Beverages

Peach, Floral Blossoms, Honey

This white sparkling wine made from Moscato was delish! It was light and with floral with tiny bubbles, perfumed with the scent of honey. Their curated wine collection is exclusively distributed by them, you can only enjoy wines like these over here. They currently have promos going on, so it's defo a good deal!

Prices stated are after service and gst. My espresso was pretty sour. It's strong, tho I can't say I enjoyed it very much it was too sour for a coffee.

Matcha was quite distinct and gao, tho not till it's too jelat but I only had a sip so I'm not sure if it's too much for a full glass. The coffee takes a backseat, it's barely there for me, but my friends said it is present tho not obvious.

Earl grey flavour was quite pleasant and present yet not too floral, it paired well with the honey. But again the coffee taste isn't really there. Would do better if named as solely an earl grey drink.

For a coffee place the coffee was not even discernible in their flavoured coffee drinks. I think it’s nice if you treat it as a cafe/place for beverages.

It had too much milk, coffee taste was probably diluted because of that. Disappointed, didn’t really enjoy it.

KAFFIR PISCO SOUR
Barsol Pisco, Citrus, Kaffir Essence, Egg White

Was a nice drink, slightly sweet, slightly tangy.

QUEEN OF HEARTS
Widges Gin, Rose, Citrus

This was a proper milkshake - thick, creamy, smooth and refreshing, with a nice choc & pb flavour. It was delicious! But it can get kinda surfeiting, as it’s really thick so please share it~

Loveee the toasted rice bits that they sprinkle on - it’s crunchy and has a nice roasty flavour. Was very lightly grainy, but I liked the flavour as it wasn’t very gao but still discernibly genmaicha / not too milky. Probably not for the matcha purists? Preferred this over their iced hojicha!

The purple grape one is made with Kyoho grapes, there’s handpeeled grapes in there! Osmanthus jelly was mild, couldn’t rly taste any floral flavours. I opted for 0% sugar but I think the “least sugar” option is better, as sugar brings out the flavours of the beverage. The very green grape was nicer, it gave me qoo vibes but not as sugary sweet! Note to self: the green grape w cheezo, least sugar is a good option to get! But only for sharing, one drink by myself is too much for me 🤪

This was decently bitter; matcha enough but not overly green tasting. But I didn’t like how icy it was, as it made it hard to drink - we had to wait for the ice to melt. Will probably go for non-ice-blended options next time!

Donki drinks are rlly my happy affordable comfort thrills!!! Personally I have tried sweet potato, matcha and hojicha latte - they premake them so you can’t opt for no / less sugar but it’s not too sweet itself so all’s good :-) the drink itself is really smooth (especially with the Hokkaido milk that they used). Out of the 3 I would say that hojicha is my favourite - has the roasted earthy taste ; matcha was slightly sweeter and sweet potato was slightly too thick for a drink for my liking (got gelat real quick), felt more like a dessert!!

Ok prob another unpopular opinion but actually I didn’t enjoy this (read on before you shame me!!!) ☹️ it’s really full-on orh nee milk tea with orh-nee pearls (with lumps of orh nee in the milk tea so it was too much for me (I really don’t like orh nee I’m a taro blended kind of milk tea fan..). if you love orh nee this will be the drink for you!! I did like the taro bubbles tho!!! Good chewiness reminded me of blackball taro balls with more yam fibrous! I will just stick to my dong ding oolong next time!

My first heytea experience and honestly it’s so expensive for a drink!! We must be crazy!! Ok but the cheese was REALLY GAO - it was savoury thick and yet not overly jelat and light enough to eat more. I rlly like the fresh grapes topping the best I was confused by the cheese and drink mix tasted like milk towards the end? Would not get again but worth a first try! Perhaps I will try the taro next time that was highly raved by my friend

Popped by hvala’s new outlet (3 storeys!!!!) and its first floor was already beautiful and chill / have always loved hvala’s hot matcha and trying this ice-blended (no sugar) for the first time / slightly sweet for me still but enjoyed it nonetheless (btw my friend got the hojicha ice-blended and it was a no go)
