At the expense of alienating myself from the rest of Singapore, I must say I donāt get the hype over Llao Llao. Yes, Iāve tried it. And at best, the icy yogurt that reeks of skimmed milk is average. Itās not that cheap either so I canāt understand the never-ending queues for Llao Llao.
Sure, rainbow cakes are pretty and whimsical and all that. But beyond their pretty facade, often lies layers of dry and tasteless sponge sandwiched between artificial tasting buttercream. Youād think this fad would die out after people actually taste the cake. Sadly, it seems that whatever is instagrammable is here to stayā¦ regardless of how it tastes.
I understand why Westerners like coconut water. Their lack of readily available fresh coconuts make bottled coconut water a great alternative. But why Singaporeans prefer a processed, bottled option to fresh coconuts remains an unsolved mystery to me. Especially when we have free access to the best coconuts from Malaysia and Thailand.
Having eaten tons of red velvet cakes before, I really canāt tell the difference between a normal chocolate cake and a red velvet cake. The only saving grace of this over-hyped dessert is probably the cream cheese frosting. But who am I to tell everyone to stop eating their favourite chemically coloured dessert? Oh wait, thatās exactly what Iām doing right now.
Iāve lost count of how many salted egg dishes Iāve tasted over the year, itās on fries, crab, pasta, and everything under the sun! I know, itās delicious, but is it really necessary to pour it on everything and slap an SG50 label on it? I think I can make it official, salted egg is the new truffle oil of 2015.
