Tropical paradise for winter- Pocky mango & pineapple

Saturday, March 8   keyboard  


Cloudy 

You know one is not a fan of orange. Not the cosmic yellow, happy all-teeth and smiles, sunshine kind. 

 Pocky Tropical (CAD 2.50)

It is seeded with some attractiveness, there. A we want to see mango, and a been a while no see pineapple. Cocktailic pineapple to stitch up any shortcoming of mango. The foods in orange are always sweet, a need for sakura's replacement?

P.S. It not only promises orange, but magnolia, garlands and lens flare. An all-rounded rainbow orange. There was a time one wanted to narrate the entire history and processions of yuzu. Just, one time.

(?)fishy pink- Canada's Goldfishes Vanila Cupcake

Sunday, March 2   keyboard  


Sunny

So pretty right. (Yup we know the whalehead has been staring at us for months already. Onto tram, coach, taxi, planes, foot, camerabag, whatsoever. Almost batteredbeer.)

Goldfish Vanilla Cupcakes Graham (CAD 3.65)
  
Why it is in French and sakura is because tiny view from a hamster, the confetti from the cupcake in Montreal are totalitarian and sexist, it is pur pink(!). Hence the fish gets rubbed in shiny scales of rogue pearlized sugar. {Our memory foam pillows recall goldfish snacks quad-colour (in blue, green, orange, dark red), somehow here, here, and a missing here.} 

 P.S. Reading, it is FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICE CONCENTRATES FOR COLOUR PINK- they are thanking radish, pumpkin, tomato, apple, sweet potato, cherry. Baked with real vanilla extract*. No wonder a marked pink singled out for sprinkles on your cupcake to discriminate. It tastes no dissimilarity from the peas in the pod of tropical vanilla fish, {grahams, yes when they are sweets no more crackers} but now you know the difference flashing pink.

Tic-Tac-(toe)- XOXOs for Her yearly Ferrero

keyboard  


Sunny

 Yup we keep seeing it.


Tic Tac Pink Grapefruit (CAD 3.68)
Isn't it expensive, if it is a matchstick box size or jumbo less miserable (of 49g) of fresh mints. Why shoulder such loot? A poignant tale beneath the champagne champignon pink is it is only available in the months turning winter, and chosen to be offered in pharmacies where automatic teller machines churn out notes big for you to settle your school insurances (4 digits) and to foot the pink ribbon foundation. The ladies' favourite fruit {slimming} their more hypnotic variety (pink), and their cause. There has never been a Tic Tac sweeter than this (we know it is menthol, alright).  

 P.S. 100 mints(or 100%). Menthe their preferred taste not so sweet, sourish and bitter mints not sweets so retaining repairing properties. Tear off those sugar daddies shell once more; why they find it so special: powdered acerola (cherry) extract, powdered pink grapefruit juice and carmine for their colour, pink.

So(y)black, so(y)fine- Q_Q @ QQ Soyabean

Friday, February 21   keyboard  


Sunny

 The sun has been draining the fluids out of one. Hence, drinking something solid. 

Black Bean Beancurd (SGD 2.00)

You walk around and see that even beans (or is it curds) aren't in their innocent whites. The beancurd treat is still silky and sweet of legume soya pudding dessert, just you knew that it was made from beans meaty with a shiny, black coat. 

 P.S. New black bean drink and beancurd, when QQ Soyabean makes it from 100% quality beans, 100% black beans black? Not as shadowy as one thought but it was a good time spent how original beancurd will look like made from black beans, and eaten it in finely silken and cold pressed tofu. Curd is the same thing as cows, when running out of white cows then using black cows to draw milk?

Beat the Blue- with a stick

Wednesday, September 11   keyboard  


Sunny

Blend. Indeed a blend. Like sandwiched play dough. In second official language, bubble gum, cotton candy, juicy grape, wild cherry (cerise savage(?)), pink lemonade (limonade rose), pina colada, banana split, candy apple (green and red), strawberry banana, watermelon, orange splash, blue raspberry. The other side is the parallel official language, making you even more wanting to catch them in their very essence. 


