Mango buckwheat bar

Inspiration:
The 2019 JCM theme ‘Thriving Nature’.
The decoration is another of my visions of thriving nature; it represents a tiger. 13 lines on top are here for a reason. 13 is the numbers of countries where you can find some natural tigers.
My Mango Buckwheat snacking bar also adds complementary flavours to my exotic plated dessert from the Junior Chocolate Masters competition.
