Was it in 2006? Or 2007? I discovered you in a Japanese restaurant, and I glanced at you thinking that you weren’t very delectable and pushed you away for other meatier stuff. After all, you were just a bean.
You appeared before me, over and over again after that. You didn’t give up. Soon, it wasn’t just at Japanese restaurants. It was also at friends’ parties and supermarkets. I have to give it to you, you were persistent.
My first taste was with hesitation. I licked you. You were salty. I bit into you. You came into my mouth. It was love at first bite. You are a little…nutty.
I like you, Edamame. You may be Japanese, but I am colour blind.
Sensations spilling forth like
Beans into a filled glass. . I’m inebriated
By the combination of
Martini and soy. .
Variety bordering on risqué
Makes a better tale. .
Or of the man who brings
Love in a cupcake? . You envelope me
In sunshiny coconut
And edamame .
On grainy wooden floors seasoned
With life’s experience. .
Like the soil of the earth
Not cold hard coloured stones. .
I taste your saltiness
You energise me. .
Can you hear it thump thumping
My Edamame? .
A badly written haiku by LL, dedicated to you, who left 10 years ago. We were colour blind.

You very free hor
Writing haiku for a bean
Go load pix for me.

Forget about haikus, whose temple of a sweet body is that with all them kacang hijau scattered all over? O do tell… 😉
oh dear, they even hopped on to the cupcakes !!
very pretty color of green i must said ^_^
oh mah mame!!! u and hairy posting on the same topic? ooops, it only SO happens i went to his post first, cos H is before A…I mean W. As in Hairy before Whiff…
Omigoodness, how on earth did you get so many bean photos? I mean, any OTHER blogger I’d have considered maybe they got it off an image bank, but I know you wouldnt have, being the queen DSLR that you are, but my goodness, to have a whole photo shoot dedicated to a bean!!!! I should rename you Jack!!!! gorgeous photos as usual. I bow till my nose touches the ground….and hear my back give way…
haiku is “5 syllabled 1st phrase, 7 syllabled 2nd phrase, and 5 syllabled 3rd phrase ?” I haven’t heard of that in years ! 🙂
I love edamame .. 🙂
hahah yes..same as kenny..who was that willing model??..
Hmm, edamame jewellery… cool, can snack when hungry and refill… I think I shall send this to my designer, might end up a bestseller, no? Instead of just pendant can add ring and earrrings to make a set. Or for those with huge appetite, a necklace with edamame that goes all round. Hahaha…
wow…you really do love edamame…I wrote a love letter to garlic on my blog once…but my photos were no where as near as elaborate as yours…gorgeous photos!!
Crack of Dawn? Hahah.. I wuv my edamame too.. am waiting with bated breath for the answer to kenny’s question 😉
wow! what a way to introduce edamame…and so very creatively so 🙂 (especially the edamame necklace, where do you get that?)
WOMAN! These shots are incredible!! I esp like the one with the half-nekkid lady… (I know, I have a fetish for ladies’ bare backs. Particularly those that stretch all the way down to just above the curve of the butt. I’d like to have a shot of myself like that one day. While the curve is still up there..).
*bows with FBB until the forehead scrapes the floor*
i jus move from hairy blog and i saw urs on the same topic..definitely more colorful..from plates to martini to cupcakes to accessories..never knew peas seems so useful
The last sexy photo is u? ^.^
i love that shot with the ballet slippers. A simple twist away frm the usual food post-I like!
Hmm… not bad eh. Can fool people so they think it’s a piece of high quality jadeite from far :p
geez…both kenny and nipples have steadies and yet they still ask you about the soft porn model.
was it at Iketeru when you had your first taste of fugu?
MIGF session this year? (just to make up for last year)
Wa-wah, the pictures are very Kenny the Mah. The words are all Lyrical (must throw in the ‘came in my mouth’, hah? Naughty girl!).
Very nice pic. I like the edamame pendant. Where to get? Or should it be, how to make?
Glorious People of AD:
Yes I very free
Haiku is my middle name
After lemongrass.
Life for Beginners: The “body” is that of my latest makan club member – Chanting Chewbacca! Eats well and exercises well. hahaha.
ling239: Yeah, I love the colour. Better than stones, I tell ya!
