When it comes to queueing, no country can beat Singapore. It all came to good use when we wanted to get our fill of these food fads.

1. Bubble tea
When the craze reached its peak, we couldn't walk 100 meters without bumping into yet another bubble tea stall.

2. Portuguese egg tarts
The eggy custard pastries were all the rage, especially when the Macau franchise hit our shores.

3. Coffee buns
Oh, Rotiboy! Are you Rotiman now?

4. Donuts
Just when we thought we were over them, Krispy Kreme came to town.

5. Cupcakes
This one happened recently, but perfectly legit grown-ups were goggle-eyed over them.

6. Mini melts
In the early 2000s there were tons of vending machines eagerly dispensing these tiny balls of icy goodness.

7. Floss buns
When BreadTalk first opened, these soft pork floss buns were sold out within minutes.

8. Tau huay
No one could resist the silky smoothness of churned tofu.

9. Kinder Bueno
Don't lie, you bought them by the box and even snuck these chocolate bars into the cinema.

10. Shaker fries
Society quickly became divided into seaweed versus spicy paprika. But we all shook them for "maximum powder distribution".

11. Truffle fries
Even though we've moved onto more chic things, we're still glad that every place still serves these up,

12. Apple strudel
Not sure why this old-timey Alpine dessert became so hip.

13. Cronuts
Our arteries sure are glad this donut-croissant hybrid obsession was short-lived.

14. Frozen yogurt
They made us feel like we weren't cheating on our diets.

15. Macarons
We were never more twee than when we were digging into flavors like rose, lavender and pink peppercorn.

16. Italian gelato
Ok, this one may reach the heights of popularity again when the Gelato World Tour descends on Marina Bay Sands.

17. Japanese cheesecake
When anything Japanese hits Singapore's shores, prepare for pandemonium.

18. Durian anything
Ice cream, puffs, cakes, custard and even creme brulee, Singaporeans can't seem to get enough of this stinky king of fruits.

19. Frappucinos
We unleashed our inner #basic girls when sipping on these.

20. Pizza Hut cheesy crust
These had to be inhaled before they hardened into a weird plasticky substance. Food coma usually followed.
