P(o)ppy(corn)love- candy covered cornflower seeds

Friday, November 30   keyboard  


Sunny

Even the popcorn starts to look more festive. Colour 102 food yellow tartrazine,110 sunset yellow, 122 carmoisine red colour, 133 brilliant blue. As mentioned on the package.  
 

Kanga Coloured Popcorn (SGD 4.50)
Bubblegum colours of mentos/vitagen/fruity flavours, they are familiar enough though looking like scrambled eggs, it is grabbing small fleshy fruits, a couple of citrus and a bunch of grapes. The pink is strawberry, orange is orange, yellow is lemon, green is lime, purple is grape.


The strawberry is the sweetest of it all, and the lemon and lime though mellow, are bursting with ascorbic acid like candy drops. The grape has the same crystalline attributes as strawberry, with a drifting mustiness of the fleshy berry.  
 

No preservatives, no junky stuff, heralded by the brand Kanga proud from Australia. In the grocer's this season, toasty and tingly curling your toes where kernels popped are mosaic tones.

 P.S. We are the same kind. Every colour a different flavour. Sensitive to their variations. What is your favourite? My favourite would be the orange. Ripe and crusty and not losing that natural sunburst citrus flavour.

Bat a matcha- Caplico matcha "ice cream" stick

keyboard  


Sunny

 Caplico. The ringing swinging brand name for a fantasy. Akin snowie{slushie} on a hot summer's day miracle, explicitly frozen sweets in the blizzards. The "fake" {ice-cream} cone, you could call. Master of all gelatinstabilisergeneticengineering treats.


Glico Caplico Stick Assort Matcha (SGD 7.00)

Before you could break out into a stutter strawberrychocolatevanilla, half a year Glico shoves the Japanese winning trio to you. Chocolate strawberry matcha. Vanilla pods must be their picked leaves there. Rare milled leaves appear. For a restricted time only.


 The foil is powder-lite, with clover print/white lace whorls. Green for matcha, lite-green for chocolate, pink for strawberry. We clap our hands in glee because (we know) {and notice} our favourite assorts are climbing plants- the vanilla, the cocoa, the strawberry, matcha.


Lickable, the [ice] cream part of it is aery and smooth as ever, the wafer crisp and crisp-smelling of ironed sleeves. They are good to be thrown deep into your throats at once, dairy and cone disappearing altogether clean way of having ice-cream.

  
Like what promised, it is a split personality! The matcha mousse gives way to a chocolate cavern. That streak of sweetness to keep up with the garden tea theme. Everything cocoa, everything light.

P.S. So what was it like to have matcha flavour ice-cream cone. Nothing out of the extraordinary, recurring ice-cream green tea everywhere. Is it ice-cream, is it cold, is it matcha. It is a cone. It seems to get onto you the imitation when it is green. What Caplico (Giant) is doing.

SFF- fields forever @ Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Wednesday, November 28   keyboard  


Sunny

On cakes. We have had them blue. In the ice-cream bin. On crepes. But what is it anyway, something that is solid? What is red velvet if you could drink it?


   Red Velvet Cocoa drink (SGD 6.00) (Small)
 
One is very unsure too, destabilizing one's understanding. For the perfect perk this season Coffee Bean has drinking chocolate in red velvet. A mug of cocoa hot or iced, to melt you. The iced version had a striated sweetness to it, somewhat like velvet, or something you get from a strawberry shake.  

P.S. Walk out from the umbrage of a strawberry. The hottest cake in a drink.

Have it with your greens @ Starbucks

keyboard  


Sunny

 Underneath it, Starbucks seems to be heading towards one direction. Which is the {!}healthy. Warranting black bread and green and orange wraps. Starbucks is more agreeable, in this light.


Meat Lovers Spinach Wrap (SGD 10.50)

An especial and dedicated menu to explain the oranges and green, we understand the plea that Starbucks gives, in return from the support of its customers. Roasted chicken & vegetables wrap with mushroom truffle dip, pastrami & ham spinach wrap with barbecue dip, portobello & roasted vegetables tomato wrap with spinach and cheese dip.  

P.S. Purposefully, the most potent, the spinach, to complement the delicatessen meats. Not the vegetarian portobello and roasted vegetables (wrap), not the roasted chicken and vegetables (wrap). While some people might wrinkle their noses because it is a Starbucks wrap, the portion was sizable and hot when received. It was moist and elusively soft than thought, and the hardboiled egg swaddled in the wrap was firm yet delicate. Besides the gherkin and cheddar, {land/four feet} roast beef and pastrami, (air{?}/two feet) roast chicken and turkey ham, a medley of textures for you to uncover neath the sheets. A first time under one's belt, stumped, gherkin, cucumber, as to pickles, cucumber, or silage, grass.

Everything sunshine and nice @ Le Chocolat Café

Friday, November 9   keyboard  


After rain

 Photoshoots, the edgy side of Singapore, it's got to be Le Chocolat Cafe {on the media its overdue date after been patronized}. Besides ann siang road or club street for the matter, the place for class trips, trails/trials.     
  


 Le Chocolat Cafe at Club Hotel is one of the bakeries which offers a rainbow {slice of} cake in Singapore, in the then trend of a rainbow cake. It wasn't something that existed before devil's food cake.

   
Rainbow Cake (SGD 7.00)

Red. Orange. Yellow. Green (lime). Blue. Violet. The (grandeur) 6 layers. Under a dark chocolate sauce drench. The penultimath layer must be the 1st {brown (chocolate)}, i guess, for rainbow. 


Kueh lapis, western carrot cake, kueh lapis (prune pandan butter, baked). One tries to understand (though glad of), the rainbow cake. Painstaking, no wonder it fetches high prices. One gathers a greater more. The rainbow cake (for most of the time) is emulating a red velvet cake, the motivity behind its radiation.

 P.S. Razor thin as it seems, the rainbow cake is a butter pound cake, sandwiched between palette knived-cream frosting.
