Iced Aren Latte by Tomoro Coffee vs Gula Aren Latte by Fore Coffee

I've tried lattes and treats made with different kinds of sugar, such as  gula melaka in Ondeh Ondeh Lattes , brown sugar in a Luckin Plum Latte ,  Okinawn brown sugar or kokuto in Japanese breads , kuromitsu in ice cream and mizuame in castella , I jumped at the chance to try a new type of palm sugar called gula aren . Gula is sugar in Indonesian or Malay, and aren  refers to the type of palm tree that the sugar is extracted from,  Arenga pinnata . This is different from gula melaka, which comes from the flower buds of the coconut palm. Gula aren comes from the sap of the aren sugar palm. In Singapore, Fore Coffee and Tomoro Coffee, both trendy Indonesian cafe chains, offer aren latte on their menus, and I tried them both to compare.
