((Aside from the Hell herbs and flowers Kyung likely carries around in her backpack- She also likes to carry around a good supply of snacks that she obtains along her way up from the Seventh Circle.))

Soulsicle:

Debatably one of the most popular items Hell’s ice cream trucks distribute in the City of Dis, it is a solidified soulfruit sherbert creamsicle.  However, these are originally made in the Ninth Circle where it is always frozen.  Because of this, and the fact that Kyung’s backpack is a literal timeless void on the inside, it never melts.

Items from Hell-Mart:

Imp-Lolli: One of Kyung’s favorite candies.  It is very sour, and is imp cherry flavored.  Item is sold at the Beelzebub’s Delicacies shop.

Soul-Sucker: A popular item in the Beelzebub’s Delicacies shop, and lasts for quite a long duration of time.  It’s essentially a jawbreaker on a stick, don’t bite down on it.

Devil’s Food Pudding: A highly decadent chocolate pudding made with the finest ingredients Hell has to offer.

Devil Crisps: Extremely spicy chips that are coated in the powder of roasted Reaper peppers.  The chips themselves are a charcoal black color, and have a texture to that of stale chips even when the bag is new when opened.

Bloodberries & Cream chocolate: One of the black goat’s milk chocolate varieties.  It has a mocha-like flavor, creamy and smooth texture, and a metallic aftertaste.

Imp Cherry chocolate: One of the black chocolate varieties that is flavored with imp cherry juice.  While smooth, it is much more bitter, and tart.

Minotaur Horn: A highly popular puff pastry that is made with a somewhat dense, but oddly fluffy cream filling.  Due to their large size, however, they tend to be a bit more costly.

Eve’s Apple Fritter: One of the kinds of doughnuts that can be found at Hell-Mart as a simple pick-me-up.  It has an Eve’s apple and scorpion tail powder filling with a glaze.

Popular Taiwanese bakery Kazo arrives in Singapore on 5th January 2018 at ChinaTown Point!

Serving their most popular Kazu Kazu, Cream Puffs, Polo Buns and other snacks, Kazo’s parent brand Nichifu is renowned for its long queues in Taiwan and high quality, Japanese influenced products.

Ringing true to Taiwan’s reputation of producing some of the world’s best snacks, Kazo, which hails from parent Taiwanese brand Nichifu, will be opening their first store in Singapore at ChinaTown Point on 5th January 2018. An instant hit since it served its first cream puff in 2014, Nichifu has seen long queues of people from all over the world waiting for a chance to savour their renowned baked treats. With Singaporeans having a reputation for being major foodies and a soft spot for Taiwanese goodies, Kazo will cater to the local demands for an authentic Taiwanese snack within our very own country.

Abiding by its Japanese heritage, Kazo believes in simplicity and quality. To uphold the standards and tastes of its Taiwanese counterparts, every ingredient Kazo uses is flown in from Taiwan on a regular basis to ensure freshness. Kazo’s products are also deliciously balanced instead of overwhelming in taste, with flavours that complement each other for a more pleasurable palate.

Danish Polo

Available in Original, Salted Egg, Hokkaido Cream and Ice Cream, Kazo’s Danish Polo exemplifies the perfect union between Japanese intricacy and Danish baking style. Encapsulated within a freshly baked flaky croissant, the moist and smooth filling gives the treat a mouth watering combination of textures and flavours that harmonises beautifully with each other. A millennial favourite would be the innovative Salted Egg option, which hints of subtle sweetness on top of the ever likeable salted egg taste notes.

Kazu Kazu

Named after the brand itself, Kazu Kazu has both Hokkaido Cream and Chocolate fillings for fans of both variations. Crunchy to the bite, the hollowed out crust is light and fluffy, pairing it perfecty with the generous, flavourful filling. Opt for Chocolate if you want something more intense – the authentic cocoa taste finds the balance between sweet and bitter in seamless fashion.

Kazo’s Kazu Kazu is available at $3.50 each.

Cream Puff

The bestseller to date, Kazo’s Cream Puff is a work in itself. Having taken years to perfect the puff, it prides itself in its signature crispy texture coupled with a soft and tender inside. Filled to the brim with either Hokkaido Cream or Chocolate filling options, the combination will appeal to even the pickiest eaters. Served in munch sizes, there is no better snack on the go and its popularity is its very own testament.

Kazo’s Cream Puff is available at $1.50 each.

Cheese Tart

Simplicity at it’s best. Any baker worth his salt should be able to execute the basics flawlessly, and Kazo’s Cheese Tart represents just that. With a crumbly crust and hearty dollop of cheese that tantilizes the tastebuds, this innovative reinvention of an old school classic is sure to please the child in all of us.

