You may remember my experience of having a cake thrown at my face by Steve Aoki during Avalon's 1st Anniversary event (click to see the photos and story behind that).  He's returned to Singapore for another round at Avalon and so my chance for revenge came up.

I asked him one question before the deed was done: Have you ever been caked BACK before?
His reply:  Never.  Only by personal friends.

Then...

THE TASTE OF REVENGE CAKE
with a Singapore twist.  Unfortunately pandan cake doesn't stick as well.
...but it does taste more delicious.

The best I could do trying to find a cake for the last minute idea.

As you might expect, coming from a guy who gets part of his daily workout from lifting people into crowd surfing rafts, he was a good sport about getting a revenge cake to the face.

Earlier in the evening, Steve Adelman of Avalon surprised me with an appropriate shirt.

Now to create a one-time I GOT CAKED BY GASTRONOMMY shirt...

Cool fact: Food is another one of Aoki's many passions.  He owns 4 restaurants in the United States -- and it ain't Benihana's.  Can you figure out which ones are his?
