Beat the Blue- with a stick

Wednesday, September 11   keyboard  


Sunny

Blend. Indeed a blend. Like sandwiched play dough. In second official language, bubble gum, cotton candy, juicy grape, wild cherry (cerise savage(?)), pink lemonade (limonade rose), pina colada, banana split, candy apple (green and red), strawberry banana, watermelon, orange splash, blue raspberry. The other side is the parallel official language, making you even more wanting to catch them in their very essence. 


They seem to appear everywhere, and in such an array of colours one asks have one seen them before or is it a new flavour. Definitely not helping in any way, creates senile dementia in front of unprecedented stimuli.  


Framboise Bleue (CAD 0.50)

Reminder, where you are. Where raspberries are [blue raspberry], and lemonades animously (pink lemonade). The societal scene's changed. Original Gourmet Lollipops & Suckers have added all that there is into the unique of their candy, what which is gourmet to them, from their perspective, in their knowledge. Raspberry may be their tamest to blue, given the ubiquity.     


If need be nagging on the raspberry (taste), it is that tarty, rose-like concentration of a raspberry, on a candy for [blue raspberry] flavour. Nothing as to seeing blue raspberries, here. However there is a slight premonition of sour raspberry mixed with something matured, for the blue, raspberry coating with a spray of watermelon or ester.

P.S. The blue raspberry shines like a enigmatic stone, undefined, when rolled around it becomes like the rind of a watermelon, blue with rich white stripes, the cream (peaches and cream) sugar part of it showing through.

The dean approves- rainbow cake @ Dean & DeLuca

Monday, August 5   keyboard  


Sunny

 It was the salt that kept me going, a year plus ago June 2012, when Dean & Deluca first projected its appendages onto Singapore. The coarse sea salt (white), the roasted garlic sea salt (ochre), the wild porcini seat salt (mushroom brown), the Himalayan Mineral salt (flecked and rose, quartzed?). Bringing back that flood of rainbow, like a train of flashback.

Or was it the coarse sugar? Chiseled metal tins for stockings hanging? This era is loose powder, gel liners. Green sugar, blue sugar, yellow sugar, orange sugar, clear sanding sugar, rainbow sugar, purple sugar, pink sugar, red sugar. What your coffee sugar says about you.   



Foods|Gifts|Gourmet- they are interchangeable, welded here. The spirit of eating and giving. From charcuterie to cheeses to wine, and to employ its fresh or organic means to the cafe. But this gourmet retailer is also a backyard for rainbow? Why no radiating forth the gleam; windowsills shortcake and blondies and tart which stole the gem away? 




There it was actually, beside the red velvet and chocolate indulgence. Garmented in ethereal, white clouds (literally), thrown into such an identity crisis slightly cumbersome with jagged ridges, it could be the precipitation beside the meteorological phenomena rolling up a Romantic notion for the rainbow. No wonder the interior linings are pocketed. Rainbow met with a storm here? It can be orange, pink, yellow, green, blue, purple on one day, red, yellow, green, blue, orange, purple (cake) in Dean & DeLuca on another! 


Lemon Meringue (SGD 7.00)

 Less sweet and zesty with rind of citrus, it is solid enough-looking pastry, the crisped browned meringue artful in texture and filled lemon curds well-whipped and stable.  

Rainbow Cake Slice (SGD 7.00)

Though many ways for interpretation, bakehalf bake it ganache it birthday it, this is angel's entry by Dean & Deluca, to rainbow cake in Singapore, though Dean & Deluca departs from New York. The white vanilla-flavoured buttercream. However cherubic as it is casted by Dean & Deluca, the rainbow has been pertained to something. Sandwiched into 3, it is read the sweet and cherry ripe red of Froot Loops {red}, the tangy bursts of orange, yellow and green Froot Loops {orange, yellow, and green}, and the jacked up goodbye kisses of grape in the purple of Froot Loops {blue and purple}. Cake sponge fingers which remind you of the fruits!  

P.S. Dean & Deluca, why it would interject itself as one of another slice in the rainbow scene. {Rainbow cakes, infantine}. It then felled upon me because it is to sweeten it.

It's an Australia @ The House of Robert Timms

Friday, August 2   keyboard  


Cloudy


When its not small enough, there's Chinatown, Little Vietnam, Little India, Little Italy. Would we ever have a signature of our own? How about a tiny Australia? The true taste of the wild; not withholding, have a loin of kangaroo, stout braised, braised crocodile casserole, or kangaroo rendang. Catch your whole host of safari animals. The bizarre display. The House of Robert Timms.   


