Sluuuuuurp

Created in collaboration with Tanqueray, this cocktail was a very bright concoction, both visually and in taste, with quite a sweet-tasting mix of Tanqueray London Dry, Raspberry Puree, Lemon Juice and Mango.

Caffeine Express is tucked in HV’s iconic magazine stand, just right at the zebra crossing.

Have been wanting to try their drinks for a while now, and finally got to do so with a cup of iced matcha latte. Quite enjoyed it as a whole, though it was a huge pity that the matcha was a tad clumpy. I would definitely request for the less / no sugar option in future too! Price point is great at $5.50.

Wanted to get the hot matcha latte but it was sold out, then saw this interesting option of Jelly Matcha Latte! It comes iced, with a pretty generous base of matcha jelly cubes. The cup was less filled than I liked, and the matcha latte itself wasn’t as smooth. It was pretty crowded and the kiosk only had one lady managing both the orders and the food preparation, so I think that might have affected the final drink. Will come back to try again!

Needed to spot to finish up some work and decided on the pretty new Equate Coffee! Their Matcha Lattes are available in 6oz, 8oz and iced. Was a pretty good and smooth cup that was not too milky, but just thought it was a tiny bit sweeter than I’d like at its default. You can top up a dollar to opt for oat or soy milk!

Red shiso soda with lemon slices - this leaned more sweet, but was minty and refreshing, recommended to pair with their Festive Set ($21.80). Added pretty red hues in line with the Christmas vibes!

Wanted to get a cup of hot drink after our dinner and found ourselves at Flagwhite! My friend went with the matcha latte that uses powder from Matchaya, while I got myself a hot chocolate that uses chocolates from Fossa. They have it in 70% and 80% chocolate, and I ordered the latter on recommendation by the staff. Enjoyed the fragrant bittersweet notes!

Pretty pleasantly surprised by East Coast Commune’s hojicha latte. At default, it is done mildly sweet and the hojicha notes were quite pronounced. Could be a bit smoother, but not too bad!

Apart from the range of hot teas by the pot, there’s also Matcha Latte for the non-coffee drinkers. It leans more milky than I like, and is quite sweet.

Started this morning with @curatedculture_sg’s Probiotic Teas!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their starter kit comes with 3 flavours to sample:
• Probiotic Green Tea
• Probiotic Assam Black Tea
• Probiotic Rooibos (caffeine free)

The drinks are all natural with no extra funny/bad stuff added in, just lots of probiotics that’s good for your gut. Had the Roobios and Assam Black Tea so far, and am a bigger fan of the latter! It’s mildly sweet, lightly fizzy, and not too sour or heavy in flavour, which sits well for a morning sip. To having good guts! 😂

8degrees has quite a wide selection of bubble teas for you to choose from. We had the Milk Tea with Grass Jelly and Honey Green Tea with Pearls. Both were pretty fragrant. Pearls were decently chewy and the grass jelly was smooth.

We were here at the Jalan Besar outlet during a slightly off peak timing, but woah, they were still crowded and had a very strong queue going! Good to take note especially if you’re in a bigger group. Really appreciated the warm service despite the crowd.

Fruce is back with more new drinks!Featuring hues of red and white just in time for National Day, this new creation named Singapore Crush, has a combination of red velvet, cookie bits and of course, coconut froth.

Available from now for a limited time at all five Fruce outlets, but remember to visit their Wisma & Nex branches if you are thinking of grabbing the alcoholic versions.

My fav Fruce has launched new drinks - Baileys Avocado and Durian Baileys Avocado!

For both flavours, we got a nice kick of baileys right at the start, but it mellows down after, where you then get hints of baileys on some sips. Would be cool if there was an option to add extra shots 🤪 The durian one has super gao durian that makes it a lot sweeter and bolder, also giving the drink a thicker consistency. Thought the baileys is less distinct here, but it was quite nice how the durian didn’t overpower the avocado. These limited time baileys creations are available only at their Wisma and Nex outlets!
