Green Chicken Floss


16 Nov, 2010

Past the stretches of City Square Mall, basement, a host of delectables greet you. Adorned in wood block typography is mugiya, wheat house bakery. Traditional, conventional bread slumps by its displaysill, and under the warm light, their textures are illuminated like shadows of grey glitter.



Giant pillows with needle-like pock marks, a smooth cheese glaze with pressed green shards. And this, a shapely bun in a green moss dress? The brain takes more time to adjust, than the eye in yellow light.


Wasabi C.Floss (SGD 1.50)

Lo and behold, chicken floss in this house is green! Doings of the roots of the horseradish again, making it look like some mythical creature. So, does this variant look as acceptable as it looks? The floss is iced sweet, with the slight stinging nettle of wasabi; making it taste like hot floss, just that it is more earthy of plant nature. The wasabi floss is balanced triadically with the savouriness of mayonnaise, and shearing mayonnaise's fattiness with the spiciness of wasabi. All in one bite of soft, fragrant japanese bun, the wasabi c.floss is the bolsters of seventh heaven.

P.S. The japanese has exploited before, the sweetness of wasabi as a flavour in ice cream. Similarly here, the sugar in the plant is dissected and distilled onto the strands of chicken floss, imaginatively inventive, and beautifully finished. Air-spraying the mosses green, this separates the hot floss bun from the usual chilli floss, as with its visual the wasabi taking the role of the colour.
