Fans of the renowned Taiwanese band Mayday are racing to local supermarkets in Singapore following a surprise guest appearance by singer Stefanie Sun at the band's concert. The quintet, led by lead singer-songwriter Ashin, performed at Singapore's National Stadium on January 11 and 12. Sun, a celebrated Singaporean singer, joined the band on stage, recalling her past contribution to their song "Wang Zi Mian" (Prince Noodles) and presenting Ashin with a nostalgic gift — a packet of Mamee Monster BBQ flavoured snack.
The interaction between Stefanie Sun and Ashin not only delighted fans but also sparked a trending search for the noodle snack. During the concert, Ashin humorously remarked on the camaraderie within the band, stating, "It's alright, the five of us have a good relationship, we can share." This jovial moment coupled with Sun's gift gave rise to a nostalgic wave among fans.
The Mamee Monster snack, reminiscent of the Singapore version of "Wang Zi Mian," became an instant hit among concertgoers. Stefanie Sun expressed the sentimental value of the snack, saying, "This is the Singapore version of Wang Zi Mian. I can't say the brand, but the audience would know by looking at the packaging. This is what we would eat during our childhood." Her words resonated with fans, prompting a surge in demand for the noodle snack.
Fans took to social media platforms like Xiaohongshu to exchange tips on where to purchase the elusive snack. Popular outlets such as FairPrice, Sheng Siong, and Valu$ became hotspots for eager shoppers hoping to relive their childhood memories. Some fans even went as far as gifting these snacks to overseas attendees who were unable to locate them in local stores.
The enthusiasm was palpable among fans who managed to secure their share of the Mamee Monster snacks, proudly showcasing their purchases online. One fan at Bencoolen MRT expressed their gratitude with an exclamation, "Oh my goodness, thank you so much."
In addition to the excitement surrounding the snacks, the article also mentions that Labubu is leading the art toy craze, highlighting another growing trend in Singapore's vibrant cultural scene.
