Showing places for "Bubble Tea"

Milo Crepe Cake Was going around Sim Lim Square and thought we had came across a F&B establishment in the second level of the shopping gallery amidst the computer servicing shops that was quite an unfamiliar sight to say the least. Located slightly further away from the main stretch of dining establishments in the building, the store does seem rather non-descript with a set-up that is rather haphazard to say the least. Turns out, the shop space is operated by both 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle and a Nanyang Straits Cafe; the latter being not open during the day of our visit. This is not 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle’s first location around the island; their very first location is actually a hole-in-the-wall space that is located at Blk 260 Ang Mo Kio Street 21 — their offerings there includes waffles and a line-up of bubble teas. For their location at Sim Lim Square, there are dine-in seats situated outside the shop space; the items offered on the menu by 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle has also expanded from the waffles and selection of bubble tea that is served at Ang Mo Kio, and includes a small variety of ice-cream flavours and sliced crepe cakes — both of which being stocked in their respective display chillers with the ice-cream being kept in a display chiller beside the counter, while the sliced crepe cake is kept in a display cabinet right across from the counter. We spoke to the folks running the space at Sim Lim Square and found out that their sliced crepe cakes are actually items that they have made in-house. During our visit, 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle was serving up five (5) different flavours of their Mille Crepes; these would include the Milo Crepe Cake, Oreo Crepe Cake, Lychee Rose Crepe Cake, Thai Milk Tea Crepe Cake and the Thai Green Milk Tea Crepe Cake. We found ourselves being drawn towards the Milo Crepe Cake — perhaps considering how the item does seem to come with a fusion of local elements at play. It is noted that the Milo Crepe Cake does come with a molten Milo filling somewhere in the middle. One thing to note about the Crepe Cake served at 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle is how the crepes are done with a slightly more thicker consistency when compared to those served at more “refined” establishments per se; not as intricate and delicate as that of the more expensive variants by other establishments out there but probably essential to keep the structural integrity of the cake intact as one slices down into the cake. There is sufficient Milo-infused pastry cream that alternate with each layer of crepe; the Milo-infused pastry cream carrying just a very light tinge of malty and chocolate-y flavours at the back of the tongue. Even with the molten Milo filling in the middle of the cake, the sweetness of the Milo Crepe Cake felt rather well-managed; something which would most certainly do well for those whom prefer their desserts to be less sweet in general. We quite liked how 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle does offer their Belgian Waffles in half portions — the Half Belgian Waffle being one that would better appeal to single diners as compared to the whole portion. For our order of the Half Belgian Waffle, we went with the Black Sesame Ice-Cream; it is also noted that the Half Belgian Waffle also came with a chocolate drizzle as well. We would say that the Half Belgian Waffle at 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle is a well-made one, being crisp, airy and light while carrying a waft of buttermilk fragrance on its own. The Black Sesame Gelato comes with consistently smooth and creamy texture, and exudes of a light and lingering hint of roast-y aroma from the black sesame without being noticeably gritty in its texture. Despite its relatively haphazard set-up, 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle does seem to be an interesting addition to Sim Lim Square as an option one can hit for an after-meal sweet treat — its waffles being a safe bet and a crowd-pleaser, while their Crepe Cakes being items that segregates them from most other establishments around; not an item that most places would like to commit themselves to due to the work involved. With the prices of the Crepe Cakes at $4.80, while the Belgian Waffles being listed at $3.80 and $5.80 as-is for the half and whole portions respectively, 38.Bubble Tea.Waffle is a decent spot to consider settling for dessert after having that bowl of salted egg chicken rice bowl from whichever establishment one prefers to have from there — somewhere that one can consider visiting if in the area.

Minced Meat Noodles This one is probably an oddball that those working in the Central Business District are likely to recognise — located in the recently re-branded Kopitiam food court (previously NTUC Foodfare) at Marina Bay Financial Centre, the Fishball Noodles stall probably stands out for its rather odd signage that indicates “Bubble Tea” instead. Indeed; this stall used to be operated by a certain tenant called Ju Fu De Cha which had vacated the stall sometime back. This said stall also once housed the short-lived outlet of the I Like Chicken concept — a brand name that serves Korean fried chicken, fries and burgers after the move from its previous stall within the same food court. Now a stall that serves up Fishball Noodles, it is interesting to note that it is still run by the same folks whom are behind Ju Fu De Cha — these folks apparently also run other brand names such as Frank's Western Kitchen and Ju Fu Mala Kitchen as well. The poster at the stall makes references to its incredibly weird identity; refers to themselves as MBFC Bubble Tea Stall #13, and serves up quite a limited menu — one would only find Fishball Noodles, Minced Meat Noodles and Laksa here for noodle dishes, while those going for soup can go for Meatball Soup or Fishball Soup as well. We found ourselves visiting the stall since we had been holding ourselves back on visiting the location itself; the Kopitiam food court had never been an attractive location for how crowded it is during weekday lunch hours, though we went on an occasion where we were tight on time and was having quite a craving for Minced Meat Noodles anyway. As with most other establishments, the Minced Meat Noodles at MBFC Bubble Tea Stall #13 comes with the choice of dry or soup — noodle options are limited though, considering how we did overhear the staff informing a patron that they do not have Mee Kia here. As one would expect, the Minced Meat Noodles at MBFC Bubble Tea Stall #13 comes with Mee Pok by default; comes with pork slices, minced pork, fish cake, meatballs and some mini Ngoh Hiang to go along with the noodles. One can call the Minced Meat Noodle here pricey — $6.50 is indeed not cheap for such a dish, but this was one bowl that comes chock full of meat; we hadn’t quite seen a stall that serves such a generous portion of meat with their minced meat noodles. Going for the noodles first after giving them a toss around the sauce, the sauce mix isn’t too heavy in flavours here — the lightly savoury notes from the soy sauce was well-balanced with a slight tang from the vinegar; even the spiciness from the chilli was rather mild here. The noodles itself was springy — done just about right. Amongst all the different types of meat here, the pork slices were a little lacklustre; carried a slightly heavier porky note than we had expected, but all the other elements worked well and especially so for the mini Ngoh Hiang that added a contrast of flavours from all the other porky elements. Another thing which we felt that the bowl here was missing out on was the lack of pork lard; certainly could have done slightly more to the dish if included. With all that being said, the Minced Meat Noodles is a decent eat at $6.50 — one that comes with a good portion size for those who aren’t too picky with their food in general; something fuss-free which we wouldn’t mind having again.

