Drinks ☕️🍵🍷🥤

Taro came in a mashed/paste form that was really thick, coupled with the fresh milk, this was really one filling drink 😹 Would have preferred to have some taro bits to chew on instead for some added textures though, and the drink was a tad too sweet.. I personally would stick to Yi Fang's Taro Latte which is lower on the sweetness level and has better textures

One of their bestseller drink, and its not hard to see why. For the fickle minded and undecisive, this drink is truly the best of both world, marrying the likes of matcha and hojicha.

While the other lattes can be customised to be without sugar, thats not possible for this drink, as the flavour of the hojicha is brought in through the use of hojicha syrup. It is possible, however, to request for less sugar (which i also recommend!😊)

The amount of drink looks a little pathetic because i had mine without sugar and ice haha. The lattes here are by default sweetened by sugar syrup, but you can easily customise the sweetness of your drink to your liking! I personally like having my latte without sugar to fully savour the matcha goodness😋

For the uninitiated, genmaicha is actually toasted brown rice with green tea! Its a really fragrant drink, with robust notes of toasted rice which i love. Their ice blends are ideal if you don't like the "siap siap" powdery texture which might come with the usual lattes. I usually am fine with or without milk for the ice blends, but for the genmaicha I would totally recommend having it with milk, which i prefer due to the creamier and richer taste. If not, the taste is a little too thin and feels a little like just ingesting sugar water 😶

Do ask for your ice blends less sweet though, because i feel that the usual sweetness level is kind of a sugar overkill 😅

Smooth, rich and chocolatey all without being overwhelmingly sweet, and i really liked the generous amount of cocoa cookie bits thats sprinkled on the drink. Give it a good stir before consuming! I really enjoyed the textures in this drink with the crunchy crumbles and chewy tapioca pearls.

One of the 2 new summer drinks available, the other being the chocolate soy bliss. This was really smooth and milky. I really liked the consistency, but the strawberry taste wasn't very detectable, so the drink tasted mostly just like soy milk, except for the parts with the red strawberry bits. Didn't really fancy them though, tasted kind of artificial to me 😅

When you can't decide between matcha and hojicha, the matcha hojicha latte gives you the best of both worlds😊 Added genmai (brown rice puffs) to my drink and it really enhances the taste of the drink, giving it a nice, nutty and toasty finish ✨💕

They were having a peach series special, so I decided to give it a go.
Had the peach tea ($3.90) with peach pearls (+$1) I loved how there was a generous amount of real pulp in the drink, which were fun to chew on together with the peach pearls. The pearls had a mild, fruity fragrance, though not super strong. I really love the pearls at playmade and I definitely wasn't disappointed because they were as fat and chewy as I remembered them to be 😝 Overall, a really refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot sunny day.

We were given samples of this particular tea, which is their signature and bestseller apparently! Was quite shocked when I was told that the sample was of 100% sugar level, because it actually wasn't that diabetes-inducing.

The taste of the freshly brewed tea was quite strong and fragrant in this, and i thought that the tea+fresh milk balance was quite on point.

However, I eventually settled for 50% sugar level with konjac jelly topping (essentially white pearls) and was kind of glad that I didn't go with 100% because I think the jelly is soaked in syrup so it adds to the sweetness of the drink. I wished they were more flexible with the customisation of the drink, because no matter how I insisted, they refused to let me have my drink without ice 😐

Super strong and aromatic! Asked for my drink with less sugar and it was just nice for me; not sweet but not bitter either.

Those brown things you see at the top is actually gula melaka crumble, whose presence is welcomed for the coconut fragrance it provided since I felt that the shake had a strong pandan profile more than coconut, as well as for the texturous contrast to the milkshake. Only word of advice I have is to order this to share, and preferably between more than two, because it really can get quite jelat after just a few sips and it is quite diabetes-inducing.

It was matcha, and i love matcha (and soy milk) and it was only $1.50 but turned out to be quite a bad buy 🙁
Okay it didn't taste awful, but definitely lacking in the matcha factor. Save your money or invest in a better drink 😹 go for the sweet potato milkshake at donki instead.