fatboybakes: I dedicated a whole morning to the photoshoot. It was a lot of fun trying to think of creative ways to present edamame! Btw, your post on edamame is hilarious!! I think I wet my pants!!!
milochel: Correct! You know your haiku. 🙂 I love edamame too. Had some for dinner last night.
lotsofcravings: See reply to kenny. Will bring her along one day for one of our makan sessions.
Barbie: It was quite a challenge making the edamame necklace coz the edamame would shrink after a couple of hours! That’s what happens when you use “living objects” as adornments. 😛
Alexandra: Thanks! We all have our quirks, don’t we? 😛 Btw, I love garlic too. Baked, sauted, roasted….all good!!
Unkaleong: Yeah, had to wake up early for this photoshoot to get the right lighting – notice the first pic, how the light hits the edamame. 😛 I’ve also answered Kenny’s question…see above.
sc: Thanks! I made the edamame necklace. Jewellery making is one of my passions too. 🙂
kat: Thank you!! And woman, you still have your curves lar. Next time we do photoshoot of you, k? What food item would you like to work with? hehehe.
christine: Thanks for dropping in!! Yeah, I love brilliant colours, and I feel the edamame has a wonderful sheen that works well with any background. Anyway, I’ve always loved green!
mimid3vils: I wish!! Hehe. No lar…that’s my makan kaki – Chanting Chewbacca (profile will be up soon!)
daphne: Yeah, my makan club members are multi-talented. They don’t just eat. hehe. Thanks…glad u enjoyed the post!
jason: Ya hor…next time don’t have to spend so much on expensive jewellery, eh? So, you want me to make you a ring when you propose next time? 😛
Henry Yeo: Boys will be boys. I don’t blame them. This girl’s hot. Yes, first fugu at Iketeru, but not the last. MIGF? Dunno wor. There’s still ramadhan month to go first.
Argus can’t pack so much chocs: Aiyoh….I didn’t know there was any resemblance to Kenny Mah, the great photo distorter! 😛 Thanks Argus…can’t wait to see ya soon!
Precious Pea: Glad you like the pendant. Can teach you how to make, but if you like, can use real precious stones. hehehe.
“You came into my mouth. ”
hmmmm…….*these innocent ears/eyes are innocent*
i like the martini shots the most. it’s like a view through a cctv, surreal yet indulging. reminds me of “after dark” by murakami, somehow.
beautiful.
I did a SATC quiz, and it says I’m Charlotte. I dowan to be Charlotte. I wanna be Samantha, take nekkid photos and have a stud muffin.
We can work with muffins during our shoot.. heehee
gasp! all these for kacang hijau masin.
Cik Serai cukup bosan
Kompose haiku untuk kacang
Mari mari Hayashi San
Cubalah martini kat Brinchang
I shall include Edamame for my makan outing this weekend. LOL.
Y’know, the more I think of it, the more I want to take those pictures. I’d be really comfortable with you, and you are an excellent photographer. Wanna accept my commission? That can be my 40th birthday present to myself.. Right after I get that tattoo..
One haiku made my Hair(y) stand while another a Whiff of sensual delight.
Bloggers have come a long way from being just bored unintelligent housewives and those who just wanna book air tickets.
so are we goin to makan makan soon??…my camera is all “elongated” and ready on standby AHAHAH…
Hairy: Who you trying to con? LOL. I like the martini glasses too, and best of all, drinking it all up when the photoshoot was done. 😛 Oh we ate the edamame too. And durians. You’d have loved the durians, Hairy. I haven’t read After Dark yet, but now that I’m acquainted with Murakami, I think I know what you mean. And thanks. 🙂
kat: Ooooh, you’re a Samantha alright! Looks like I have a few more years yet to source for some stud muffins for you, eh? (Do they differ from poodles?)
keropokman:
Aku terharu
Martini, ‘bang, di Brinchang?
Bukan kacang panjang?
There, haiku in Malay for you. 😀
kat: Wah, thanks for your faith in me! Must start practising di. Any volunteers out there? 😛 Errr…tattoo? Make sure something ganas! hehe.
Tummythoz: Glad you found us entertaining. We aim to please. I’m glad we don’t fall in the category of unintelligent housewives or air ticket bookers.
lotsofcravings: Wait la…both of us are down with the flu and need time to recover. Down boy! 😛
LL: bring nipple’s gf. she will make him sit down properly.

Now, I won’t lost at finding places to dine. Time to download KL map 🙂 Oh, btw you and your friends are wonderful lots…I enjoyed reading your blog 😉
Henry: Joe’s a big boy. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.