Honey Rice Oolong Tea w Fresh Lemon ($5.60) I felt that fresh lemon covered up with rice oolong tea too much. But it got hints for rice oolong tea aftertaste.

Rice Oolong Milk Tea ($4.90) My sister told me to order L size instead of M size ($4.50) and then difference like 40 cents lol. I opt out for 30% stevia sugar and also less ice. The taste for oolong tea was quite good standard as not that thick milky texture tbh but not suitable for lactose intolerant ppl.

lychee garden earl grey tea Very refreshing drink! Worth it with 1 for 1 deal.

1 for 1 Nice drink, great taste. Definitely will come back for other drinks here again!

Sea Salt Perilla Plum Green Tea A refreshing drink that combines the fragrances of Jasmine green tea with tantalizing goodness of sea salt balanced perfectly with perilla plum. Thanks to Burpple Beyond, we get to enjoy 2 Beverage for the price of 1 ✌ (U.P. $5.90)

Roasted oolong + royal milk + kanten crystal ($5) Tea is not butter even tho I chose 0% sugar. Milk tea is fragrant. Kanten crystal is white pearls.

Large cup of BBT for just $5?🧋😋 Ordered and claimed my Happy Cup Bundle deal capped at $5, super worth it as the bundle comes with royal oolong milk tea and toppings. The oolong tea mixed with royal milk gave the entire drink a perfect blend.

Jasmine Green w Pineapple Juice w Coconut Jelly ($4 I felt that their jasmine green tea covered up w pineapple juice :") way too much. legit like full drink filled pineapple juice :"( Coconut Jelly was not that hard and soft but chewy texture.

Lemon Aiyu w Passionfruit ($4.80) I think it's best selling dessert beside grass jelly with yam ball and also milk tea w pearl also. So I felt that it's quite refreshing and sour taste tbh.

Egg Roll w Pork Floss ($7) It's another best selling dish but I felt that it's quite meh too and didn't complemented well with each other tbh.

Pork Belly Rice ($6) I opt out for chili but tbh I lose all the appetite. I felt that their pork belly rice was normal and average tbh. I know it's best selling dish as I wanted to try for long time ago.

Matcha Macarons ($3.80) I felt that the taste turned me off immediately but matcha give me weird vibes tbh.

Matcha Red Bean Mac ($3.80) red bean was quite nice and didn't complemented well with matcha tbh. I felt that the taste turned me off immediately but matcha give me weird vibes tbh.

Gula Melaka Fresh Milk KOI THE (NEX) Gula Melaka Fresh Milk ($4.70) + Coffee Jelly ($1) my mum really obsessed with gula melaka milk drink when i ordered previously during feb lol and she literally asked me to order for her lol again and just realised via grab that KOI EXPRESS don't have this drink and only KOI THE have.

Yuzu Honey Oolong Tea ($4.60) included Aloe Vera topping ($1.30) Finally tried it out w new yuzu series. But it's slighty sweet due to the default sweet level (honey). It was quite refreshing and mix sour and sweet taste when buying at hot weather.

Orh Nee Fresh Milk I think I've drunk this before. Yam paste inside milk lor.

Xiao Long Kan Had an amazing hotpot experience at @xiaolongkansg Xiao Long Kan! The atmosphere was so authentically Chinese, and the clear soup base was incredibly refreshing. The mala was definitely 🔥🔥🔥! 🌶 Everything was so fresh, and the ox tongue presentation was a work of art! 🌹 Definitely recommend this place for a delicious and unforgettable hotpot experience.

Hotpot The soup base is nice and not dilute and the ingredients are also fresh

Authentic Szechuan Hotpot Unlike other joints that charge more if u want duo or trio soup , this places charges u less if u choose the 3 soup option ! Hallelujah for variety lovers ! The Mala Soup has a commendable spicy kick n variety & quality of the food is decent . It won’t cost u an arm n a leg and tables are well spaced out .
