Mocha (S$4)
Berries Tea (S$4)

Waffle (S$4)

The taro was goodddd it wasn’t sweet, tasted natural like taro, and I’ll definitely try it again. Though it’s on the expensive side and portion isn’t the biggest, it’s taste is quality and definitely worth a drink.

I genuinely enjoy the yoghurt drinks as they are made from real yoghurt and not sweet at all! I enjoy their purple rice yoghurt the best although this time I tried the Taro one. It was really good too. Though it’s a bit expensive

Loved their Hakka Yong Tau Foo (SGD $15) rendition, which features 6 large pieces of ingredients, all stuffed with a filling of tender minced pork and soft fish paste. There's 2 spongy tofu bean curd puffs, 1 crisp yellow bell pepper, 2 wispy bean curd skin wraps, 1 crunchy bitter gourd, and 1 springy tofu bean curd. Immersed in a thick soy bean gravy, these carry grainy vegetal meaty sweet savoury salty earthy flavours. Very filling, great when paired with white rice.
.
The Steamed Whole Sea Bass Fish Hong Kong Style In Soy Sauce (SGD $32) features a fresh sea bass fish, medium in size (about 600g - 700g), with tender flaky fish meat. Dressed with crisp parsley, scallions, and red chili, which lend vegetal sweet spice flavour. The robust soy sauce gravy carries bold salty earthy savoury flavour, lifting the overall taste of the dish.
.
Loved the ample gravy in the Tropical Fruits Sweet & Sour Pork (SGD $18), which is thick and sour sweet in flavour. The chunks of tender chewy pork loin have meaty sweet sour savoury flavour, while the juicy fruits (lychee, pineapple, strawberry) lend fruity sweet flavour, and the crunchy cucumber lends a cooling vegetal sweet note.

Loved the "Very Grape" drink! The staff are all super busy making drinks and they have various choices from fruit teas to yoghurts. I have always loved their Yoghurt series but I decided to try their fruit series, definitely didn't disappoint. Will be looking forward to more selections from them! :)

The waffle has a nice crisp exterior with stretchy and chewy Chinese rice cake (年糕) inside. The nian gao was not too sweet with hints of brown sugar. I enjoyed the contrasting texture of the chewy nian gao and crispy waffle. The tie guan yin ice cream was creamy and light in flavour with a very mild taste of tea which I wish the fragrance of tea could be stronger. They do not allow flavour tasting so it's really a hit/miss.

Other flavours available are cookies and cream, sea salt gula melaka, osmanthus oolong, dark chocolate, yuzu shiso, Hoegaarden Rosee beer, chrysanthemum goji berries, matcha butterfly pea soy, roselle smoked plum, pi pa gao mint, white peach oolong, strawberry chia seeds, Jasmine green milk tea and earl grey milk tea.

Nian Gao Waffle + 1 Scoop 》$11.30

Ice cream was not bad, but I feel that the waffle is kind of doughy and not as good as previously. Also, no longer have characol waffle