Savouries aside, when you are partially swept away by the bivalves and light bites, steak selection, all-day breakfast, and beer and coffee bar, you'd know that there are sweets at The House of Robert Timms. Those shared, interfusing terms- flourless cake, chocolate ganache, lamington, dip cookie, already so heavily accented in characteristic flavour, more in the chilled, where to go from here? 


Aussie's clotted and cream and glazed. But not so, there's a smear of colour there- rainbow, yes, in such uncomplicated yellow (?), brown (?), purple (?), red (?), pink (?), green (?). Torrent from the macaroons.


To think the mirage of paradise could be reproduced. The Classic (Macaroons)(rainbow)- in rose and lavender and choc mint and mango. Rainbow would not be stitched, without any one of the four in the quadruple. 


Choc Mint (SGD 6.00)

The urbane flavour from the tea leaves macaroons. One of the items that would get on your serving in the end. Be it a conspicuous sight, transplanted on top of counter; but French, painted eggshells, and it be Au Chocolat, or PAUL, having macaroons colossal. The usual seize. No longer a little loot, macarons. 


The colour of your salads. Telling, the pastry has a cripsy cookie shell, appropriately set, and the ice-white buttercream plenty, grand where the filling is substantial and not leaving sad pockets with you languishing a waste. A frosty floral of mint goes on the white, but a sweet ending, definitely.  

 P.S. You'd want to try them all (rainbow)- rose and lavender and choc mint and mango, but it's a misfortune. They are too big to swallow for a rainbow.

Selamat Hari Raya Haji- new cupcake @ Cedele

Wednesday, July 31   keyboard  


Fine

 The dense and rich, pretty little things, cupcake. Where the cream is over the top or there has not been enough to last the fairy cake. It takes a further mile to contain unsalted butter, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, or creaming grapeseed oil and sweetener organic unrefined sugar in these highly fashioned pipes.  


Pandan Coconut (SGD 4.00) 
If you had known Cedele's breads, or curry, you would have chimed in, rhythmically, with the eggless, sugarless, fat free, natural red vegetable juice, organic, stone milled. Feeling fun with escapades in the central kitchen, they have 8 flavours in total to claim for cupcakes. The 4 new- almond chai latte, coffee addiction, peppermint chocolate, pandan coconut. New look you would inspect into a Cedele, the time-tested, old-style stirrings, a naturally spiced and healthier alternative to cappuccino chai latte or home styled almond sugee, hot coffee with organic Arabica coffee beans, ryal desiccants peppermint tea leaves or cold pressed pandan leaves for that beautifully finished reddened green. 


 Sweet and wispy, lingering with natural fragrance of coconut, it is an enviably moist frosting, ripened unhastenedly. The cake loaf base is soft, with an old fashion pandan taste.


P.S. The nutty pandan was for Hari Raya celebration this month. Noxious kueh green sought afters. Knife it, and it is still spruce green inside. Which would it be the cupcake to stay on with the other 4? It was the pandan coconut, and peppermint chocolate, peppering confetti to the rest of Cedele's cupcakes, lemony orange, red velvet, key lime gula melaka and caramel drizzle.

Papa nana coco the (cucu)factor in soy- Mr Bean

keyboard  


Sunny

 There. We've got papa (ya), nana (ba), coco (nut). Equatorial, fluid replenishing fruits. How about a mango, kiwi, or perhaps matcha adzuki? The cool tide of greens and oranges. But this is not kiwi, actually. Mr Bean has decided not to launch the kiwi but the lesser, kyuri as the icy blaster this summer. (Cucu) 'mber. 


Icy Kyuri (Small) (SGD 3.00)
No need to look elsewhere. Mr Bean, kindly feeds you what you need. Kyuri are japanese cucumbers. The crocodile-skinned, burly looking scallywags. You are counseled by the familiarity. It is the hunger-staving crunches that mum packs in sandwich lunches, and the lucent pleats served alongside with sashimi. Cucumber slush is sweet, held by the laps of smooth soy milk. The partially bludgeoned cucumbers give off a sharp, pale scent. 

 P.S. Vegetable with milk? Or ovo-vegetarian, floating in beans, protein? Your sanity is preserved with the adjective. Its (Mr Bean's) Fruity Soya Milk series. Then the Veggie Soya Milk (carrot soya milk, celery soya milk).

