The raindrop cake is definitely a fun addition to the vendors list, but I’m skeptical as to how long the appeal of this dish can last. Raindrop Cake Collective LLC filed as a Domestic in the State of California and is no longer active. The raindrop cake is interesting, but who wants to spend five dollars on something that isn’t particularly tasty and isn’t even filling? Eat those extra calories and spend that money on a The Good Batch icecream sandwich or Wowfull’s Hong Kong egg waffle (another newcomer to Smorgasburg). You go to Smorgasburg with your dietary concerns out the window in preparation of indulging in some awesome food. Also, the only similarity the cake has to mochi is that both are flat and circular. As a lover of desserts, the raindrop cake even calling itself a cake feels like a lie that stabs me right in the sweet tooth. Photo courtesy of Tim Ireland on Huffington Postĭarren Wong, the creator of the raindrop cake, states on the official raindrop cake website that it was inspired by the Japanese Mizu Shingen Mochi, which it essentially is, but it’s definitely not a cake as it lacks the fluffy or chewy texture you’d expect from a baked good. People who don’t have experience with traditional Japanese desserts may be excited by the interesting flavors of the soy powder and sweet syrup, but for people who have palettes for Asian desserts, you can’t avoid craving the familiar textural relationship between the chewy mochi and the nutty powder/sugary syrup.
It does make you feel like a bug eating a raindrop off a leaf, but aside from being kitschy, the cake didn’t offer much of a taste. The actual texture of the cake was similar to a very loose jelly that dissolved in your mouth, offering a slight sweetness but not much of a taste, and acted more as a vessel for the kuromitsu and kinako. Maybe it was the hype or maybe it was my familiarity with the toppings, but it didn’t feel ground-breaking like I had hoped (think ramen burger circa Smorgasburg 2014). I’ve had a lot of experience with kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) and kinako (roasted soy flour), the toppings the cake is served with, so I was curious to see how they tasted with a liquidy raindrop cake compared to a sticky ball of mochi.
(Any crystals left will make it gritty and will crystalize the syrup after it’s cooled. To make syrup, boil 100ml water and dissolve 200g of dark brown sugarcane. Pour into mold and let set for at least 2 hours. The whole alligator is for braver palettes, but the crispy grasshoppers truly take the cake for the strangest menu item in Chicago.For five dollars a pop, the raindrop cake came out glistening in the sunny NYC weather and was ready to be photographed and devoured by four avid Instagrammers. Let the boiled solution cool to about 150 F. The water cake and edible balloon are also some safer dessert options. If you’re an adventurous eater, try one of these strange menu items for a new burst of flavor (and bragging rights.) If you’re more hesitant to explore new flavors, we’d start with the ahi tuna and watermelon tostada, or Impossible Burger. So if you’re looking to trick yourself into being healthier, this vegetarian dish is perfect to try.
What you’re actually tasting and smelling, however, is plant-based proteins and potatoes. From the juicy smell to texture and taste, you’ll swear you’re cheating your diet. The Impossible burger has all the attributes of a beefy burger, without it actually being a beefy burger. It’s pretty ~impossible~ not to love our Impossible burgers! 🍔 | 📸: post shared by Umami Burger on at 12:02pm PDT