They seem to appear everywhere, and in such an array of colours one asks have one seen them before or is it a new flavour. Definitely not helping in any way, creates senile dementia in front of unprecedented stimuli.  


Framboise Bleue (CAD 0.50)

Reminder, where you are. Where raspberries are [blue raspberry], and lemonades animously (pink lemonade). The societal scene's changed. Original Gourmet Lollipops & Suckers have added all that there is into the unique of their candy, what which is gourmet to them, from their perspective, in their knowledge. Raspberry may be their tamest to blue, given the ubiquity.     


If need be nagging on the raspberry (taste), it is that tarty, rose-like concentration of a raspberry, on a candy for [blue raspberry] flavour. Nothing as to seeing blue raspberries, here. However there is a slight premonition of sour raspberry mixed with something matured, for the blue, raspberry coating with a spray of watermelon or ester.

P.S. The blue raspberry shines like a enigmatic stone, undefined, when rolled around it becomes like the rind of a watermelon, blue with rich white stripes, the cream (peaches and cream) sugar part of it showing through.

The dean approves- rainbow cake @ Dean & DeLuca

Monday, August 5   keyboard  


Sunny

 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! 


Lemon Meringue (SGD 7.00)

 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.  

Rainbow Cake Slice (SGD 7.00)

Though many ways for interpretation, bakehalf bake it ganache it birthday it, this is angel's entry by Dean & Deluca, to rainbow cake in Singapore, though Dean & Deluca departs from New York. The white vanilla-flavoured buttercream. However cherubic as it is casted by Dean & Deluca, the rainbow has been pertained to something. Sandwiched into 3, it is read the sweet and cherry ripe red of Froot Loops {red}, the tangy bursts of orange, yellow and green Froot Loops {orange, yellow, and green}, and the jacked up goodbye kisses of grape in the purple of Froot Loops {blue and purple}. Cake sponge fingers which remind you of the fruits!  

P.S. Dean & Deluca, why it would interject itself as one of another slice in the rainbow scene. {Rainbow cakes, infantine}. It then felled upon me because it is to sweeten it.

It's an Australia @ The House of Robert Timms

Friday, August 2   keyboard  


Cloudy


When its not small enough, there's Chinatown, Little Vietnam, Little India, Little Italy. Would we ever have a signature of our own? How about a tiny Australia? The true taste of the wild; not withholding, have a loin of kangaroo, stout braised, braised crocodile casserole, or kangaroo rendang. Catch your whole host of safari animals. The bizarre display. The House of Robert Timms.   


Savouries aside, when you are partially swept away by the bivalves and light bites, steak selection, all-day breakfast, and beer and coffee bar, you'd know that there are sweets at The House of Robert Timms. Those shared, interfusing terms- flourless cake, chocolate ganache, lamington, dip cookie, already so heavily accented in characteristic flavour, more in the chilled, where to go from here? 


Aussie's clotted and cream and glazed. But not so, there's a smear of colour there- rainbow, yes, in such uncomplicated yellow (?), brown (?), purple (?), red (?), pink (?), green (?). Torrent from the macaroons.


To think the mirage of paradise could be reproduced. The Classic (Macaroons)(rainbow)- in rose and lavender and choc mint and mango. Rainbow would not be stitched, without any one of the four in the quadruple. 


Choc Mint (SGD 6.00)

The urbane flavour from the tea leaves macaroons. One of the items that would get on your serving in the end. Be it a conspicuous sight, transplanted on top of counter; but French, painted eggshells, and it be Au Chocolat, or PAUL, having macaroons colossal. The usual seize. No longer a little loot, macarons. 


The colour of your salads. Telling, the pastry has a cripsy cookie shell, appropriately set, and the ice-white buttercream plenty, grand where the filling is substantial and not leaving sad pockets with you languishing a waste. A frosty floral of mint goes on the white, but a sweet ending, definitely.  

 P.S. You'd want to try them all (rainbow)- rose and lavender and choc mint and mango, but it's a misfortune. They are too big to swallow for a rainbow.