Padang pandan- green blade of home @ Yami

keyboard  


Summer

 Hardcore g r e e n. Perfectly alright even if we did not traverse into the green tea. One of the less represented in a green; because it is a natively produced flavour, how envelope-pushing contemporary ice-cream parlours would want to make a statement by wiring it into their strain. The local vanilla. Pose with me the doe-eyed wonder panda sweetness pandan. 


Pandan (Regular) (SGD 2.30)

A pretty seafoam green. {Always a sting to the heart.} Pandan, the non-kaya (kaya is coconut jam), non-jam, non-egg, non-coconut, this odd extract of a plant? You could feel the tendrils of the cooking aroma coming towards you, against the flash of a sourish yoghurt.
P.S. Local rose, bandung. Local vanilla, pandan. Yami Yoghurt projects to you, when was it the last time you had relived the full glory of stuffing a pandan chiffon in your face? A dessert. Or pie or cake or bread or muffin. Has anyone ever spanned a web on all the flavours of Yami Yogurt? The range of fruits and plants in yoghurt.

Shall We?- what a crack Shall We? Glico Matcha

Thursday, July 18   keyboard  

Sunny

 Matcha connoisseurs are acute, assertive than ever in this age of rapidly reviving consciousness. Breadth-wise, in the ruthless pursuit to secure matcha, that can once again hit the sweetest spot, like aficionados susurrating; length-wise, matcha getting more and more zany. Green, the revolution causing grave disturbances to the scene, you cannot be perturbed or unaffected by the presence. 


 Shall We? Glico Matcha (SGD 6.00)
Glico also scores hard quelling that. After Pocky, Kit Kat Matcha Latte, Ginza sweet Uki Matcha, Pocky Midi Matcha, Fujiya LOOK Matcha Parfait, Glico calls for a reform with traditional hand-baked cookie, laced generously with heaps of matcha equally traditional how Japanese grandmother would prepare. The wide on the eye, disappearing in the mouth cookie. With luxuriant growths like gilded brass on the package, Glico uses traditional to pitch against the other quirky matcha. But the Shall We?- a wet blanket(?)[haha]. It's the notion of raising tea glasses to toast to elevenses, says the Glico, Colonial or benign Japanese way. 


 There it emanates a sweet, grassy small. Reminiscent of shortbread's stature, but sandy and buoyant, sharply giving away what Glico would want. 

P.S. Shall We?- the thinking of hopping onto a boat does not confine to the green tea. So romance is not all green. The Shall We also include others like butter, (probably where it originated from) and chocolate chip macadamia.

Nanchuck and all that chops- Meiji's Chip! Chop cereal

Friday, July 12   keyboard  


Hazy

 You're right. There's "delicious salt" there. On the box. {That's how pomelo, smoked duck, mint, rocket comes about? Or oyster sauce, pineapple, wakame perplexes}?

Meiji Chipchop Matcha (SGD 6.00)

 Chocolate matcha, fragrant black pepper, salt. Read the list and it informs bran, cocoa powder, matcha powder, black ground sesame, salt. Like your favourite salt and pepper- a little bit more and it'd be better power brunch. Glico, baffles with the Shall We?; what happen to you now, Meiji? Meiji explains Chippendale, it is crispy, it is thin.   



Triangular cereal puffs, coated with that wee bit of salt/pepper(?) making it savoury and a dusty surface, like grits stuffed with chocolate. It is bittersweet yet popping like poppy seeds and spicy with extra chocolate flavour in the thin chocolate cream, the salt metes it out a palatable finish from cereal to cereal to last the feed. 

 P.S. The product name Meiji Chip Chop, visioned snack of cereal with chocolate to be dunked in milk, rearing its ugly head as forcibly as green fingers slipping out (brusquely) from a chocolate-brown biscuit, it is the seasonal matcha green tea sesame cream. The normal are chocolate, bitter chocolate with cocoa cream.  

Corny or what?- yellow, yellow fellow from Yami Yogurt

Wednesday, July 10   keyboard  


Cloudy

Anything is possible. Upon first grazing the yogurt, corn. They are all linked together in a complex, omniscient way- it has been established.

Corn (Regular) (SGD 2.30)

The bystanding face and price tag for years, it still stayed.
Corn a fruit, vegetable grain in yogurt?  Dessert- custard/corn pau, ice kachang, sweet corn you add to tapioca, coconut. The sulfur yellow kernels you'd pick from your serving plate. 