Kazo’s Cheese Tart is available at $3.20 each.

Aside from snacks, Kazo will also be introducing Kazo Man – choice of either Matcha Latte or Organic Soya Bean drink served in a quirky, collectable bottle available for a limited period only.

CHUCK THAT KIWI : CHECK THESE NATIVE FRUIT INSTEAD

From the Himalayas to the tropical south, we are lucky to be blessed with a variety of climatic conditions that allow fruit from all over the world to find a home. India holds the distinction of being the world’s second largest producer of fruit, and are now the world’s top producer of several fruit, including guava and banana — neither of which are indigenous to India.

Sure, we are lucky to have the 'King of Fruit' be native to our country, along with the coconut and even the pomegranate, but we (and the plant kingdom) accepted globalisation a long time ago. Neither the onion, garlic nor chilli are native to this country, having *only* reached some 5000 years ago.

And so it is with our fruit.

Our world was a mash-up of food, culture, plants and people centuries before the Internet and 'neo-globalisation'. The idea of a 'pure' race, species or culture is, at best, imaginary. Nonetheless, we have a treasure chest of indigenous fruits that are often, too 'inconvenient' to be mass produced, due to either a short shelf life, annoying seeds, or a long gestation period. But they hold within them the stories of our ancestors, of our land and our culture. They need to be saved, if only to maintain the intricate cycles of biodiversity that we, and our planet, thrive on.

PHALSA Grewia asiatica Phalsa is a small berry in a gorgeous plum colour, with a hard shell that hides white, grape-like flesh inside. The berry is sweet, but balanced with astringent, acidic and sour notes, or the flavours of cranberry, grape and jamun. Unsurprisingly, given the fruit’s arrival during the scorching months of summer , it acts as a coolant and is used to treat dehydration.

Peak season Phalsa is a summer fruit, and is readily available from March to June acorss the country. The harvesting season however, is short, lasting only three weeks.

How to cook it Phalsa sherbet is a legendary summer drink employing its tart flavour and anti-coolant properties to full effect. It is, however, exceptionally difficult to de-seed. Traditionally, the fruit is soaked overnight in a shallow bowl of water, squished by hand, and then passed through a sieve. Once juiced, it is easy to make the delicious syrup that has long been a delicacy in northern India. It is often used as a substitute in recipes that call for black currant.

Flavour complements Cranberry, strawberry, mulberry, cherry, jamun, tomato, mint, bananas, lamb/game, pinot noir, chocolate, salt.

Growing the fruit at home The phalsa tree is a drought-resistant, hardy plant that can grow in most kinds of soil. Because it is more of a shrub, and the flowers are beautiful, it makes for an excellent house-plant.

WATER CALTROPE (SINGHADA) Trapa genus Contrary to popular belief, singhada is not the water chestnut. Though they look and behave extremely similar, the true singhada is far more sinister — winged like a bat, it is extremely poisonous when raw.

Though not of the same family, the water chestnut could be called a close 'family friend'. Fresh chestnuts are flavourful: sweet, nutty and tart, flavoured like a cross between coconut and apple. Water chestnuts are a staple in Chinese cooking, often found in stir-fries and wantons. Seeds of some species of these nuts are preserved in honey and sugar, and candied.

Singhada or water caltrope however, is darker, and has a nutty flavour, reminiscent of chestnuts, brazil nuts and peanuts, with a hint of sweetness. Its texture is starchy and crumbly.

Peak season Not unlike other shelled nuts, caltrops are an autumn and early winter treat. They are most often planted in June, and bear fruit in November.  

How to cook it They are either boiled or slow-dried and roasted before opening. Be warned that opening and extracting the meat is a time-consuming task. Traditionally, the fruit is dried and ground to a flour called singhare ka atta, used in many religious foods and ubiquitous in the phalahar (fruit diet) during the navratas. There are also several versions of a singhada ki sabzi made around the country, putting its starchy fullness to good use.

Flavour complements Star anise, mango, pepper, bacon, Indian masalas, soya, garlic, vinegar, mayonnaise, spinach, green onions, asparagus, onions, oyster sauce,  prawn, chicken, beef, pork.

Growing the fruit at home Water chestnuts are easy to grow in any container that holds water. Seed tubers directly into soil and fill with water. You will have to uproot the plant to harvest, since the nuts are the root of the plant.

STARFRUIT Averrhoa carambola

Green and firm when raw, and a subtle yellow with 'burnt' edges when ripe, this fruit is named for the star-shaped discs it yields when sliced. The fruit is fragile but crunchy to the bite, a watery hybrid between grape and pear. Ripe starfruit are mildly sweet, with sugar content that hovers at about 4%, and a tart, sour undertone. Unripe starfruit are firm and sour, and taste very much like green apples.

