Back at Moof because one visit wasn’t enough

Visiting Moof a second time to try their Royal Pudding Matcha was definitely a rewarding experience. What struck me most was not just the quality of the matcha but the thoughtfulness behind every component of the dessert. The ceremonial grade matcha used here comes from Shizuoka, Japan, harvested during the 1st flush, which is known for its delicate and refined flavor profile. This matcha was milled using a bead mill method, which helps preserve its natural astringency and brings out nutty and vegetal notes. What truly sets this dessert apart is the layered flavor experience. The housemade strawberry jam at the bottom adds a fresh, fruity touch that balances beautifully with the rich vanilla milk pudding. Unlike many puddings that can feel overly sweet or heavy, this one manages a light, creamy texture that complements the earthy bitterness of the matcha. Stirring the pudding and jam together with the matcha creates a harmonious blend of umami, sweetness, and tartness. Another detail I appreciated was the flavor note card included with the order, which explains the specific cultivar blend of Yabukita and Okumidori. For matcha enthusiasts or anyone curious, it’s a nice touch that adds depth to the tasting experience and reflects the cafe's dedication to quality and education. Moreover, Moof’s charm isn’t just in the food; the ambience at 70 Shenton Way is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing break or a casual meet-up. For anyone interested in exploring speciality matcha beverages and desserts, this place is a must-visit. If you're a fan of matcha or looking to try a unique dessert with authentic ingredients and a well-balanced taste, the Royal Pudding Matcha at Moof offers a delightful experience that’s worth coming back for.
