matcha spot in a hawker centre?!

discovered this on my tiktok fyp the other day and decided to give it a try ~~

⤷ matcha latte $8

absolutely loved the colour and its taste did not disappoint! i would say the Yabukita matcha is more on the nuttier side but nonetheless really smooth and creamy, their matchas are all whisked on the spot

would try their banana matcha another time! ($9...) instead of banana pudding they added a rich banana mascarpone cream ☺️

... Read moreWhen I first heard about Diff Specialty serving matcha in a hawker centre environment, I was intrigued by how quality matcha could be delivered in such a casual setting. Visiting the location at 114 Lavender Street, I was immediately impressed by how they whisk the matcha fresh on the spot, which really enhanced the creaminess and flavor profile. The Yabukita matcha they use stands out with its nuttier notes, distinguishing it from other matchas I've tried, which often lean more grassy or bitter. Beyond the matcha latte priced at $8, the menu includes innovative options like the banana matcha, which caught my eye with its addition of rich banana mascarpone cream instead of the typical banana pudding. This twist added a creamy sweetness without overpowering the matcha's subtle earthy notes. This balance is something I’ve rarely found in other matcha beverages. I also found their cold brew selections interesting. The fusion of matcha with cold brew coffee options offers a refreshing way to start the day, especially for those who appreciate a robust flavor combination. It's a fantastic spot for matcha enthusiasts and anyone in the Bendemeer area looking for a unique cafe experience with specialty drinks at affordable hawker pricing. If you’re exploring cafe-style drinks in Singapore's local scene, Diff Specialty at CT Hub serves an authentic taste experience and a perfect example of how matcha can be adapted creatively without losing its traditional essence. Next time, I’ll definitely try their cold brew banana black matcha to see how well the fruit and matcha blend together. Overall, I highly recommend this hidden gem for those who crave quality matcha and won’t mind discovering it within the bustling hawker centre atmosphere.
