I’ve confessed to watching hours of people cutting into cakes and bars of soap on Instagram. What I possibly left out of my confession was my addiction to watching people make cloud bread, mozzarella donuts, and my current favourite culinary indulgence, Dalgona coffee.

If you're following food trends online, and especially those invading timelines on Instagram and TikTok, you will have almost definitely seen Dalgona Coffee. It went viral almost two years ago, when spotted by influencers in the U.S on a South Korean TV program.
