Pearl Gomez, 22

PEARL has a sweet tooth. She especially loves chocolates and cupcakes.

She spends her days off hunting for food and has a favourite cupcake store in Chinatown.

"I love the cupcakes there because the cream on top is puree and if you freeze it and eat it, it tastes like ice-cream," she said.

Her love for sugar started early.

Pearl, 22, said: "It started when I was in kindergarten. Every day after school, my mum would give me sugary biscuits and animal crackers."

She even confessed that during her primary school days, she once smuggled food into class and got caught because of the chocolate stains left on her mouth when she sneaked a bite. Her obsession with desserts has led to a quirky habit.

"I like desserts so much that I collect things that look and smell like desserts," she revealed.

"I know someone in the US who makes such stuff and I order custom-made jewerly from her."
