Black Swan II

Friday, October 14   keyboard  

Night


The animals going widow.


Black is(?) ethnicity, black is discriminatory? Why do we look at it this way, make things more sensitive, when it is the colour black.


When it is the other colours, we think of descriptive, moving from the point of singling it out and centering on it.

P.S. We have discriminated black so much to focus on it.

Giving the cows a run for their money- Green Tea Milk Curd

Thursday, October 13   keyboard  

Sunny

Chomp Chomp Milk Curd, 忠忠七彩奶花, does it have what it takes to attest for its name? Two reds bandung and strawberry, orange mango, yellow original egg, two greens honeydew and green tea, blue grass jelly, browns mocha and chocolate, and white almond and new green ice jelly (文头雪), the wobbly orange gelatin you find in shaved ice.


Green Tea Milkcurd (SGD 1.50)

Milk is the default egg, because besides the original egg milk curd, the rest should be green tea curd, or grass jelly curd.

P.S. Not milky, beany, custardy but jelly! The green tea milkcurd tastes like aloe vera and honey, sweet, refreshing, cleansing, of cooling tea; probably only the thinness of cooling tea reminiscent of tea, {green}s and like.

Colour (and Ca2+) me crazy- Baby {Kidorikko} Biscuit

Saturday, October 8   keyboard  

Sunny


Finally, the stash in the larder only has one left! [Exp: 2012]



Baby teething biscuits. Non-(bland tasting) as opposed to how they look. They usually encroach in the system of reversal, the fondness and reverie of it imploring grown-ups to buy and eat.


Bourbon Kidorikko (SGD 2.35)

These are bought, products of mass-production and not hand-baked. Surpassers of feasibility and practicality tests. Insistence and allure of the store-found.

P.S. The pig, seal, puppy, rabbit, koala, fish, happy turtle, duck, alligator. Like join the dots for tots' exercise, this one's fill in the colouring page (inventively). They are dense, intense, sweet and buttery. The pink parts a tangy, sourish tone, slightly more crisp towards those of an icing base. Same with the green, or hallucinated as sweeter? A side-note are the fillers {colours}, read as caramel, red beet, gardenia, safflower yellow, carotene in the ingredients list.

P.P.S. Though, the cat, as noted on the yellow side of the cube, and a chick with green wings are missing in the total assortment of animals. 50%, 500mg of your Ca2+ intake for a day.

Flipping a Korean prata- Green tea glutinous

Sunday, October 2   keyboard  

Cloudy

At the basement of Takashimaya, there is this korean stall selling kimchi and ready-made dishes. However, it also has a frying stand. Some of it includes pancakes that are green, and white, and fishcakes that are purple, and yellow.


The label reads Hot tok, probably hotteok for korean rice pancake. It brackets with Korean Prata (with brown sugar filling.) Looking extraordinary in white or (lime) green colour, they appear genial and gentle enough, in flaccid, flattish cake mounds. However upon order they are tossed and grilled, over the hot stove for minutes till they are tight and browned. So this is how the Prata (of it) comes about?


Hot tok (Korean Prata) (Green Tea) (SGD 1.50)

The one in white glutinous rice (flavour) and this one green tea. Rice; glutinous, making more sense to cuisine of korean backgrounds. Green tea alluding a more enigmatic shade to the already korean, rice, sweet prata.

P.S. The hotteok is sweet, pliable and chewy with a separate maple-brown filling inside. It tastes like a honey maple pancake of rice nature, lodged with pine nuts, one of the more surprising things one has eaten; never to expect it to turn out this way. Besides being green one of its factor.

Fall for japan- Hokkaido Autumn Fair 2011

keyboard  

Cloudy

The mountain buns more than plain. Such as taiwan mountain buns purple, light brown, grey, green, orange, yellow, red, for yam, brown sugar, black sesame, spinach, pumpkin, egg, and strawberry flavours.



Does it correlate here also? The brown also brown sugar, green japanese green tea, while the white still plain but with red bean.



Sweet Buns (Brown sugar) (Green tea) (White) (SGD 6.00) (3 pcs)

The san iro 3色 of japan. The other 3色 are premium strawberry|premium whipping cream|matcha for roll cake (red, yellow, green). The way japan portrays tri colours (brown, green, white; here). Finally, a lavish all green, whereby it is authentic rich matcha japanese green tea for the green. A bit sweet like the nectar, with delicate white bean paste dissolving in your mouth for the green tea bun.

P.S. If you notice, the nature of the produce differs slightly. This is because of the different availabilities when the Fair brings in. From last Summer's rare cheese and milk ice cream, to this Autumn's fresh vegetables and brown sugar buns.

Eat Japanese and Chinese- Black Popiah

Friday, September 30   keyboard  

Night

After insistence on the standard, original, traditional, it has also delved into the wild track of the novel. The Chomp Chomp popiah or more correctly I-Chai Food Speciality has fillings, sauce lace or wrappings that are edible and now found on what is still called a popiah/kueh pie ti.


Sushi Popiah (SGD 3.00)

In terms of taste and texture, it feels like eating the japanese creation, the savoury aroma of the seaweed skin encompassing the dish with the breath of sea, dealt between layers of crisp and dry. It juxtaposes with the 2nd skin inside, the fragrant flour popiah skin, something different yet familiar. Overall, in one big gulp, it is juicy and sauce sweet, the fillings flavourful giving a sense of abundance. Look, there is egg scrambles, steamed turnip in sauce, small carrots, bean sprouts, lettuce, fried shallots and the sauce. The whole-set traditional.


One in black and one in white. The popiah zen, giving it a contemporary, wanting-to-be-prominent feel. Just that one never thought that black could be japanese.

P.S. At Chomp Chomp, you can also get transparent popiah (rice paper), (inner)green kueh pie ti (wasabi sauce), and chicken floss, Japanese octopus kueh pie tee, inner yellow popiah (cheese).

W(eir)ired and wonderful | Apple pie + Salted caramel cheesecake = major | Whats your flava.



It is an immaterial virtual database, only to be realized as a pair of flavours, to be presented and chalked up every week.


Serving up Friday 30 are Hazelnut, Salted egg yolk, Summer berries, Horlicks, Wasabi lime, Melt & Sizzle (Berries & choc pops), Soursop, Nuts N Such (Peanut butter & chocolate), Milk ice cream, Black sesame, Sarsi Vanilla Sarsi Float, Kampong Kuah (Coconut + banana + gula melaka), Pink Guava, Earl Grey Tea, Chocolate, Vanilla and more undepicted. (They are nit-picky about the capitalizing of their words, unless the flavour garners from an existing registered object, it will not be deemed capital letters.)


Wasabi Lime (Small) (SGD 2.90) (Student)

The unientity to wasabi, currently for Singapore.
A sampling portion for the flavours, first?
It tastes of fruit milk ice-cream, and later the stinging nettles a sensory perception, not taste reception. Sizzling ice cream to stop your cold. As it gets milder to the middle, there are globs of lime to chew on, like those of korean citron (yuzu) tea.

P.S. Chocolate is the most (left), pink guava and horlicks are the most cleaned up.
