Eggette- egg|baguette from Bo Ji



Fair

Speciality street foods. Of Hong Kong speaking about its lifestyle and mentality; what are the people thinking about. A stall at Raffles City basement means it has a statement to make, about this kind of food on a southeast-asian Singapore stage.



So what is so unique about this food? It is just an universal concept, 'asian'-themed slushies teamed with munchies for a bite.

Eggette (Green Tea) (SGD 3.80 + 0.50)

An eggette is still something unknown to the world, non-existent in the archives of Wikipedia(?). Still, it is something very intriguing, be it its term or the presentation itself.


For eggette, the stall-tender folds heaped spoonfuls of green tea powder into the batter, before cooking it in a golf ball-textured mould. Resulting in a crispy toasted yet also soft and undulating dough compound.

P.S. The air pockets. Bubble foam signifying the termination; mere puffs of our transient lives(?). The crispy somewhat simulates the sweetness and texture of kuih kaput(love letter), and it is acrid bitter, slightly of the stinging nettles of green tea. Double-double consonants. Like coffee. That fuzzy wuzzy would like.
