High Society, Singapore

After stuffing ourselves at Wee Nam Kee, my friends and I headed to Marina area. Unfortunately, it was raining so we had no other choice but wandering around the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

High Society

While shopping around, we passed by High Society. The cafe looked so cute and nicely decorated. Even though we were sooo full, the girls and I just could not resist to grab a few macaroons to chew on the go =p

Cake and Macaroon display

As much as I wanted to try some of those cute tempting cupcakes, I was too full and our time was kind of limited. So we had to satisfy ourselves only with a few macaroons.

Earl Grey, Banana, and Maple Macaroons - S$2.80

The macaroon here costed $0.80 more than the one in TWG, but it was a bit bigger in size. All of them were sweet and the macaroon shell was chewy. Each of the macaroons has its own aroma that was suitable to its taste. Earl Grey Macaroon smells like earl grey tea; Banana Macaroon filled with caramel cream; and Maple Macaroon tasted like maple syrup on top of pancake. I loved them all.

I got to try my friend's macaroon. She had the rose raspberry macaroon (not pictured), and it had such a seducing smell of rose. It was my favorite, together with the earl grey :)

Share Tea, Singapore

After buying Garrett Popcorn the other day, I noticed there was a bubble tea stall behind it that was super crowded. However, I was sipping my Each-A-Cup bubble tea at the moment, so I had to suppress my curiosity until the next day.

I came back the next day and waited in line. The line was a bit long, but they moved fast. The bubble tea stall called Share Tea. It was from Taiwan, and super famous there. It had been in the business for over 19 years!

Honey Milk Tea - S$2.90

Learning from past experience that 100% sugar would be a tad too sweet, I decided to order mine to be 80% this time. However, since I ordered honey milk tea, in which they claimed to use honey instead of sugar, so they suggested that I went by the standard measurement, and that's what I did.

For the taste, I actually was disappointed. I did not really fancy its milk tea. It has a weird after taste. However, I would give them the benefit of doubt considering the long line, it must be good, right? It has to be good, or else why do those people wait in line for it?

Mango Green Tea with Cream - S$4.00

Well, just a few days ago I passed by the same outlet and decided to give it another shot. I had a different approach in choosing what to order this time. Instead of going fr the ordinary red milk tea, I chose one from the sign box, and Mango Green Tea with Cream looked interesting. I ordered it with 100% sugar and pearl.

After I mixed the cream, it looked like normal green tea milk tea. I loved it! I was glad that I gave them another chance. It was sweet and I can taste the mango. It was refreshing! the bubble was spongy.

Each-A-Cup, Singapore

Whenever I am in Singapore, I always get struck by bubble tea craze. I love bubble tea sooo much, it was my favorite comfort food! Super unfortunately, I cannot find a decent one here in Jakarta =( However, Singapore has a lot of choices of bubble tea that I have not even got the chance to try them all.

Anyway, I was walking around ION Orchard when I was attracted by quite a line in a bubble tea stall. It was called Each-A-Cup. I got excited that I felt like I also had to get in line and try one of those :p

Original Ice Milk Tea: Red Tea
with mini pearl and mixed fruit jelly- S$2.30

I tried its original milk tea. The original price was actually S$2.00. It came with one topping, but since I added  mixed fruit jelly, I had to pay $.30 more. Oh, and there's the thing about Singaporean bubble tea. In most places, you got to choose the sweetness level that you preferred. In Each-A-Cup you can choose from 0% to 120% level of sugar, with 20% increment.

I picked the 100% (normal) and it was a tad too sweet. Nonetheless, I still love it! It felt really good to have good bubble tea after getting disappointed by sucky pearl milk tea in Indonesia. The pearl and jelly were already sweet by themselves and perfectly chewy.
