Hvala (Odeon)

($8.50) with fresh milk and less sweet. I finally tried their iced blended series for a while. It took me a while to order this drink bc they got a variety of different drink. But I did enjoy non-blended drink than blended drink. The taste remained the same so I didn't really comment much.

Matcha °1 & shiro Matcha azuki gelato ($1) ($11.60) I finally tried all matcha variants from °3 to °1 throughout 4 years of journey with hvala. I felt that it's was quite milky texture and less bitter taste. shiro matcha azuki gelato was quite mushy and rough texture probably due to azuki (red beans). I felt that it's was not milky texture and taste in between bitter and sweet.

Sucker for Matcha 🍵 hence when i saw that Hvala relocated from CHIJMES to Hvala Odeon with Matcha Toast I had to go 😂
…
Saw that they have houjicha and Genmaicha as well! Got their Genmaicha which is $9.90 with eggs - similar to Traditional Kaya Toast Style though quite funny that they have these but opens at 12pm. So more of an afternoon tea snack😂 but price doesn’t incl drink 🥲

They have mains now as well like Beef, Salmon & Scallop etc. in Shio Pan/Rice/ Soba Pairings all around $20 +/- range… but the food standard is pretty well executed for cafe style. 
…
overrall I spent $40+ after Gst which is fine for an occasional cafe outing but bit hard on the wallet to go for regular matcha treat🥲

($6.90) It took me a while to try their matcha gelato after 4 years ago. I felt that their °2 got mild bitter and a bit milky texture than °3.

($8.50) I tried their hot version previously a few year back ago around 4 years ago ? and decided to try their iced version this round of time. I opt out for less hojicha syrup. So matcha and hojicha didn't crash together for taste otherwise. I did sip hojicha syrup from the straw if you didn't stirred evenly.
