Iced Sea Salt Caramel Mocha from Coffee Break! At just $3.80, it's a damn sight better than anything St*****ks brews up, despite being priced at just slightly over half the price. Unfortunately, the taste of sea salt caramel was almost totally muted, and I only managed to catch a few lingering wisps between sips.

However, that's unexpectedly good news, as it means that the excellent mocha is allowed to shine through! The coffee is mildly acidic but is highly chocolate-y, and maintains a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. The pleasant, heady aroma lifts off from within the cup to tantalize your olfactory sensors the minute you lift the lid off. It's fantastically full bodied and creamy with a thick, pleasant layer of crema sitting on top innocently.

To get a topnotch, nice cold cuppa like this for $3.80 at a hawker centre would've been utterly unthinkable just a decade ago, but thanks to the young brother-sister duo behind Coffee Break, the plebeians are able to enjoy decent coffee at decent prices.
