So much for [potatoes]-@ Takashimaya Food Fest

Thursday, July 10   keyboard  


Cloudy

 It is a good hail of a purple sweet potato haven. 2 japanese sweet potatoes for SGD12 (take it or not(?)), 1 for SGD6. Korean sweet potato squares in glaze and honey, and this.

 
Karinto manju with sweet paste (SGD 1.80)

{(When I already had roasted japanese sweet potatoes), do we still need this purple potato with purple flesh(?)}. Quite a clouding thing glistening hard mochi-esque on the exterior, you take a bite of the cake dough seasoned exquisitely with black sugar, deep fried to a crisp with the outermost layer fluffy with oil. A sweet jam fills the inside. Beaming from the chef, he calls the shots at 50 a day. (Day 1 {when I was there}, it was sold out.) 

 P.S. Whether sweet potato|purple potato|black sesame or bean jam paste, in black or brown sugar; it is satiating to know {in your stomach} deep-fried, but (not so) simple and honest the sweet is prepared carefully and earnestly as japanese wagashi.
