CHEESE TART TASTE TEST
ST Food conducted a blind taste test of 10 cheese tarts from nine shops. The tarts were tasted by ST Life editor Tan Hsueh Yun, ST food critic and deputy Life editor Wong Ah Yoke and writer and cookbook author Chris Tan.
The judges were blindfolded for the taste test. All the tarts were purchased on the same day as the taste test.

WORLD VANILLA SHORTAGE
The world is facing a vanilla pod shortage due to poor harvests in Madagascar after a cyclone hit the country in March.
This has caused the price of vanilla pods to soar by up to 500 per cent and has resulted in a vanilla ice-cream shortage in the United Kingdom, The Independent newspaper reported.
The shortage and high prices are also evident in Singapore.
Some bakeries and ice creameries have absorbed the rising cost of vanilla while others stopped using it.
