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.
