Little Butter Latte 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.

Buah Long Long Juice

The name was bewildering enough for me that I didn't need to think of any creative twist for this post's title... I'd never have guessed that there'd be a fruit named "buah long long"... but well, yes, it does exist. The official name is Spondias dulcis , and buah long long is how the Singaporean Chinese know it. It's known as kedondong in Indonesia, pomme cythere in Trinidad & Tobago and some other countries, June plum in Bermuda and Jamaica, juplon in Costa Rica, golden apple in Barbados and Guyana, jobo indio in Venezuela, cajá-manga and cajarana in Brazil (see, they couldn't even decide on one name in the same country), amra in Malaysia, and quả cóc in Vietnam. That's a mind-boggling list of names if I've ever seen one. What's more amazing is that its juice is being sold by a rather common food stall. We found this at a branch of the food stall chain 1983 @ JEM food court, Singapore. Pardon the menu image for being pixelated as i...

Tiramisu Daifuku vs Matcha Adzuki Daifuku by Luckin Coffee

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. 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.

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.

Roasted Barley Milk Tea with Japanese Mugicha from Saga - easy DIY recipe for home

Mugicha, or Japanese roasted barley tea, is normally served plain, usually without even sugar, warm or cold. But with all the bubble tea stores putting non-conventional teas on the menu, I decided to experiment making Milk Mugicha to see how it tasted... it ended being more like a mugicha latte. I used a popular mugicha brand called Sanei Kosan from Saga Prefecture, Japan.

What is a dry beer, sake or drink? Asahi Super Dry Beer compared with non-dry beer and sake, and dry sake

I went for a S$6 beer tasting workshop that answered this question with side-by-side samples to compare. It was organised by Asahi Beer in July 2023 for the launch of their updated Superdry Beer taste. They not only let us try different types of beer, but also sake, because the concept of dry and not dry started from sake.

Ceylon Yuan Yang with Milk vs First Crush Tea Latte by Luckin Coffee

Luckin launched another interesting milky drink for their festive menu this Lunar New Year, so I tried it when I got a good coupon. This is Ceylon Yuan Yang with milk. Yuan Yang (鸳鸯) refers to a pair of male (yuan) and female (yang) Mandarin ducks, and figuratively means a good and complementary pairing. When it comes to drinks, it refers to a mix of tea and coffee, which I do agree is a great combination. Another term for it as applied to matcha would be the dirty matcha, although the term Yuan Yang is usually used only when the tea component is Chinese in origin. Besides this drink, Luckin has also launched other Yuan Yang drinks, all with their standard coffee, but they vary the type of tea used. Previously, I had tried their Summer Breeze, Jasmine and Spring variations and especially liked the first two. This time, I am adding Ceylon to the list. And look at the cute Chinese New Year cup sleeve. (I removed it so you can see the gradient in the next picture.) Ceylon tea is known for...

Ruskology 302: Matcha Chocolate Gouter de Roi Rusk by Gateau Festa Harada

As promised, this is Matcha Gouter de Roi chocolate-coated rusk, another seasonal offering by Gateau Festa Harada, available only from the months of October to late-May each year. It is also region-limited and only available at their stores in the Kansai region (where Kyoto and Osaka are located), so it may be especially tricky to get your hands on. But if you are in Kansai for sakura viewing, you'll be able to scoop this and the Triple Berry Gouter de Roi up together. Like the triple berry version, not only was the chocolate coating flavoured with matcha, but I think so was the bread used to make the rusk. As you can see, it is not white, but yellowish green in shade. On top of that, there is a secret nuanced ingredient that I discovered on the ingredients list (further below) - yuzu peel! Finally, there is also gold foil powder sprinkled on top for effect, very fitting for a traditional flavour representing gravitas.

Tie Guan Yin Sun Cake by Ruyi Tang

Today, I'm featuring the first in a series of interestingly-flavoured sun cakes by Ru Yi Tang (如邑堂) in Taiwan. And I guess them being called sun cakes vaguely relates to the theme of the new year, as the sunrise signals a new beginning. I ordered a box of 5 flavours - original, tie guan yin (a type of processed oolong tea), rose, honey and cheese.

XO Sauce Phoenix Cookies by Kee Wah

This came from Hong Kong - the Hong Kong bakery chain Kee Wah to be specific. XO sauce is officially a type of spicy seafood sauce used in Cantonese cuisine, which sometimes contains pork, but not in this version based on the ingredients list. (That, I've seen XO is a liquor as well and I've seen it used to describe other Chinese condiments made from a kickass assortment of ingredients that makes your eyes sparkle upon contact with your tongue. Or something like that.) But why then are they called Phoenix Cookies? After researching, there are a few different versions of the origins circulating online. The version that made the most sense to me was that it originated in Guangdong province in China. A maid was ordered to produce some authentic Guangdong snack for her master's guests, but there were no ingredients left, so she used leftover Five Nuts Mooncake (五仁月餅) and added some cured and candied meat (sometimes described as ham) to invent this amazing cake. (Five Nuts Moonc...
