The Strawberry Matcha (S$5.10, RM17.90) seems to be a popular pick amongst the crowd. Not only are the aesthetics on point, but the robust matcha flavour complements the sweetness of the strawberry syrup. 

But if you are feeling fancy, the creamy Rose Latte (S$4.25, RM14.90) is said to have a delicate sweetness with a sprinkle of rose buds.

Each gateau cake features a denser, fudgy base with a light cream and custard-like centre and a delicate mousse on top — an indulgent treat that isn’t too sweet or bitter.