P.S. No unfamiliar, it is like ice dessert roped in with a strain of corn. The taste of corn, faint, shadowed by the natural culture's frozen texture later, you forget that the lemon chiffon yellow's corn. Only towards the end the husky taste of the grain resurfaces a bit, corn.

Adventure on f(rui)t- Tic Tac 4 flavours

Monday, July 1   keyboard  


Sunny


All the time it has been deceiving. Behind the electric blue/brilliant orange screens. The refreshers|whites. 
       

 It's still hard to view Tic Tac, as a mosaic. The solid colour, broken up. It gives away, into licensing. Which is the most numerous? The reds. 

 P.S. So it rains cherry, orange, passion fruit, green apple. {Blessings.}

Pink Pan(ther)- female@ Donq

Monday, June 24   keyboard  


Sunny

 Only the French would be that tantalizing. Full-bodied masterpieces, like flower heads, lavish ingredients. At a glance, heavily textured waxing and waning. The dark, the light (dusted), the savoury, the sweet breads. One of its signature include the mentaiko french, and the dutch bread. 


Pink Panda (chocolate chips) (SGD 3.00)

Ganache heaven, it is the Japanese. Little lake of colour, or pool. Ice-cream station Donq has stamped the Mr Panda, sighted and reproduced a sakura version, Ms Panda strawberry. Chocolate, and strawberry. Scoop which comes in more than 1 flavour residing in the well. Breads which draw the people to, because the lighting and heating are flamed and torched like a creamery. The goody bag of fruits and vegetables, herbs and elegant meats, flour and technique and content. 


The bun is brioche based, yeasty, not that fine, higher butter or milk taste. It is golden, crusty at the bottom equally dark exposing real chocolate drops. Panda bow achingly tied pink, however it is under a different umbrella, rich, tender. So is the (panda) eye. A sparkly eye, crumbed, sugared.

P.S. The pink panda is one of the lovely mistakes on earth. Mutation. Premium camouflage. Sweet, turning pandas females. No. The strawberry panda was not strawberry (the cream, chocolate), but table sugar candied.

(Im) beans for you- edamame @ Sushi Tei

Thursday, June 20   keyboard  


Night


The back, or bottom half of it would always be changing. What it is notable for, for Sushi Tei.



 The 2nd order, or menu, it transforms into the shoes of its diners, what they would desire for; illusionary, apart from the main menu. For the summer months, it is the treats you can get from the sun-ripe and kissed produces; that are fully immersed in the light of life. 

Lavender (fields)?, flowers (sakuraebi), skipjack tuna, edamame, the deal of the season. The Early Summer  involves selection from catch of the season, certain don, croquette and tempura. 

Edamame Ice Cream (SGD 3.60)

 What one had not taken away from the Fusion Fiesta promotion, the ice cool sizzling hot small pot of extra factor, wasabi. The visiting point to Singapore. However it all settles, with edamame.  



The muted, toned down colours of Japan. Cream, grassy green, grey, ochre, beige, maroon, apricot. A reflection of the Japanese flavours, how less rogue it is; in shio (salt), black sesame, yuzu, strawberry, strawberry mille-feuille, nama chocolate.       



Sweet Pear Ice Cream (SGD 3.60)

 Where there is sweet white peach, there is sweet pear, in Japan. Crisp, thin, more of sorbet, it is aromatic, with a quality of wine. If you had pear tea it is the same fullness in sugariness. 

The edamame ice cream, a whipped, eggy blend of sweet and savoury. There are pieces of green soy beans within. Lightly studded with the green heads, only bronzed caramel brittles (if found in ice cream) come close, chewy and buttery. There's nothing much ice cream like this (savoury). 

 P.S. The ultimate snacking company, one had not known or should have guessed that edamame had the substantiality to be churned in ice cream. Where there is red bean, yellow bean (soybean), peas, now edamame (green bean).

Breaking pink- Yam helms, from Jollibean

Tuesday, June 18   keyboard  


Night

Look what Jollibean has done. Yam maru pancake. Sweet potato maru pancake. It seems to have slipped into the health and vegetarian notions of Taiwan, an open vista of the wide whole sky, where it is closer to heaven, and accessible to pristine spring water. Along the same mystic realms of high altitude tea picking; the Taiwanese mountain buns, besides spinach, egg, strawberry, milk, plain, brown sugar, corn, multi grain, yam, and sweet potato. 