A variant of the starfruit is the Indian variety of bilimbi. This fruit is far more acerbic, and without the five ridges that lend its cousin a visual edge. Bilimbi lemonades are famous and the fruit is often used in chutneys, pickles and jams.

Peak season Star fruit season is year-round, although they flourish during two particular times of the year: September through October, and January through February.

How to cook it The starfruit has travelled far and wide, and both raw and ripe varieties are used all over the world. They are used in relishes in Australia, consumed dried in Jamaica, and used in Thailand and China to cook alongside shrimp and fish. Many in India use raw star fruit as a substitute for tamarind, even using it to make a starfruit rasam. Both ripe and raw starfruit are great in salads, particularly on Asian-inspired menus. They also make for great desserts when stewed. The starfruit is presently going through a renaissance on the cocktail front, and many bars in India have wholeheartedly embraced the fruit.

Flavour complements The duality of starfruit is in its mild flavor. Although too subtle on its own, the fruit's delicate  flavour lends itself to pairings very well. See: Bilimbi, kiwi, pineapple, orange, banana, strawberry, cacao, cashew apple, guava, citron, coconut, cucumber, kokum, kumquat, lemon, lime, lychee, mango, mangosteen, nungu, papaya, passion fruit, pomegranate, pomelo, rambutan, amla, sweet lime.

Vegetables: Tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, celery root, celery stalk, cabbage, radish, shredded raw papaya, shredded raw mango, kimchi, onion.

Herbs, oil, and spices: The star fruit is well complemented by most nuts and seeds, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, lemongrass, chilli, turmeric, coriander, cumin, black pepper, basil, mint, liquorice, anise, clove, nutmeg, cardamom, saffron, vanilla, black tea, green tea, sugar syrup, jaggery, agave, vodka, rum, white wine, champagne, ginger, sesame oil, coconut oil, coconut milk.

Growing the fruit at home The ‘Maher Dwarf’ variety bears small to medium-sized fruit on a three-foot tall tree. Its beautiful pink flowers make it a pretty addition to any garden, even when the fruit is not in season.

BAEL (WOOD APPLE) Limonia acidissima As the name suggests, this fruit literally looks like an apple made out of wood. Its hard, wood-like exterior conceals a creamy orange pulp.

Its flavour is sweet, pungent and lemony, with a pleasantly fermented aftertaste. When raw, it can be compared with the tamarind. The texture of its flesh is granular and fibrous, yet damp and sticky. Its numerous tiny, hard seeds require no spitting or removal. You will know the fruit has ripened when you catch a whiff of its unique aroma: a fermented sweetness, similar to raisins or blue cheese!

Peak season India’s bael season is February through May.

How to cook it A few soft, consistent blows with a heavy knife around the middle will help open the fruit. Raw wood apple is often used as a substitute for tamarind in chutneys, and in a delicious Andhra pachadi with yogurt and chillies. The ripe fruit can be used in a variety of desserts — from pancakes to custard, panna cotta and ice cream.

Flavour complements Tamarind, orange, lemon, lime, kumquat, vanilla, coconut milk, dairy products, chilli, fennel, pepper, nuts.

Growing the fruit at home The wood apple tree, grown from seed, can take up to 15 years to fruit. They grow into large, shade-giving trees — perfect for the dry plains that they are native to.

KARONDA Carissa carandas A nutrition-heavy wild berry, the karonda is an olive-shaped fruit with tiny seeds at its core. These pinkish-white berries are sour with the dry astringent taste of jamun. They do have a slight, almost-salty taste that lends it the depth of umami. Extremely addictive when sprinkled with a bit of rock salt.

The natal plum (Carissa spinarum), bears close resemblance in name, appearance and lineage, and cause many to mistake karonda for its sweeter cousin.

Peak season Fruit harvest is August through October, though unripe fruit gets plucked from May to June.

How to cook it   In India, karonda has traditionally been relegated to the pickles-&-chutney aisle. However, in its ripe form, the karonda has now become commercially viable as India's answer to the maraschino cherry. They are also a great substitute for recipes that require cranberries, turning a tender, luscious purple as they ripen. A great source of natural pectin, these berries also make for great  jams and sweet pickles. When sweetened in brown sugar, clove, and cinnamon, karondas can substitute apple in tarts and pies. For a more modern riff, they are great addition in salsas; their flavours balancing well with avocado and lime.

