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!
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.