 Yam Maru Pancake (SGD )

Is it a creamy grey what it takes after the yam, or fleshy white? What would the yam cultivated of Jollibean be? It's violet alright. Why are yams purple? It would be the phenolic compounds in the nutritionally dense starches. Mystery revealed on its light purple corms, (what we lawfully render yam to be), or why the linings of its flesh oscillate from the suffused ivory to brownish black to pan-pink. 



You wielding your purple yam as trophy vegetable. The yam here is minced according to the directions of a maru pancake, as with its red bean, green bean or green tea mash, or compote of the cheese or cherry, hand made marmalade. The yam maru is silky sweet and churns a little in the middle of your resilient and chewy pancake/imagawayaki. 

 P.S. Yam and sweet potato. Pastes combining the specialities that they have cultivated. Predominance of the colours pinks, purples, browns, whites and greens. Once considered a peasant's consumption, cheap and filling, the root's significance cannot be overstated now, relished by both the rich and poor. The rich nightshades, it still gets me. Yam, and you have completed the pandan, kaya, green tea, bamboo charcoal in Jolllibean.

Paint marker waffle- Pearl Waffle

Friday, May 24   keyboard  


Cloudy

 It seems to be HK or Taiwan which does it. Crepe, egg tart, eggette, obanyaki, potato (baked, whole). Galaxy on top of them which includes sugar, savoury, or spice|nice.  



The waffles look sleek because it is the Taiwan/Belgium/liege. Non-cubiodal comprising of the many subsets, counterparts. Plump, full and crunchy at the surface, like starfish arms. Frayed shape of flour fritters. 

Banana Creamy Liege (RM 10.90)
Uniform pink, pink gear, the padded counter like beauty parlours? Dermatology new technology? But Pearl Waffle. Where only pearly white sugar, extracted from the beets from Belgium is used. The exceptionally hard, refined pearl sugar you find varnished on choux pastry. 



Strawberry Chocolate Classic (RM 6.50)
Creamy liege, classic, words which colour and pepper the board. Liege the waffle Belgian liege waffle, chosen to be a room-temperature fruit tart creamy, or Pearl Waffle classic. Classic the exemplar of Pearl Waffle, the batter as if one colour each, stamped and coated on one face of the waffle; on wells, lining highway junctions. Batter-dipped, half dunked like old-fashioned or s'mores, its the waffles sung and elevated. Coated thinly in milk and chocolate, pocky.



 P.S. Throwing glances over, you are informed that Pearl Waffle is handmade and freshly baked on the spot. The 180 persistence, it is 180 minutes of fermentation and at 180 degrees of high temperature for the distinct waffle. Such testings to emerge a pearl.

Black bread- bread which passed the custom

Thursday, May 23   keyboard  


Night

 It was identifiable, black.



Bamboo Nugget Bun (RM 2.80)

Not one which stuck out like a sore, it was bamboo (charcoal). Of old school provision shops, traditional wedding cakes, buns in 6s, one had not seen this in a long time. Complete. One's fish sandwich in elementary school. Trail of hotdog, fish nugget, chili(not tomato) sauce, sliver of cucumber, slice cheese, mayonnaise. Were grouped since time immemorial.    

Cranberry Cream Cheese (RM 2.20)

Hint of tarty and sweet, birthchild of Philadelphia(?) and dried fruits in asia, in anpan northeast would be red bean paste, southern would be raisin cream cheese. The significance of bamboo in the region.



How the flattened bread added to the design of the taste, the cream cheese, though chopped or minced, aligned with the salty butteriness of the confectionery bun. Not dry, the local flavour which sells like hotcakescross bun, the asian comfort of dips in a bread roll. 

 P.S. One of the cheese and cranberry bun, smart as ingenious as the oreo {black cocoa}. The vibrancy of the colour (black) against the paled out whites which signals for its health properties.

The Beautiful- May@ Yami Yogurt

Thursday, May 9   keyboard  


Fine

Racking the brain why there is rose now. As to almond or raspberry flavour. We've missed green tea already. 


Oreo, granola, blueberries, almond? It's ok, with the flavour of the week.



Rose (Regular) (SGD 2.30)

 Candypoppishteenybopper pink, it was the shade of chalk. If chalk and cheese was different as chalk and cheese. 

P.S. The rose flavour was not mild. Somehow, the plant with thorny stems gave the shivers if to be churned in yogurt. Under the pink brushes, the yogurt remained its original tart. Rose lingered like plant extract from rose cream hand wash. Elementary school-chalk or not, it was the tropical crackling substituent, if Japan had their sakura. Rose.

