matcha at clarke quay central

As a matcha enthusiast, visiting The Açaí Teahouse at Clarke Quay Central to try their Uji Matcha Latte was quite an experience. One thing to note upfront is that this latte is made with soy milk by default, with no option to switch to regular dairy milk. This choice significantly affects the overall flavor profile since the soy milk tends to overpower the delicate taste of matcha, which I found a bit disappointing. Despite this, you can still detect small bits of matcha powder in the drink, giving it a textured feel rather than a completely smooth latte. The latte carries a slightly bitter, earthy note typical of Uji matcha but masked somewhat by the creamy and sweet character of the soy milk. Pricing-wise, the drink is reasonably set at $7.90 for an iced version and slightly cheaper at $7.50 for hot. Considering the taste balance, I would rate it a 4/10 as the soy milk dominance takes away from the pure matcha flavor I appreciate. If you are a matchaholic like me looking to experience authentic matcha, this latte might not fully satisfy your cravings, but it offers a unique twist with plant-based milk. For those open to new flavor combinations or seeking a refreshing matcha drink in a trendy setting, The Açaí Teahouse provides a nice ambiance at Clarke Quay Central. From my visit, I’d suggest trying it with an open mind about the soy milk influence or asking if customization is possible in the future to enhance the matcha taste further. Overall, it’s good to explore different matcha places and find what suits your palate best.