Flavour complements Cranberry, raw mango, amla, orange, lemon, pear, ricotta, almonds, tamarind paste, turmeric, chili, garam masala, parsley, fenugreek, asafoetida, coriander, lime, mustard seed, garlic, vinegar, salt, curry leaves, white wine, nutmeg, anise.

Growing the fruit at home Karonda is a perennial evergreen that is often used as spiny ornamental plant with beautiful jasmine-like white flowers. It grows well in most parts of India.

BUDDHA'S HAND Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis India is one of only three countries in the world that grow this fruit, and we must start putting it to good use. This intriguing fruit has no pulp, juice, and or seeds. It wholly consists of rind – but oh, what a rind it is.

On her website, chef Julie Logue-Riordan writes about cooking with the zest, describing overtones of  ‘coconut, macadamia nut, banana, light caramel and cinnamon.’ Buddha’s Hand also trumps other kinds of citrus in that it lacks bitterness, and the zest can be used whole.

Peak season Buddha’s hand season is in the winter, from November through January.

How to cook it You can substitute this fruit in any recipe calling for a lemon zest, but its complexity carries it far beyond the call of duty. A teaspoon of finely ground rind can go into tea, smoothies, juice, or even plain water. Same with alcohol infusions (Buddhacello!). It also makes for delicious vinaigrettes, marinades for tofu and fish, in soy dips, tamarind pastes and date-based sweet glazes.

Flavour complements Fruits All citrus fruit, passion fruit, apricot, peach, fig, pomegranate, cacao, bel, date, wood apple, kiwi, kokum, tamarind, kumquat, sea buckthorn, mango.

Vegetables: Bell pepper, tomato, bamboo, asparagus, fiddlehead fern, beans, raw papaya, leeks, cucumber.

Herbs, spices, and oil: Vanilla, cocoa, jasmine, orange blossom, mint, honey, coconut oil, white wine, vodka, amaretto, rum, olive oil, mustard, wasabi, thyme, lavender, lemongrass, green tea, black tea, miso, ginger, coriander, chilli.

Growing the fruit at home The Buddhas Hand is often planted as an ornamental tree in gardens, patios and terraces. It grows best in temperate conditions. Trees can be grown from cuttings of branches that are two to four years old.

TAARGOLA Borassus flabellifer This coconut-like fruit has a tough, black shell. It cuts like a coconut on the top, to reveal three translucent, sweet, jelly seed sockets, like lychees with no pit. Inside, this pod is a refreshing, sugary liquid similar to coconut water.

Peak season Palm fruit season is perfectly timed for the hot summers in South India from May through August.

How to cook it Its sweetness and gelatinous texture makes it a popular choice for sweet dishes from around India — it is delicious deep-fried in flour or rice batter. Thai pancakes are made from its flesh; it is also used in milkshakes, smoothies and juices. The jelly part of the fruit is covered with a thin, yellowish-brown skin that can even be eaten raw, boiled, or roasted.

Flavour complements Coconut, lime, mango, pineapple, papaya, jackfruit, sweet lime, orange, pomegranate, lychee, longan, kiwi, apple, pista, guava, dairy, avocado, rice, almond, cardamom, rose water, saffron, jaggery, pistachio, basil.

Growing the fruit at home Taargola grows on large, beautiful palm trees, which will be difficult in a balcony, but do very well in even a tiny garden space.

MYSORE RASPBERRY Rubus niveus The Mysore raspberry grows rampantly, but is hard to find in markets because of its high perishability. They do freeze well though, and will keep up to a year.

Unlike other variants of raspberry, the Mysore raspberry is red when unripe, and slowly shifts to a gorgeous, deep blue before settling on a rich purple hue. Taste-wise, they are more delicately flavoured than their more famous siblings, the raspberry and blackberry.

Peak season Mysore raspberries grow year-round, but the berries peak from May through July.

How to cook it In India, they are mostly just eaten straight off the plant. Mysore raspberry can be used as a substitute for any recipe calling for red raspberries and blackberries.

Flavour complements Apricot, cherry, fig, grape, date, plum, pomegranate, balsamic vinegar, basil, sage, mint, citrus, cinnamon, clove, ginger, cardamom, rose, port, red wine.

Growing it at home Mysore raspberries can easily be grown in your balcony garden, and often grow so profusely they will have to be constantly pruned to prevent overgrowth. Watch out for the spiny thorns, that are sometimes even on the leaves.

One of the more unique offerings found at Karamell-Küche are the Caramel Bacon Squares. Each square contains Werther’s Original caramel and bits of bacon both inside and out. My personal favorite is the Turtle candy which is caramel with pecans with both covered in chocolate. Yummy!
