Panya Bakery

My test drive of the Chowhound Manuel. "the sweet potato mousse" was the suggested dish, and so I went verbetum. First of all, God Bless Asian Bakeries. Do you know what the mousse came in? A clear baby cylinder with a little panya sticker! They package food cuter than babies. Seriously if everything in the world was packaged this cute, the world would probably just explode. Seriously, though, I'm totally keeping this to keep jewelery in. Alright, I knew this wasn't going to be a traditional mousse...but I wasn't really prepared for the taste. It was subtle. It tasted slightly like the mousse in tirimisu with a smooth custard texture, for lack of a better comparison, but a little bit of a vanilla-rum flavor. And of course chunks of sweet potato in the pudding and grapes on top. The flavor is hard to recall, perhaps because I've never met anything quite like it. I think it's one of those foods you don't think about until you are crazy hungry. You get a mad craving for it and instantly remember what it tastes like. Alot of foods are like that for me. Did someone say Ginger Hot Chocolate. Yeah I didn't like it at first, but now I crave it every 5, no make that 2 minutes. P.S. I got a Chai, and they are DE-Licious!!Peace out.
