[FARRER PARK, SINGAPORE] Found another quality Chinese dessert cafe that I will be back again to try out many more of their selections 😍
They are famous for their roasted milk tea, which we got the Osmanthus 🌼 version ($13.90). It may seem expensive, but 1 pot can feed about 2-3 pax. This is meant to drink hot, and you can really taste the amount of quality ingredients in this. It was strong yet fragrant, with just a slight sweetness. At first I wasn't really drawn to the tea, but it slowly grew on me as I appreciated the fresh tea flavours.
If you are not a tea person, fret not as they have great desserts too. One of their famous ones is their Taro Mochi 🍠🍡 ($6.90). You might be thinking about mochi balls, but it's actually the velvety, smooth yet slightly chewy white layer on top. Digging into this reveals a bed of orh nee which was not too sweet and was smooth as well.
I'm glad that their desserts lean towards being less sweet, which is great knowing it's not too sinful to have their desserts. Can't wait to come back to try more items! 🤤
Strawberry Souffle ($16) - Light and not overly eggy or sweet, the stack of soufflé pancakes was wonderfully fluffy. The cream was airy too and matched nicely with the sweet fresh strawberries and sauce. The popping bobas/toppings offered a fun touch as well with the added textures and flavour.
Slow Weekday Tea Break at Lantine!
[Yay, there was no queue on a late Thursday afternoon]
Rock Tea Roasted Milk Tea ($13.90) - Aromatic and deliciously balanced, the classic concoction came highly recommended and understandably so. And as one that usually orders hot milk tea, I enjoyed that their blend was none too sweet or milky. The signature roasted drink was also smooth and belly-warming.
A chilled, sweet, and tart fruity tea that’s refreshing and perfect to cool you down.
Even their coffee with milk is exceptional! It’s rich, aromatic, smooth, and comforting, with the osmanthus touch adding a lovely floral fragrance. Frothy on top and pleasantly milky at the bottom, this latte is truly a delight for the mind and soul.
The first sip made us say, “Wow, this is good!” The tea is aromatic, and the heated fresh milk combined with additional floral spices adds smoothness, natural sweetness, and a fragrant touch. Rock tea, a type of oolong with a strong yet sweet aftertaste and a smoky aroma, is an excellent choice that aligns well with the theme. Ideal for sharing between two people! 好嫩，好舒!
