydrates.
P.S. I finally found out that it had been a traditional mooncake with cassia bloom That autumn festival. I will never forget it until today.
