Description
A delightful harmonious taste of yin-yang. Enjoy it.
What is Dragon ball?
East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.
-“The Ballad of East and West,” a poem by Rudyard Kipling.
The Dragon Ball pasty is not in agreement with this! Time has changed. The Dragon Ball Pasty in an expression of the meeting of cultures. An expression the fusion of yin and yang.
Dragon Ball, in its original form is a type of biscuit loved by the Chinese. It can be found in the far East like China, Hong Kong as well as in South-east Asia where there are Chinese communities. It is also known as Tau Sar Pneah (Hokkien dialect) or Tambun Biscuits in Malaysia. It is a famous Penang biscuit.
The biscuits are round and the size varies between a flattened tennis ball to as small as a flattened lime. It is sold in boxes and in the olden days, wrapped in paper in a long roll.
The filling is made of mung beans. It is sweet, yet salty. It personifies the duality of things: yin-yang, sweet-salty, east-west.
This biscuit has a British make-over.
Instead of the traditional Chinese flaky pastry, I use home-made puff pastry. The filling stays true to its original taste.
It beautifully describes what Nyonya culture is all about. The Chinese incorporating the Malay/Indian elements in their cooking and now I am incorporating the British element in it as well.
