在我為數不多的作品中,已出現了第二次的豆花;主要是因為實在很喜歡豆花這樣清爽又能有豐富配料,且無需顧慮奶類與麩質的甜品。在南投風華月刊得知這家草屯的甜品店,一試成主顧;即使離家稍遠,已經再訪了多次。每家豆花各有特色,而這家豆花風格走細緻路線,清甜恰到好處,配料軟Q適中,嘗得到芋頭和地瓜的食材原味,自然甜美。

於是我選用了代針筆細細描繪其輪廓,再以水彩上色;最後用白墨筆補強次要反光處,並稍微點綴背景,呈現其在我心目中的整體感覺。少女般甜美、清新的風格,就是這家甜品給我的印象。仙草的香氣也很誘人,弟弟百吃不膩,而盡量避免寒涼食物的我,也忍不住嘗了一次,深受吸引。其他如抹茶、奶酪等品項只能內用,好期待嚐到的那一天!

In one of my few works, the second time tofu pudding has appeared. Mainly because it is refreshing and rich of ingredients, and without dairy and gluten that I have to worry about every time when having dessert. I knew this dessert shop because of the Nantou Fenghua Monthly, but I didn’t expect that I became a regular customer after trying it out. Each tofu pudding has its own characteristics, and the style of this one is meticulous. The sweetness is just right, but not too sweet or light; even the ingredients are soft and moderate, and I can taste the original flavor of taro and sweet potato, which is naturally sweet.

So I used a fineliner to draw its outline, and then painted it with watercolors. Finally, I used a white ink pen to reinforce the secondary reflections, and slightly embellished the background to present the overall feeling in my mind. The girly sweet and fresh style is what this dessert gave me. Its grass grass jelly is also very tasty, however other items such as matcha drinks and panna cotta are not for taking out. so I look forward to the day when I taste them in the shop!
