What if I told you dishwashing could be delicious?

Have you ever thought about eating a sponge soaked in soap.

Sounds crazy, right?

At Kantin in Jewel Changi Airport, that’s exactly what’s on the menu!

Except, it’s not what it seems. 

This dish is actually a cake that looks just like a cleaning sponge, complete with “soap suds” and all.

@kittybimbs Sponge tastes good 🧽😋 KANTIN 📍 Jewel Changi, 05-206 🤑 $18 #kantin #jewelchangi #jewelchangifood #aprilfoolsprank #sgdessert #borneofood #foodprank ♬ Funny video "Carmen Prelude" Arranging weakness(836530) – yo suzuki(akisai)

The magic behind this quirky cake?

It’s a lemon butter cake disguised as a sponge, with English orange marmalade and lemon foam. 

The cake’s texture and the tangy-sweet flavors cleverly play with your senses, making you forget it’s not an actual sponge.

The “dish soap”?

A tasty pandan lime syrup.

Diners are both bewildered and delighted by the realism, as the syrup adds a zesty kick that complements the cake’s flavors perfectly.

People are losing their minds over it.

Some TikTok users thought it was a joke at first.

With servers dressed like they’re ready to clean, who can blame them?

This cake is only available for a limited time in April. It’s a perfect April Fools’ prank that’s both sweet and sour!

So, if you’re in Singapore and have someone you want to trick or treat, you know what to do – and watch their faces when they bite into a “sponge.” 

Share this cool and interesting find with your friends and family!
