Founded in 1928, @puncakpassresort carries a kind of nostalgia that many visitors probably first experienced during their childhood.

At Brightspot, they continue re-introducing that heritage through Dutch-influenced comfort food while reminding us that some places are not only remembered because of the food, but because of the generations that keep coming back. by @__edbl

Originally from Puglia, Italy, burrata has been around since the 1920s, but it wasn't until the late 2010s and 2020s that it became one of the biggest stars on café and restaurant menus.

Its delicate mozzarella shell hides a rich, creamy center that pairs just as well with pizza and pasta as it does with tomatoes, peaches, sandwiches, and even desserts.

One cheese. Endless possibilities.

Toast has officially leveled up.

Inspired by Japanese shokupan and café favorites like Shibuya Toast, thick-cut bread became a signature across cafés in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan before spreading globally throughout the late 2010s and 2020s.

With its crisp golden crust and fluffy center, it's made for generous toppings like butter, honey, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream.

Sometimes, all toast needed was a little more height.

A slightly different take on the classic donut is having a moment.

Instead of making the donut itself with mochi dough, this version wraps a soft, fluffy donut in a thin, chewy mochi layer, creating two completely different textures in one bite.

The trend has been popping up across cafés and bakeries in Indonesia throughout the mid-2020s, inspired by the growing love for mochi-filled and mochi-coated desserts across Asia. Soft, chewy, and just a little addictive, it's easy to see why everyone's curious.

One donut. Two textures. That's the fun of it.

In the 2020s, café versions and viral food videos helped introduce crispy rice salads to a much wider audience, turning that golden crunch into the star of the dish.

Fresh, crispy, tangy, and packed with texture, it's easy to see why everyone keeps coming back for another bite.

These fruit-shaped chocolate desserts have been taking over social media, especially across China, where pastry chefs create glossy desserts that look almost identical to real fruit.

The technique gained global attention in the early 2020s, as videos of the satisfying chocolate crack spread across TikTok, Xiaohongshu, and Instagram. A thin chocolate shell is sprayed with colored cocoa butter, creating a realistic finish and that signature snap when you cut into it.

Turns out, the reveal is just as satisfying as the dessert itself.

Looks like steak. Tastes like summer.

Watermelon steak started gaining attention in the late 2010s, as chefs and home cooks experimented with turning familiar fruits into something completely unexpected. One of the best-known versions came from New York chef Will Horowitz, whose smoked watermelon "ham" helped introduce the idea to a wider audience.

Grilling watermelon softens its texture, adds a subtle smoky flavor, and brings out its natural sweetness. It's often finished with balsamic glaze, fresh herbs, cheese, or spices for a savory twist.

Not trying to be steak. Just doing its own thing.
