If you were ever disappointed by tiny and dainty macarons, perhaps this FatFat-carons are right up your alley.
As its name suggests, these desserts — purportedly originating from Korea — are souped up versions of their dainty French counterparts. They are produced by local dessert shop Nanatang.
The range of flavours is quite wonderfully imaginative, including Orh Nee (Asian yam dessert), Milo Dinosaur, Durian Mochi, and, depending on your tolerance for weird combinations, ham and cheese.
Here's a full list of the flavours they offer: Strawberry Matcha Duo, Lychee Rose, Durian Mochi, Over The Rainbow Vanilla Cheese, Orh Nee, Classic Chocolate Rocher, Ham and Cheese, Passionfruit Chocolate Coconut, Gluten-Free Mint Chcocolate, and Milo Dinosaur.
This batch of 10 flavours were introduced in July 2020.
