1. Lab Made Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Laboratory‘s Hong Kong Custard Bun Ice Cream. If you have a hard-on for Hong Kong Custard buns, you’ll love this. It tastes eggactly like a Lai Wong Bao and even has that grainy texture of salted duck egg yolk. AMAZING!

2. Le Salon Restaurant et Croissanterie‘s Salted Caramel Croissant filled with caramel cream finished with Maldon sea salt. Super flaky with creamy caramel oozing out of layers on layers of buttery goodness. The crunchy double-baked crust is coated with the perfect balance sweet caramel and salt flakes.

9. McDonald’s Horlick McFlurry with a Taro Pie. A DIY concoction involving a McFlurry consisting of regular McDonald’s soft serve mixed with loads of Horlick topped with wheat germ sprinkles. Add a fried taro pie and you’ve got yourself one of the cheapest and dopest desserts ever!
10. Mammy’s Pancake’s Chocolate Chip Egg Waffles. With each bite you get a mouth full of sweet crispy crunch, a hot chewy center and hints of melted chocolate.
