Can taste the hoijicha, just that it's a little milky, rather than those really thick and strong bittersweet hojicha that hojicha lovers like me would be expecting.

@sgcocosan is located at Level 1 of Paya Lebar Square, offering a good variety of drinks at their store.

Original Coconut Shake ($4.40 - M)
Their coconut shakes are generally slightly icy and less creamy than some others.

Taro Coconut Shake ($5.30 - M)
The taro flavour you get here would be those artificial taro powder flavour, which quite overwhelms the coconut flavour.

Matcha Latte ($7.50)
As part of the set, this was really quite strong in the Matcha flavour which I really liked! Definitely an enjoyable one, and really worth it considering it's part of the Burpple set.

@my_lil_coconut is a homegrown brand that serves Thai-style coconut milkshakes, made with hand-picked coconuts, and freshly blended to form their coconut smoothie!

They have an interesting variety of refreshing drinks with crowd favourites such as coco milkshake with Red Ruby!

Their Coco Shakes are made with the same base - Coconut Flesh, Condensed Milk, Icecream, and then topped up with the respective toppings that you picked. They were generally q sweet because of the condensed milk, and I'd just focus on the toppings considering that's largely what makes the difference!

Mango Konjac Pearl ($5.30 - R, $6.30 - L)
I liked that the Mango Konjac was really chewy, and would be for those who like Mango Jellies.

Pandan Sago ($4.90 - R, $5.90 - L)
Pandan sago was only there for texture, as there's no flavour to it!

Red Bean ($4.90 - R, $5.90 - L)
Red bean was quite huge so it was a nice texture - for those who enjoy red bean!

Milk Pudding ($4.90 - R, $5.90 - L)
This was q light in terms of flavour, wouldn't mind even stronger pudding flavour!

Pineapple Green Tea ($4.30 - M; $5.30 - L) (first drink from left)
This drink was slightly sweet even with 0% sugar, because of the pineapple fruit within. I actually didn't mind that the pineapple flavour wasn't very strong, considering I'm not that big a fan of pineapple 🤭.

I'm sure many of you have heard of Yi Fang @yifangtea.sg, which originated from Taiwan and specialises in Taiwanese Fruit Tea. They use premium quality ingredients from Taiwan, and do not add any artificial flavours or additives in their drinks!

There's a few outlets in Singapore, including Shell Stations such as Shell Sengkang, and there's also a new outlet at Boon Lay Shell Station!

Here's some of their best sellers I tried:
Mango Fruit Tea ($6.30 - M; $7.30 - L)
After trying their fruit tea, and I can see why it's their signature! This was slightly sour, which was really refreshing, and came with loads of fruits including apple, orange, and passion fruit seeds. Great to quench your thirst!

Oolong Tea Latte ($4 - M; $5 - L)
Their Oolong Tea was q fragrant, although I personally prefer even stronger ones, but it's not overly milky, so those who can't take dairy products well might enjoy! I picked 0% sugar, which also meant that I could enjoy solely their tea flavour w/o any added sugar!

🌟 Osmanthus Oolong Tea + Cheese Cream Top ($6.40)
The cream cheese top was really fragrant, and went very well with the osmanthus oolong, which also had a light floral tea fragrance, making it refreshing and got me wanting for more.

Winter Melon Chrysanthemum Tea + Sweet Potato & Taro Pearls ($5.60)
First bought this drink to try and honestly didn't particularly enjoy the mixing of 2 strong flavours together - winter melon and chrysanthemum. This drink wasn't exactly to my palette.

Was really intrigued by all the flavours they offer, and decided to try the unique flavours instead of the original/ usual Coconut flavours.

Black Sesame Coconut Shake (L - $6.50)
Definitely my first time hearing of and trying Black Sesame Coconut Shake. This is almost like having Tang Yuan in a drink - NGL it overpowers the coconut, but it's really pretty good as a black ssm drink.

Pistachio Coconut Shake (L - $7)
Tbh wasn't expecting much from this flavour, but was really surprised that you can really taste the pistachio here. This drink was less icy than the black ssm one, and coconut flavour was slightly more evident here, although it still gets overpowered by the nutty Pistachio flavour. No complains considering I'm a huge Pistachio fan.

Love the variety they offer and I'd definitely get them again if they are made more accessible in future!

Hoijicha Latte ($6.50)
Compare to the Matcha Latte, this is definitely my favourite of the two, as I really enjoyed the strong roasted tea flavour from the Kuro Dark Roast Hojicha Powder! Pretty enjoyable, and likewise, it wasn't too sweet!

The Garden Slug has partnered with @naokimatcha to offer freshly prepared matcha and hojicha drinks made exclusively with Naoki Matcha products using a standard approved recipe.

The vibes here were pretty chill, and best part of all they're pet-friendly!

Matcha Latte ($6.50)
This is made exclusively with Naoki Matcha’s Superior Blend, and I appreciate that it's not too sweet, and has a slight bitterness from the Matcha Powder!

Matcha Latte ($6.50 iced)
Slight grassy, seaweed notes in their Matcha, and I liked that the sweetness balance was good - wasn't too sweet, and you also get the bitterness from the Matcha Powder. Definitely enjoyed it!

Definitely would still visit for their other flavours, and this new outlet has 2 counter seats so do go early if you want to get the seats!
