What The Melon- Watermelon flavoured mochi skewers


Night


A new pink. The nouveau. Offbeaten yet amazingly fitting the bill, of {red + white}= pink shades. At Ion Orchard, there is this stall which sells japanese confectionery, each so lacquered and elaborate it looks like a mini modeling clay showdown. The white mochi balls entice you to bite them, like tapioca pearls.

The dango, japanese rice balls on a stick. There is also daifuku, japanese treat wrapped in a mochi skin. The thing about them dumplings is, the flavours here can go crazy, pastes milled from all kinds of species.

Watermelon Paste (SGD 3.00)

It's no more peaches. No more strawberries, ichigo. Sort of caught off-handed in this fleshly, tropical fruit. Its potential to whip up a fierce peach-pink. Once again like the strawberries reminder that watermelon is red; only with the incorporation of milk, eggs(and white) or gluten that it mixes into pink. The watermelon paste atop the dango, (no redbean blacksesame) paste, it has that fruity fragrance of saccharine sweetness that is sandy and a melt-in-the mouth-texture. And the dango was firm, extremely chewy and delectable to the tongue. The black sesame seeds are to recreate a picture of the watermelon {seeds}

P.S. The De'light sticks. [At Earth Hour.]

Honey (rockets) - to infinity and beyond

Cloudy

What we know of the Honey Stars (probably your most favorite cereal), is now injecting inventiveness with a mutant shape. So will the shape now replace Honey (Stars); eradicating it, or will it be interspersed with the stars?


Nestle Honey Stars

Not the dysfunctional, sickle-shaped, but the two rotund prongs delineating the model of a rocket. Rocket; the protagonist, blasting the astronauts around, stars; the background, the backdrop you see in outer space.


P.S. Rocket, somehow it is just two forks of (the) star, a 2/3 (Honey Star); that's all. With a pierce in the middle. From the same mould, somehow cut short, the development process. Difference in looks, different in taste! The new Honey Stars with rockets has improved recipe and taste, it is no longer saccharine-sweet as the yesteryears; mildly, maltly barley-like with a crunch like grains.

The Asses- S for Strawberry


Cloudy

Restricted time only, a glimpse of the reined, thrill. When its the silky urbane confectionery Couque D'asses; worth exploring for for its texture and interior, now that it has called for a change in décor.


Sanritsu Kukku Dasse Ichigo

White chocolate, or the "s" in a brown shade. The langue de chat cookies in bars of cat tongue shapes made novel by the japanese's commentary on the french almost became a license in itself, like the Oreos or Mars bars. With its ultra sleek packaging, it is a catchable brand amongst the other cookie companies, now compelling to know why it wanted to melt that s into pink.


An even more lofty look, etching the season of ichigo. A harmony of the weak and tough, when it is a blend of strawberry chocolate.

P.S. French classic, the compressed version of a financier, or an imitation of it. Buttery and salty and equally hard on the vanilla glaze, it is lighter and more easily snapped like honeycomb. The filling is runny chocolate, strawberry flavour and sweet-smelling like flowers, to be hallowed as a financier-in-a-biscuit.


Macarons in Milkshake - McDonald's Macaron Frappe


Night

What is a frappe? Frappe is ice-blended coffee, with dashes of milk and sugar. Unanticipatedly sprouting up at McCafé, there should be something wrong about it; the milkshake (brown/pink) realm of it is actually blood of macaron, or debris of macaron.


Strawberry Macaron Frappé and Chocolate Macaron Frappé (SGD 4.95 ea)

A blender can perform anything, from Hershey to virus to oreo, so why not in the package of a macaron? The details of a macaron, and the justification of it adding to milkshake. Crisp meringue shell, the sugar for the frappe, the chewy interiors, the flavour of the frappe, and the cream layer between the macaron patties? Probably added glitz, like jelly in my milkshake.

P.S. The taste is really, unique. It is tongue-sharpenly sweet, with an exotic fragrance due to the macaron. There are icing sugar shards within the extreme creaminess, probably the quintessential when macaron meets milkshake. Graham, cakes, yes; so far one hasn't fiction how a macaron burger will be like when blended in milk. The thing about chocolate and strawberry is, the chocolate more indulgent and the strawberry has puree, but is that a parallel comparison between a chocolate macaron and a strawberry macaron, the discrepancy and misdiscrepancy of it just got one thinking.

P.P.S. Curry sauce, apple pie, Filet-O-Fish, this, Double Cheeseburger, McChicken, this, what has happened to you, franchise?

(Pink) of Health- pink binding noodles


Cloudy

Looks like its finally back to some make-and-fix, throwing a couple of ingredients here and there, like potpourri and whatever that is available upon standing.


(SGD Homemade)

No not really. Just that it looks like some pig trotter's vermicelli or vermicelli you serve up for longevity, on an erratic occasion when this (one) thing is added to the noodles; roots of the red- beets.

P.S. Roots, stem, flower, fruit, leaves. Things you have to eat to touch on the completeness of the day.

Questions, posted to one


In commemoration of the tree that is central to nine worlds, extending to the heavens, spring and well, here are some questions that have been building, specially for One.

Why green colour?
Green is the most natural colour; and piquant in it eliciting petrification in us, sometimes when we encounter it. Trying to deal with the psychology.

Why black?
Sigh. Need to get back to that day, again. It was just when {all of a sudden} taking sight on the colour black, and after that wanting make a memoir of it. And food became the nucleus.

Why pink?
Pink is a shallow colour, just wanting to flirt with it.

Why not any other colour, like orange?
Nice to see, but not really nice to eat. It is just round-abouts, carbohydrates to sugar to some inconspicuous element of the food. Not really having a backbone, like sakura (pink); a strong ambassador for the colour. Probably haven't found it yet.

Why not blue colour?
There is no reason for no blue, just that no reason for blue.

How about red?
P.S. How about you getting your own red, or transparent, or white.



I sea it- Cha is not the only green

Rainy

Thanks to the Hokkaido in Spring, we get to see more colours in the (cha)soba. No longer green but sesame soba, and etanbetsu (100% Hokkaido Buckwheat) soba. The wonderful mills in the flour.


Another enticing version is the green, cha-seaweed soba. Algae that is so full of life to become vivid. A palate appetizer, the clean outlook of the noodle dish with the tidying of sensory- with seaweed.


Hokkaido Seaweed Soba with Special Sauce (SGD 10.30)

The taste is very delicate and very sweet, something like sashimi, the moutain version. Probably because there is seaweed/konbu inside. The wheat taste and tensility of it is also enhanced by the smooth rubberiness, locked up in ice.


Tampopo goes down another little lane with appetizers and sides to accessorize with what is usually ordered. Hokkaido bento, whole orange jelly, onigiri. A colourful tapestry of items painted.

P.S. And stirring with interference with sobas too, presenting the scape of Hokkaido to us, the lushness of buckwheat, sesame, and seaweed.
