Green Cream Biscuits

Cloudy


Nothing gets better when familiar, simple food formulas such as a tiny biscuit shell with cream centre gets tweaked, by sister brands.
Hey look, one never noticed Buzz had a mole/hair on his chin.

And now, fortunately, there is still green (somewhere, to save the day). Familiar texture of the Meiji biscuits with a sweet, nectarean centre. Honeydew's nectar, or melon, if you insist, patriotic to what the label wrote. However with further chewing and munching, somehow the melon/honeydew becomes less prominent and harmonious, something like what vanilla or strawberry transforms, on Meiji and all foods. Suddenly you remember that strawberry is a fruit, just like what a melon is, (just that we got used to the strawberry first).

P.S. So there is nothing wrong with melon. And to some foods like this one, though not all of it has turned green with eating (i.e. biting them to show a green cross section), yet it is reassuring to know they will be a green when in the stomach.




Black Olive Crackers


Cloudy

In the most sensible-looking box, black, with safe legible fonts, it looks alright like any other. However as one encounters it a couple more times, the stacks get fishy and more dubious, biscuits of bizarre-looking colour. And to cross-refer with textual evidence, yes, they are actually black olive crackers.


Mondovino Morrocan Black Olive Crackers (SGD 5.50)

Made with extra virgin olive oil. One's eyes draw into the window of crackers, realizing it is actually a containment of a glass bottle. The background is a bed of hand-drawn olives. Suddenly, one becomes less ignorant. The {black olive}s made from extra-virgin olive oil, (just like pasta made from extra-virgin olive oil; fried chicken made from extra-virgin olive oil), olive oil's made from these crackers in the 1st place- the black olive!


Which explains the beauty of these black head-turners, crackers (black olives) made from their own oil- the olive oil! There are chopped olives and olive puree inside these crackers, making them arguably black, as we cannot talk ourselves out that black-olives should be a separate term.


Standing-out on the plates in their complexions, their texture is earthy like thick, chunky tofu. However an invigorating flavour of wine comes to you later defining the olives, together with the stinging nettles of seasalt. This is the most natural flavour I have ever tasted for crackers.

P.S. Not many things in this world is black. But sometimes, under the fall of the text, I can{so well}be convinced.
