Drizzling
The light here turns rose-tinted, and the food themselves, soaked in sap green. The atmosphere becomes phantasmagoric, out of a medieval rpg or a virtual encyclopedia.
Green bread! To collect all of them throughout the journey. (We will need their help later on).
For the bread and green breads, they are found in 3 different kinds at green pumpkin. The anpan, a japanese sweet bun, dragon roll, a circle of twisted bread, and matcha (green tea) loaf.
Matcha Koshi Anpan (Left) and Matcha Tsubu Anpan (SGD 1.20 ea)
Intergalactic stars. Opposites of each other. Shade bewitching the sesame seeds out of each bun, making them look a little too numerous and teetering. Yet this is nothing when you think of a hamburger, sesame seeds on a toasted bun, remember?
The fine bean paste (left) and chunky red bean paste right. Smooth and sweet, encrusted in a fragrant soft bun, the fine red bean anpan feels like non-sticky jam. The chunky red bean anpan holds what you call crunchy peanut butter, where you get red bean husks also in the mash.
Sakura Anpan (SGD1.40)
Slapped adroitly with a salted sakura flower on top, this was how anpan looked like and spread around japan. Ham-alert, anybody? Well no, the pinkish crown is actually paste of white adzuki and sakura. Similar in taste and texture to the sakura mops of the new taiyaki, sakura mochi flavour. Beany, but bitten sharply with a saucy sweetness, that's what the pretty pink mass tastes like.
P.S. Sakura, the name of the tree itself. More specifically, its cherry blossom, the name of the pink flowers. Extract of a flower, something so pure and symbolizing life, heinous to ingest it?
