Clean, minimalist, and a new addition to the coffee culture at Aperia Mall, it's located beside Ya Kun and stares into the heart of Starbucks and McDonald’s. Like many, I was curious and drawn by the 99-cent promotion. I'd say go for the iced coffee and other drinks, like Matcha. I tried my luck and picked the ones with latte art from their app. I saw how the coffee was prepared. It's no different from the machines in an office or hotel – the one-press-button kind. The lid was a very nicely designed plastic cap with a few movable parts. The design on the cup was nice and modern. The cup was thin, and the coffee was piping hot, so be careful. Now, let’s get down to the coffee. No latte art – not that it's going to make the taste any better, but I thought I would get what I ordered. The Arabic beans lacked aroma and were overpowered by the air bubbles from the milk, which was limp and light. I gave it a second and third shot, but I was unable to extract any flavours from this cup. I was unable to finish the last quarter of the drink. For the first 99 cents, it was a good experience. But in the future, I think you're better off getting coffee from any of the friendly stores in the area.
