Back for Healthy Chicken's detox water

Went back for detox water because it is quite a good deal for $28 but the bottle leaks a bit with the lid screwed on.

The drink was better this time because it had apple slices and blueberry.

Again it had a light refreshing sweet taste with hints of apple and lime.

Not just coffee at Espressamente illy

Walked past thinking it was just a coffee shop but then I saw the glass cabinet with cakes and sandwiches so I decided to go in and have a look.





I was surprised to see sweet potato latte and green tea latte in a shop specializing in coffee.
In the end I ordered the sweet potato latte.

sweet potato latte:


It was a bit bland because the sweet potato flavour was not strong but the sweetness was just right.

What's your cocktail portrait?

I don't normally drink but I was captivated by their cocktail portrait because it sounded interesting.


At first I thought it was gimmick and some sort of art but it turns out to be a personalized cocktail to suit your palate.


Before they make you the drink, you are given some carbonated water to cleanse your palate which I thought was brilliant.


You are then given a form to tick so that the cocktail stylist can get an idea of the sort of drink you are looking for.



Although mine was a mocktail, I loved the taste, it was wonderful and just how I liked it because it had notes of sweet strawberry and refreshing lime which were the sours that I was looking for.
There was also cream, fig and a hint of chili to smooth it out with some excitement.

This was the drink that my friend was impressed with as well which had notes of pineapple, cream, banana and passionfruit.



As well as the drinks, the bar was lovely and cozy too!

A lovely cuppa at DK Cuppa Tea

I love tea but I was contemplating whether to try this place or not because aroma oils do my head in and make me dizzy.
Since I was checking out SOHO fish and chips, I decided to go in and see if the smell would knock me out.

Luckily I could cope with the aroma fragrance so I got the Holiday Dreams which is coconut and pineapple infused tea with honey (pina colada).

While I was waiting, I smelt the other teas and the chocolate and lavender tea was quite interesting.

On the tables, they have floral sugars.

Holiday Dreams:

The tea was nicely labelled with a silver elastic string and tea information.


Basically the tea was made in a shaker, hence the pretty froth which reminds me of Taiwanese fruit teas.

The tea tasted natrual with a strong pineapple taste and it actually tasted like real pina colada.

Wholesome veggie juices made by Veggie Boys

I love the concept at Veggie Boys because it is young and fun.


At the juice joint, all the vegetables and fruits are neatly stored in the fridge.


On the wall, there is a juice selection.



The juices are made to order so you will see the boys weighing the required amount before the vegetables are blended.



Since my first visit, the prices have gone up.


Each juice has a different nourishing property.
I chose the SKIN which had pineapple, apple, avocado and romaine lettuce.

The bill was only $2 Thanks to Ivy because she bought a package of prepaid coupons so if you choose something that costs more then you pay the difference.


I adored this drink because it was lovely and thick, the juices did not separate and held together all the way through.
As for the taste, the avocado was really prominent which was why I liked it with faint notes of apple and pineapple that balanced out the creamy and heaviness of the avocado.

Overall I was impressed by the drink and their enthusiasm.

Wild hot kudzu drink @ 葉香留

葉香留 (Wan Chai)

Since my last visit, the Kudzu drink has gone up from $9.5 to $11.

I like the taste of it because it tastes lke boiled bitter watercress and not because of its health benefits.



It probably does not have any herbal benefits because the lady was really moody and depressed like she was going through menopause.
As I said, I went for the taste and not the Qi, Yin Yang BS!

kudzu drink:



It was warm and savoury with a sweet aftertaste.
You can also add salt to enhance the taste but it seemed that salt was already added.
