O ChaCha, the matcha latte people.
It is amusing how these words contradicted in nature; that hilarious-sounding name seriously needed some professional subtitle to back up. Yes one of a brand new face emerging admidst the Raffles City extension, to my delight, is a bold venture into japanese green tea and its relative associates.
Somehow i got enlightened; O-Cha means green tea in Japanese and Cha is tea in Chinese. So the coming together of the two cultures marries tradition and creativity into a matcha latte story to win the heart of tea lovers. Like me & dad.
One weekend we sat in for doses of matcha goodness, beverage concoctions and a couple of tea-based desserts. The service staff were friendly in recommending the various drinks, doing much help for my fickle character.
Matcha Latte ($4.80)
The hot version i had (i feel better than Dad's iced one) was something out of the ordinary. Taste premium with this soothing green hue infused with creamy milk froth. Not hard to lap up at all.
Matcha Sesame Cake ($4)
The next wonder found beared much ooh-ing factor. A delicious assemble of fluffy sponge, rich cream and a hint of candied red beans were well-alternated were and matched cohesively in the mouth. Not oversweet too.
Matcha Financier ($1.80)
Dad picked a less enticing dessert which he personally enjoyed. It looked like a slab of dense flat cake but was served warm with a touch of whipped cream and almond flakes by the side.
We were won over. This specialisation is worth a try and probably a revisit.

for the price, this is one dessert well worth coming back.
Elaine will have a different opinion about the rating of this dessert after she tried the cotton cake....see her next posting.
