(ION ORCHARD outlet)
Aren’t you glad that the bubble tea shops are finally open in phase 2? It just goes to show how much we love drinking tea beverages. Are you ready for more good news?
HEYTEA 喜茶, the original inventor of Cheezo Tea, has just launched HEYTEA Food lab which offers baked treats. They have also introduced 4 new pastries which will sweeten up your life in Phase 2 post-circuit breaker.
HEYTEA Food-tea pairings
I managed to try their 4 delectable baked goods but I did not manage to try them with their recommended tea pairings. ( I wish I did!)
Feast your eyes on HEYTEA Food Lab Baked Treats!
But if you were to check out their new baked goods, do pair it with signature tea drinks for a perfect afternoon treat. If you prefer a more convenient alternative, you can head over to the supermarket and purchase a carton of brown sugar milk to go with these sweet delights.
Golden Croissant ($3.60)
This classic delight is best paired with HEYTEA’s Taro Bobo. This is best eaten when it is still warm and fresh from the oven. It has a buttery aroma which is best paired with the sweetness from the Taro milk drink and chewy Bobo pearls.
It smells amazingly delicious. But I just hope that it was more flaky and soft though.
Chocolate Croissant ($4.20)
Their chocolate croissant is a dream. I love the chocolate fillings in it. As compared to the golden croissant, I find that their chocolate croissant is slightly moister and fluffier inside.
I also wouldn’t mind if they drizzle more chocolate sauce on it outside. Who doesn’t love a good chocolate croissant?
Since the chocolate croissant is already quite sweet, it is best paired with a tea-based drink like HEYTEA’s Aqua Green Cheezo. The combination of Jasmine green tea, cheese foam and chocolate is a spot on. The refreshing blend of sweet and savoury, mixed with a tinge of bitterness from the tea, will make you do a little happy dance.
Butterscotch Chip Muffin ($3.20)
Their Butterscotch chip muffin is also another delectable chip. I am only slightly disappointed by the fact I did not see any butterscotch chip on the muffin itself.
However, it has a little surprise in it – a sweet buttery filling (which I presumed is butterscotch sauce.)
The muffin is very moist and soft. And it has this homemade rustic-taste to it.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookie ($2.00)
I saved the best for last.
This double chocolate chip cookie is a killer and thus, it is a must-try. It has a perfect balance of chewiness on the inside and crispiness on the outside which makes it so tasty. And guess what? It costs only $2, so why not?
I was glad that they added some nuts to add some crunch to the cookie. It’s very chocolatey and I simply love it. It’s a cookie which will put a smile on your face on days you are craving for chocolate.
And this cookie is best paired with one of the bestselling drinks – Strawberry Cheezo; just think of strawberries coated with a layer of good chocolate.
