Black bread- bread which passed the custom


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
