Hello, as a foodie who likes to try all kinds of unknown delicacies, I have drank Laoshan Holy Water, and I can even swallow stinky tofu, durian, and Beijing bean juice without changing my expression.
It wasn’t until I fell into the trap of “Internet celebrity snacks” that I understood what gold and jade are on the outside and what’s lost on the inside.
Hokkaido desserts, recommended by big Vs, the same style as celebrities, must-haves for afternoon tea, all of them are very good-looking, ridiculously expensive, but taste so bad that it makes you want to cry.
Today I would like to share with you some of my favorite Internet celebrity delicacies. I wonder how many of them have your friends tried?
1. Pumpkin and egg pudding There is a layer of sweet pumpkin on the outside, wrapped in the so-called "egg pudding".
It has the taste of overnight sweet potatoes, cold and bland.
What about the milky and salted egg yolk flavors you mentioned?
After eating it, there was only a strong flavor of essence in my mouth, and the more I ate, the more disgusting it became. It was not as delicious as cooked pumpkin paired with freshly baked pudding.
2. Kobe Sky Strawberry Sandwich Chocolate is highly recommended by many Internet celebrities as a must-have snack for girls. It sells for 65 yuan. It is said that the moment you bite into it, you will feel like you are in love.
I don’t know if I’m in love or not, but after eating it, I looked very disappointed. I thought it was filled with fresh strawberries, but I didn’t know it was dried strawberries. The outer layer of chocolate was so sweet that it was so sweet.
3. Kracie deodorant candies are packaged with a girly touch. The candies are also sweet pink and exude the fragrance of roses. A bag only costs 10 yuan.
It is said that not only the whole body was eaten, but even the farts tasted like roses.
I bought five packs in a row with the intention of making myself smell better, but every time I chewed it, it felt like I was wearing perfume, which I didn’t like very much anyway.
4. Yogurt dumplings (green packaging) Dilireba’s favorite yogurt dumplings. A bag of yogurt dumplings sells for 14 yuan, and many stores are out of stock.
Addicted to Reba's beauty, I happily bought two bags of yogurt pimples.
The red one is barely edible, and the green one is simply a "biochemical weapon."
Its salty and sour taste is like a ball of dead noodles with a lot of salt and vinegar. It also has a strong mutton smell and almost no milk flavor. In comparison, I prefer Yili milk slices.
5. Starry sky lollipops are like candies from the fairy tale world. They are crystal clear and hide a fantasy starry sky. Many little girls can’t help but pay for them because of their good looks.
Opening the package and stuffing it into my mouth, I suddenly realized that it was a lollipop made of low-quality saccharin. It had only a tiny bit of sweetness and stained my mouth after eating it.
It sells for 12 yuan and tastes worse than a 5 cent lollipop. Sure enough, its only saving grace is its appearance.
6. Bocca balloon pudding produced in Hokkaido is a snack that can be played with and eaten. You can pop the package with a needle and experience the pleasure of being a grandma.
Although the texture is elastic and smooth, it is simply the sweetest snack I have ever tasted. Especially when topped with caramel sauce and caramel crumbs, it is so sweet that I get goosebumps after taking one bite. Moreover, it is slightly expensive, with four pieces in a box.
It costs 78 yuan.
7. Matcha Hot Pot When I saw Matcha Hot Pot, my little head was filled with questions: Can the person who invented this thing eat it?
The thick, green soup base is filled with the sweetness and bitterness of matcha, and just looking at it leaves a psychological shadow.
Add Oreos and taro balls, and you can also boil meat, vegetables, shrimps, and mushrooms. It’s really unbearable for you to turn a good hot pot into this.
After experiencing the severe beatings of "Internet celebrity food", I understand a truth: as long as the food is mainly formalistic as a gimmick, it is basically quite unpalatable.
The root cause of unpalatable food is that businesses focus more on publicity and profit instead of perfecting and improving the taste of the food itself.
It comes and goes quickly, and you can only rely on freshness to attract customers. It is inevitable that there will be a flood of negative reviews and it will not last long.
