Emping Cookies by Garden Pastry & Cake, Singapore

What happens when you put a cracker into a cookie? Garden Pastry & Cake answers this with their Emping Cookies. They are a local Singaporean bakery founded in 1977 and primarily located somewhere in Aljunied, but you can find their pop-up stalls in town during festive fairs, such as Takashimaya. I primarily get these lovely emping cookies of theirs during Chinese New Year.

Little Butter Latte vs Butter Americano by Luckin Coffee

The title of this latte had me curious so I had to try. Butter and coffee is a combination I tried as ice cream once, and wished there was more of. But the name of Little Butter Latte is apparently a branding collaboration between Luckin Coffee (瑞幸咖啡 ruì xìng kā fēi) and the Butterbear Cafe in Thailand which has as a mascot called Butterbear ( Nong Mee Noei in Thai). The mascot went viral sometime back in Thailand and the region, getting turned into Line stickers and so on. As you can see from the shop signboard, it's super cute. And recently, they also released a Butter Americano, 1 year after the latte, which I also just tried. (Scroll down for the updated section on the Americano version.)

Blue-ming Coconut Latte by Luckin Coffee

The name of this drink was a head-scratcher, but in essence, it seems to be a normal coconut latte, except that it has whipped cheese cream with it. It was the combination of coconut milk and cheese cream that I found interesting enough to try. Other than that, as you can see in the picture, it does come in a very beautiful pastel blue colour, which is apparently completely naturally derived from spirulina. It is this colour that the drink is named after, although I don't understand the "ming" reference. Some official marketing material refers to blue-ming as a homonym or pun of "blooming", which could be referring to the algae "bloom" which does happen for spirulina, although that results in the typical green algae colour, so it's a bit of a weird and potentially disgusting reference. It could also refer to the Chinese New Year or spring season where flowers are thought of as blooming, but it's a bit of a tenuous link.

Two Types of Balloon Flower and Pear drinks (Tea and Extract) by Songwon, Korea - taste review

A friend in Korea mailed some instant traditional Korean brews over. There's no good description of how they taste online despite material on their health benefits, so I'm documenting how these drinks by Songwon taste. I cover Balloon Flower and Pear drinks (Tea and Extract) by Songwon in this post, and in the next I'll cover Schizandra Tea also by Songwon. First, I'll point out that there's some discrepancy in the naming. The official name is Balloon flower for both, but the red one has "black" added to it, and some e-commerce sites call it "Black Bellflower and Pear" instead of Balloon Flower. I found out that Bellflower and Balloon Flower can refer to the same medicinal plant, and the bulk of the Korean characters in the middle look the same to me, so I assume it is the same plant. (Click to enlarge the photo.) Balloon Flower and Pear Tea On to the Balloon Flower and Pear Tea. This version came in a tea bag, and I brewed it normally like tea. ...

Pistachio Oat Latte (both iced and hot) vs Pistachio Dirty by Luckin Coffee

After trying Luckin's Toffee Hazelnut Oat Latte , I found that oat and nuttiness were a good combination, especially for those who like or need dairy-free drinks. So I tried their Pistachio Oat Latte, especially since pistachio-flavoured cafe treats are all the rage these days. This drink officially boasts "3 pistachios and 2 cashews" per cup, so it's also a Cashew Oat Latte rolled in. Based on their latest in-app description, the pistachios are from California and the cashews are from Vietnam. (I tried the Pistachio Dirty months later when it was released, and also the hot version during the current March 2026 relaunch. Comparisons are further below.) Visually, the oat milk portion was quite green indeed, as you can see at the bottom part of the cup. That bottom part was also where I started drinking from via the straw.

Popular Curry Cheese Bread by Giraffa Curry Bread Specialist from Japan

Another specialty Japanese brand recently opened its doors in Singapore - Giraffa Curry Bread Specialist . Its signature item is the Curry Cheese Bread. Unlike other breads, this one is deep fried. Furthermore, as if a layer of bread wasn't enough, it is also breaded... which makes it a breaded bread, incidentally. Apart from that, its curry and cheese are reportedly quite special too, so I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype.

