Salted egg yolk

Avocado
This creamy fruit is in high demand as consumers have become less afraid of eating beneficial high-fat foods. Part of its popularity is due to the fact that they are nutrient-dense, with nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Avocado toast has become extremely popular and they are so instagrammable that #avocadotoast has over 235,000 posts. Apart from toast, avocados are also increasingly featured in restaurants and cafes as dipping sauces and drinks.
Try these and you might just attract a bigger crowd and create more buzz for your outlet – avocado burger bun, avocado dip for french fries and avocado with chocolate syrup smoothie.
Green tea (matcha)
The word matcha means “ground” or “powdered tea,” which sets it apart from tea that is infused in water. Matcha is packed with anti-oxidants and polyphenols that can help protect against heart disease and cancer, detoxify and boost metabolism, among others. Matcha latte is fast being included in the beverage menu of coffeehouses.
Creations to keep your menu interesting and on-trend could be matcha chia pudding with berries, matcha pasta and matcha coconut pancakes.

Soft shell crab is no longer just prominently featured in Japanese restaurants. Today, you can find it in fried rice, laksa, burgers and pasta. The list grows longer by the day!
