For some reason every time I see an iced latte with like a really dark, syrupy espresso, I always think “Ooooh how amazing would that be if it were a gula melaka latte.” So when I spied a Gula Melaka Latte on @fangkocoffee’s menu my inner weirdo did a celebratory dance. Verdict: not bad, really not too bad at all! I love that there’s a good bitterness and boldness to the drink, the coffee clear and discernible, with a caramel, nutty sorta sweetness coming through from the palm sugar. I do wish for the earthy, toffee-like flavour of the gula melaka to shine through more; but this is tasty as it is and I’m happy to have at least fulfil my dream of tasting a gula melaka latte.
