Night
In its beaming pride the matcha green coat, the buns now come emblazoned in pink flower presses.
Hanami Sakura Bun (pink) and Hanami Matcha Bun (SGD 1.40 ea)
In commemoration of the season of the cherry blossoms, where it is a grave error to have the flower heads littered all over the ground. Food buns demarcated with the petals, what is the intention? To pique interest in what is a sakura/matcha bun, the fillings to go inside with a sakura flower bread.
It is chewy mochi fancied with the carbohydrate yeasty dough of japanese recipe. Something predictable of the fusion japanese/japanese, packing the present of a mochi confectionery within the honestness of bread. The mochi stretchy and sticky, a flowery flavour with deep pink hue and strawberry taste for the sakura bun, and a sweet, lingering gel-like mochi for the matcha bun.
P.S. Gooey, almost like pastes themselves. Polarity of the consistencies (bread and mochi) canceling out each other's mass, making it almost weightlessness yet hearty a bun. The bun, cake (rice), and topping (sakura flower). Incongruent imageries to which component defines the matcha/sakura, yet one knows the it is the mochi (and most likely flower) pressed to pay tribute (pictorial) to the custom of hanami.
