Hokkaido Pumpkin Croquette

There's a new Japanese bento stall in the Takashimaya basement, Singapore, and from my experience, the food is awesome! The Singaporean cashier speaks Japanese, and the 2 chefs I saw were Japanese. So it's authentic. They also sell croquettes and onigiri!

Aside from a bento that I got, I added on this Hokkaido pumpkin croquette because I'd never tried it before.
It looked like an ordinary circular croquette on the outside.
In short, it was awesome! The pumpkin was very smooth, buttery and sweet. Yet, the pumpkin mix was also savoury. And I'm sure there was some onion in the pumpkin mix too... possibly shallots, but I'm not sure. It just reminded me of an onion taste.
But the pumpkin mix filling was a vibrant orangey yellow and appetising.
There were also these nice green streaks of pumpkin skin inside, which gave it a nice contrast of colours against the orangey-yellow pumpkin. And I suppose it gives you more roughage too.
