Sluuuuuurp

Nice frothy cup of Teh Tarik Ais that wasn’t too sweet!

I really like the sour and refreshing bua long long juice, but it’s not that commonly found locally. Happy to have spotted it at 1 of the 2 drink stalls along the last row of stalls in Beauty World Food Centre! Uncle was super friendly as well, and he’d recommend you to remember finishing the bits of yummy sour plum!

Haven’t tried that many brown sugar boba milk in SG after Chen San Ding in Taipei (IT’S THE BEST). 😂 R&B’s version was my first ever cup when it just launched and among those that I’ve had here, I liked theirs for its fragrant, much less sweet and the pearls are soft and chewy. It’s more affordable too - apart from its MBS outlet, you can get your brown sugar boba fix at $3.80 at their other branches.

We sat in front of Song Heng Lee Drinks for our brunch and kept noticing people leaving the stall with these cups of pineapple juice! Was afraid that it might taste too artificial or ‘syrup-y’ but it didn’t. It wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet and for $0.80, it even came with chunks of pineapples! If you’re not a fan of the fruit, they have lots of other options at very affordable prices too, like grass jelly at $0.60.

Weather was so hot it got us all craving for a cup of bubble tea. I got this one thanks to @juliuslim’s recommendation! Don’t remember seeing chrysanthemum tea much on bubble tea menus, but this unique pairing worked out really well. It was refreshing, light and pretty fragrant! Pearls were chewy and had that nice hint of chrysanthemum too.

Fragrant and gao, but quite pricey.

Service was great despite the wait - they even serve you a cup of their classic bubble milk tea during your order! If you can’t make up your mind, the helpful servers seem to be really knowledgeable about their teas. They even have small tins of tea leaves on standby for you to sample whiffs of each fragrance before you decide.

I love that the teas are freshly prepared and brewed upon order. It’s an open concept shop space, so you get to see the whole process of measuring the tea leaves, measuring the temperature of water, up to the packaging.

Since their Dong Ding Oolong is a prize winning tea, I went for that base and topped up pearls. I would have like the pearls even softer but they were nicely chewy without the hard centre. Sugar levels are simply 0/50/100, and I like that they are lower than the usuals! Pricey, but it was a tasty cup with pretty distinct tea notes and fragrance. I’d like to try a cup without milk next time for an even better taste of the tea. Although the queue was long, the cups were served pretty quickly.

Another really refreshing choice at Yujin. The lemonade had just the right balance of sweet and sour - worked well as a palate cleanser too!

Went for Sparkling Yuzu, one of the five Yujin concoctions and was very happy with it! The sake, jello and yuzu combination worked out really well. It’s a little bit on the sweet side but in a way that’s still refreshing. Plus points for the mouthfuls of jello which made it extra fun to have!

Kipos’ ice teas come in these mason jars, to encourage diners to bring these jars back for future drink purchases. If you bring your own, it’s a dollar off!

Apart from the usual iced and warm beverages like homemade barley ($2.50) and canned drinks, KOON’s added a range of floral tea to their menu. Went with Jasmine Floral Tea and it was a good complement to the heavier flavours in our mains.

Thank you @koonbkt for having us! ✨

Would say to skip this, thought it could be a lot more richer in chocolate and a better balance of milk to chocolate ratio.
