Maccha House 抹茶館 - If there is such a house, I would want to live in it
 |
| Being a hard core Matcha fan myself, needless to say, Maccha House naturally attracted my attention and automatically registered in my 'must try' list. The name Maccha House made me fantasize a house of entirely green/brown furnishing, scented with the aroma of matcha, decorated zen style with tons of matcha food products! Before my imagination could get any wilder, here's a picture of my friend's Matcha and Vanilla soft serve cone. (He already started licking his bi-coloured tower before I could snap a decent shot.) Although the matcha taste was intense, the price was a bit unfriendly to his wallet. |

| As for me, I decided to try something unique and ended up picking Ice Matcha with brown sugar syrup. I was quite shocked upon receiving my tall glass with a mess of cream that has such a horrible texture and looking split. After stirring the cream for a brief moment, I took a sip and immediately fell in love with my drink! A strong intensity with bitterness not too unbearable for my taste buds. (My resistance to Matcha's bitterness could be a little high though.) The brown sugar syrup only helped to sweeten the drink a little and imparting a bit of malt candy flavor. I tried slowing down my drinking pace but to no avail and in no time, the glass was empty with me trying to suck every last drop of the drink with my straw. I would definitely be back for more in future! |

Creamier Ice Cream and Waffles - Unlink choice
 |
| Omg so busy recently that I have no time to blog! I just came back from a short (3 days) getaway trip to Batam during the National day holidays and am now flooded with 2 major projects from school. Anyway, let me change to a more chill topic of an ice cream dessert which I had with my friend. I brought my friend to this outlet which was just walking distance from his house and he did not even know this place existed! Since my previous visit I did not have a chance to try their home-made waffles, we decided to order it with 2 scopes of ice cream! It was rather crowded that day and we had to wait quite a while before 2 near-perfect round spheres of ice cream, balanced neatly on top 2 squares of in-between-crispy-and-fluffy waffles arrived. Was glad it came in 2 squares as it saved us the trouble of portioning. I picked the Sea Salt Gula Melaka which had a lovely palm sugar sweetness, enhanced by the saltiness of sea salt. My perfect combination of sweet-salty! My friend decided to go for the tropical fruity Mango Passion Sorbet. It was tangy, deliciously refreshing and it had an obvious fruit puree taste. I felt the mango was dominant while my friend actually thought the passion fruit was more overpowering. (Who's right?) The main agreement that we both had in unison was that these 2 scopes totally do not compliment well with each other, like the opposite polarity of North and South. |
