Restaurant goes viral for serving up the world's most ‘disgusting pudding' – can you tell what's wrong?
A RESTAURANT has gone viral after serving up 'detergent sponges' and 'dishwater' as deserts. The weird desserts served at KANTIN at The Granary in Malaysia aren't actually cleaning supplies and dirty water - they are actually edible desserts and drinks.

And when it is served, it even includes the soapy suds and a garnishing of detergent, that looks like washing up liquid. But all of this is actually edible. The dessert consists of a yellow and green sponge cake, cleverly decorated to look like a dish-cleaning sponge.

To go with the dessert, guests get a complimentary cup of 'dishwater' that servers claim is 'curry flavoured' due to the staff just having their team meal - which was a chicken curry. In reality, the drink is a mix of turmeric, ginger water and coconut oil .

You got the lil foam on it too!" The dessert - originally part of an April Fool's prank offering - will be served in the restaurant until the beginning of June. 'World's best burger' finally returns to UK after nearly a DECADE of fans begging 'this is a need, not a want' The dessert also only costs £4.73.

This restaurant is serving kitchen sponges & dirty sink water — and people are actually eating it
With a heart as pure as mine, April Fools is a yearly nightmare. Imagine falling for the same recycled lies again and again — all for the sake of a 'holiday.' And just when I thought the chaos was over, bam — KANTIN at The Granary in Sarawak and Jewel Changi in Singapore decided to dial it up with their dishwater and kitchen sponge combo. For RM27, you'll be treated to what looks like a classic lime green dishwashing sponge, soaked in suspiciously soapy suds, complete with bubbles for that oh-so-luxurious mouthfeel. You can even request a shot of extra detergent — straight from the bottle, darling. Now, I know what you're thinking: This is absolutely disgusting! And you're right. But also… when else will you get the chance to truly clean your mouth? Especially if you've spent the last month blabbering about your ex, your family, or the entire human race — this might be the universe's way of telling you it's time to start fresh. Just when you think it can't get any more unhinged, it does: the dish comes with a side of dirty sink water — scooped straight from KANTIN's well-worn kitchen sink. A little counterproductive? Sure. But when will you ever get to taste the air tangan of an actual dishwasher? Exactly. Okay, I know that some of you are getting more and more alarmed as this article goes on, but in case it wasn't obvious — yes, these are all edible! The 'kitchen sponge' is actually a delightfully fluffy dessert you can scoop and devour, and the 'dirty sink water' is a safe-to-drink concoction designed to test your courage and your palate. While this might trigger a few gag reflexes among the more picky foodies, for those who once nibbled on real sponges as curious kids (we see you), this might be the redemption arc you've been waiting for. So, what do you say? Dare to take a bite? KANTIN's April Fools special is available throughout Apr at both their Malaysia and Singapore locations. Get them while they last!