Glutinous Green Milk Tea by Chagee, and a bonus Cocoa Oolong Milk Tea sample

I didn't recognise this "Glutinous Green Milk Tea" on Chagee's menu, so I ordered it to see what it was about, and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. First, what is glutinous green tea? It is apparently a normal green tea brewed with what Chagee calls a "plant native to Yunnan" in its in-app description (see image below). After further research, it seems that there are two separate plants used - one is the normal tea plant for the green tea, and the other is the Yunnan-native herb which goes by the name of Semnostachya menglaensis or nuo mi xiang (糯米香) in Chinese. Both the tea and the nuo mi xiang seem to be sourced from Yunnan. Besides green tea, nuo mi xiang is also often paired with puer tea. Besides its use to flavour foods such as tea, it is apparently also used in traditional Chinese medicines to aid digestion, detoxify and reduce internal "heat", but I don't know how validated by research it is. It literally means "glutin...

Mascarpone Latte by Luckin Coffee (both hot and iced versions reviewed), and a short comment on the Vanilla Soufflé Latte

Another eyebrow-raising flavour was launched by Luckin recently, as a collaboration with Tom & Jerry. It's called the Mascarpone Latte. I tried the iced version first, then updated on the hot version after, further below. (I also tried both the hot and iced Vanilla Soufflé Latte and wasn't impressed, so I have short comments right below.) Iced Mascarpone Latte My first impression is that it tasted nothing like mascarpone cheese. As you would know, probably from trying tiramisus, mascarpone cheese is rather unlike other cheeses in that it is closer to a cream, and it is sweet rather than salty.

Luckin Coffee's Daifuku - Salted Egg Yolk, Black Sesame, Matcha Adzuki, Tiramisu, Sea Salt Cheese, Blueberry Bliss

I had been impressed by previous attempts trying Luckin's desserts, namely their cheesecakes and strawberry daifuku, due to the relatively pure ingredients (few artificial additives or preservatives), low price, convenience and great taste balance. So when they launched a new red and green flavor for Christmas - Matcha Adzuki Daifuku, I thought I'd try it along with the remaining untried flavour, Tiramisu Daifuku. I also tried Sea Salt Cheese Daifuku, Blueberry Bliss Daifuku, Salted Egg Yolk Daifuku and Black Sesame Daifuku on separate visits. Currently, my favourite is the Tiramisu (which is very unfortunately no longer available) and the Black Sesame. 1. Matcha Adzuki Daifuku First off, the matcha one. Actually, the green tea flavor wasn't really matcha, as real Japanese matcha is more grassy. It's more like the Chinese jasmine woody green tea type of tea flavor.

Jasmine Cloud Latte by Luckin Coffee

After a good experience with Luckin's Cloud Cold Brew , I was eager to try the new Jasmine Cloud Latte. I love cheese foam and milk teas, so I thought this would be a good idea. Note that this contains coffee, so it is a cheese foam yuan yang or "dirty" tea.. The cheese foam is the white layer on top, and the white layer below is the milk. However, it turned out to be a disappointment.

Pandan Coconut Latte by Luckin Coffee - Hot and Cold Versions Compared for this lovely dairy-free drink

Following Luckin Coffee's publicity about their new memorandum of understanding to purchase coconut milk from Banggai Islands Regency in Indonesia, which they have called their "Coconut Island", they have been launching and promoting more coconut-based drinks. I thought this Pandan Coconut Latte by them was interesting enough in name, so I tried it. It is currently a Singapore-exclusive flavour, but I think it is one of my favourite drinks on their menu and they would do well to offer it elsewhere too. I bought both the hot and cold versions to compare and was rewarded with a free sticker set (which I did not need and gave away to a random little girl who passed by). Based on the marketing graphics, they also seem to have some partnership with Duolingo, which the different languages in the sticker set (see image below) also reflect. This Pandan Coconut Latte turned out to be possibly among my favourite Luckin drinks, perhaps on par with their Little Butter Latte . I trie...
