“I present to you honey passion nectar with ethereal exploding white peach boba."
The rare nectar was another luxury courtesy of the Celestial Banquet. At the auction house, it would command at least three hundred silver coins by the jar. The taste was a perfect amount of sweetness tempered by a sharp tang. The nectar came from pink and blue tropical flowers found only on Mutyan soil. Perfume from its petals were a noble favorite on the Continent.
On the other side of the table, Songwon whispered to Pubu.
The goddess lifted her wrist and made a spinning motion with her index finger.
A golden ribbon of nectar flowed out of the bowl to hover above our heads and make a looping chain design, with one end dipping into the smaller bowl of the boba. The nectar took the shape of a stairway to carry a string of obedient pink boba upward into the suspended design. The air filled with the fragrance of the honey passion mingled with the soft scent of white peaches.
One by one, each of the boba exploded into tiny pink blooms like New Year's sparklers above the petal cups.”

“Tempura of orange pumpkin brought still crackling from the kitchen; slices of yellowtail sashimi in a puddle of sesame sauce; grilled bamboo shoots on a wooden skewer and a dish of rice porridge. There is grilled cod's roe with a pin's point of fresh wasabi, pickled butterbur buds and the earliest fiddlehead fern, simmered in dashi broth and curled up like a caterpillar. A pale-blue dish is filled with mustard greens and ground sesame.
As the light lifts, the room fills with weak and watery sunshine and I am brought a bowl of suitably pale miso broth with matchsticks of dried nori and balls of chewy white mochi. As I lay down my chopsticks a pudding appears of green-tea blancmange with two rust-red goji berries. Dessert for breakfast is something I can get on top of.”
