This isn¡¯t just a drink¡ªit¡¯s an experience. This bubble tea is as delicious as it looks owing to its rich purple color from taro and ube (purple yam). The process starts with blending fresh ube and taro into a thick, smooth paste. This is then mixed with milk, ice, and a bit of sweetness based on preference. The real magic happens when this creamy blend is poured over chewy tapioca pearls, which have been slow-cooked in brown sugar for a caramel-like taste. A refreshing, nutty, and slightly sweet drink that has become a global favorite. Want more texture? Toss in some nata de coco for an extra burst of fun. One sip, and you¡¯re hooked.

Brace yourself¡ªthis is no ordinary burger. A thick, juicy chicken fillet is breaded and fried to golden perfection, crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. Then, it takes a dive into the ultimate sauce: a blend of honey, Sriracha, and sesame oil. The heat from the Sriracha? Addictive. Honey's sweetness? Just enough to keep you craving for another bite.
Its preparation starts with a fresh 100-110g chicken fillet, which is coated in layers of bread and fried at 175¡ãC until golden brown. The star of the dish is the in-house honey Sriracha sauce, made with a perfect balance of honey, sriracha, and sesame oil. Once the fried chicken is coated in this flavorful sauce, it is placed inside a soft, buttery brioche bun and topped with crunchy slaw, onions, and sesame seeds. Cheese lovers can also add a slice for extra indulgence.
