Tsujiri @ 100AM

IMG_4446ed

With a heritage of 150 years and over seven generations, Tsujiri which originates from Kyoto Japan has come to our shore with its first tea house outlet at the new 100AM shopping mall. Tsujiri offers a wide varieties of matcha products that is suitable for any occasions.

O-Maccha Latte

I was with my friends and fellow food bloggers Daniel and Nicole after a dinner session at Teppei. It was still early after dinner so we decided to find a place to hang out over a drink for more chit chatting. Daniel ordered a cup of O-Maccha Latta ($5.20). He mentioned that he likes Tsujiri because the green tea flavours are aromatic and rich unlike most other places which are rather mild.

Nicole has the Yuzu Citron Shaved Ice ($6.80) which seemed rather refreshing.

Tsujiri Parfait Omaccha 4/5

As you probably already noticed all of us have gone for something cold. I have the Tsujiri Parfait O-Maccha ($7.50) which was perfect for cooling down in the warm night. The maccha ice cream was smooth, creamy and rich in the green tea flavour.

I find that be it the latte or parfait we tried, Tsujiri's version comes with a rich maccha flavour that will be well received by green tea fans. The price for the cup of latte is equivalent to that of some cafe chains which is quite reasonable. For the parfait I find it a bit expensive for the price I am paying for.

The Provision Shop @ Everton Park

IMG_0430ed

Everton Park housing estate is slowing turning into a little charm by itself with small boutique cafe opening up one after another at the public housing void deck. One such entry into the cafe scene is The Provision Shop by hotelier Loh Lik Peng and Cocotte's chef Anthony Yeoh.

Latte 2.8/5

The Latte ($5) is served in a nostalgic glass cup as if one is having a cup of kopi at the local coffeeshop.

Latte 2.8/5

I have to say the latte art is really quite beautiful. However I did not enjoy my latte. I found the coffee too acidic to my liking.

Chocolate Croissant 3/5

As I was quite fun from my lunch, I did not try their hot food. Instead I ordered a Chocolate Croissant ($3.50). It was delightful to discover the wonderful flavour of chocolate with each bite of the croissant. Although the croissant is buttery, it did not have the flakiness I was looking for.

Frankly speaking I am not sure what is the hype about The Provision Shop. I like the fact that the cafe added some color to the old Everton Park estate but I was not impressed with the coffee and croissant I had. I reserved my view of the cafe as I have not tried most of the item on their menu. However noticing that they have a small kitchen and using chef microwave most of the time, I hope they can prove me wrong in my next wish.