Yam is y(u)m- new crush @ Mr Bean

Wednesday, May 8   keyboard  


Sunny


Pearly bandung aside, hits the spot (appraisal) the new tuber to hit the blenders. {Adzuki bean, next thing Starbucks coming up is yam}. 


Adventurous Mr Bean strawberry cream cheese pancake (Mother's day probably, a salute with the shade of love), are taro soya milk and gula melaka soya pudding. 


Taro Soya Milk (Without Pearls) (SGD 2.30)
The taro soya milk can be served hot, warm or cold. Its a rich,  tingling purple. Decadently invigorating, the taste is thick and muddied at first, the fragrance of yam wells up a little. It is later washed with a thinning, beany flavour of soy. Mellifluous. Taro is the endearing way of calling yam. Or yam is white and mountainous, taro the sweeter, accurate term.


Gula Melaka Silky Soya Pudding (SGD 2.20) 

Local, rustic (perhaps household feedback on what Singapore delights), chendol, bandung, Mr Bean now gula melaka, gula melaka the strapping sugar to its pudding made from soy. To coffee, the amber syrup, and milk; to cakes, vintage-inspired. Unexpectedly, the taro soya milk was sweeter than the gula melaka soya pudding. Whilst sweet, the sugar had a richer, darker taste, a topping for the pudding eggy but silken. Keep refrigerated or consume on the day of purchase before the curd settles. It is set with nata de coco.

 P.S. Soya, a filter that makes the food enhanced, complexed. Soya ice-cream, soya latte, soya pudding, the taste is inapprehensible. So many layers. Now add taro, spill the gula melaka. The shroud of Mr Bean. Besides the potential, lighter on the health of course.

Popacolours

Wednesday, May 1   keyboard  


Sunny

Origins in Spain, established since 1958. A bouquet of Chupa Chups. What you can get for reception too. 



波子汽水 and 葡萄口味 (Labour Day)

 Not just the blue (with gold), red, green foils. There were cola, strawberry, apple, and the intermediates watermelon, vanilla. 



珍宝珠 is the chinese translation, 波 the paddle of the ping pong handle, or the pop of the lolly lollipop. Under 珍宝珠, the blue-green lime was flavoured like carbonated drink, without the fizz, citric and sweet with a horizontal taste. 

 P.S. Both the fruity flavours. Getting back in tune with unwrapping the shells of plastic, the design of Chupa Chups are striped. Not exactly plain. A cheery magenta, with forest green and indigo stripes, imagery for grapes. Turquoise, with yellow stripes for fizzy drink. That explains the transparency and intermediacy of the colours, in the bouquet. Watch out if there is 珍宝珠 at your nearest cashier.

The local Rose-@ Chomp Chomp Milk Curd

Sunday, April 28   keyboard  


Fine

Like treasures piled, as one was at the odd end of the counter, green, 2 rows of pink, chocolate or mocha, peanut or ginko nut, soya (original) or egg, soya beancurd. They indeed maintain (80%) what they boast to offer. 



Uphill, at such a stall. With replicates, how do they differentiate which green is green, mocha colour is mocha? 



Bandung Milkcurd and Honeydew Milkcurd (SGD 1.50 ea)

 Bandung and honeydew come almost together, in the group of the secondary as the flavours are bundled in the menu. Not the stall stationing, house favourites, nor the unintentional adventitious tweaks. The local, equatorial rendering to curd. Bandung is a local drink; while honeydew is the stall's most popular ubiquitious fruit, in our institutions, next to watermelon, pineapple, papaya. The bandung and honeydew also not fall into the first broad classification of Chomp Chomp Milk Curd, the aloe, or gel, jelly, but the latter, milky. 

Do not let them settle for more than a few hours. The milk solids would separate from the water. Carving with a spoon, the scrambled pieces are marbled, striated, showing fresh and naturally set like beancurd. It is a smooth finish, and the stall assiduously intercepts syrup into the curd. The bandung is sweet-smelling, edible like the drink we know.

 P.S. Bandung. The rose drink we ladle, be it plastic bags or packet cartons. Bandung is the local milk infused with rose syrup, pink be it. One thing bandung is not strawberry is; strawberry is red and you have to suppress it with dairy, bandung is the milk with roses, roses themselves are pink in the wild.
