I purposely chose the left corner seat, right in front of the counter with the sink at Matcha Studio, for a front-row view of my matcha latte being prepared—a little behind-the-scenes experience that made the wait even more enjoyable!
Skipped Ren this time, scared it would be too bitter for me, treated myself to a Kiku matcha latte (less ice, less sugar) and was impressed that they opted for Eco Yap fresh milk, a well-regarded choice among locals. The bold umami of Kiku blended smoothly with the milk, creating a balanced and satisfying matcha experience.
Paired it with a matcha croissant, perfectly flaky with a delicious green tea aroma.
Couldn’t resist bringing home matcha choux and matcha tart for my family—because great matcha bakes are meant to be shared!
Verdict: A must-try for matcha lovers! Next time, maybe I’ll be brave enough for Ren which the menu describes to give a super high umami flavour. 😆
