Glad i gave them a second try cos the first time i went, there was a 1-for-1 and the pearls weren’t up to standard. This time round though the pearls were chewier and softer, albeit not the best i had.
I got the matcha latte with sesame pearls ($4.50 +$0.90). The matcha latte was just a tad bit grainy but still quite smooth and the drink was pleasantly sweet with just a tinge of bitterness from the matcha at 25% sugar. The periodic bursts of sesame gave it a savory tone and made it a really enjoyable drink throughout.

Yakult green tea with 3 pearls ($3.80 + $0.90).
Yakult green tea is just as it sounds, yakult and green tea. Nothing impressive. Honestly i think i can make it myself...
Their 3 pearls consisted of the sesame pearls, chrysanthemum & pink cactus. The pink cactus was quite sweet and tasted rather artificial while the chrysanthemum just tasted like any other ordinary pearls - could be that I can’t tell the difference as it may overlap with the green tea yakult. Sesame pearls were the best with the prominent taste of sesame and added another dimension to this otherwise average drink. Though, overall the pearls were not the best pearls i had as they were rather hard & too chewy for my liking - not sure if it it’s supposed to taste like that or is it cos they weren’t freshly made.
Got the aqua green tea ($2.90) with taro bobo pearls (+$0.90). The green tea was okay pretty average tea while the taro boba were overall chewy with a taro taste that I wouldn’t call distinct. Still, definitely better than most taro pearls i have tried in SG.
