Ochacha... here i come... @ Raffles City

Just about a month ago, Breadpig organised a foodie outing to Ochacha and i wanted to go too! But i was in Taiwan. When i came back and saw all the pictures that they have posted up... Day and night ive been thinking of it... loL... I must try the green tea and the sandwiches!

and so here i am at Ochacha!

Mushroom Soup - Lots of mushrooms bits and chunks and hence its name. lol. Seriously, the amount of mushroom is pretty generous, but sadly, its a tat too salty... its way too salty actually. It will be great if the soup can bring out the natural taste of the mushroom itself without the overpowering salty taste. But it is still not too bad comparable to other soups.

Azuki Freezie ($6.50) - Ice Blended Green Tea with Azuki Red Beans
The aroma of the green tea is still pretty strong despite the sweetness of the red beans. Blending green tea and red beans is indeed ingenious... I love these!

Furikake Salmon Sandwich ($5.90) - Furikake is the small little bits of things that is sprinkled over the salmon. The salmon is quite alot for the size of the sandwich, salmon lovers will definitelylove this... and yes i do! But the wierd thing is how come I am given wholemeal bread that looks like it is from Gardenia... and why Breadpig was given another type of bread? hmm hmm... but i am fine with it cos i love wholemeal anyway.

The sandwich set comes with the garden salad, which has lettuce, cherry tomatoes, japanese cucumber, corn and some wasabi coated peas... there is also a few piece of chips by the side. thanks goodness its only a little.

Wasabi Tuna Sandwich - This sandwich is more evenly toasted, which i prefer... It is stuffed pretty generously with wasabi tuna, and you can tell the staff the intensity of the wasabi during your order, either strong or normal. Every bite has a strong hint of wasabi...cheerios to wasabi fans.

Overall, I like O cha cha... and it will definitely be my tea time hangout area should I be around the vicinity...

    hi nic! yea, i do agree with u tt the drinks are better than the food... probably because there is not much cafes offering matcha drinks... unlike sandwiches which are so common.

    matcha latte! ok noted! :)

    Hello there!

    yeah i love the azuki also! hmm, on the three times i been to Ochacha, the bread has been the same, but certainly not the "gardenia-look alike" bread that you got.

    I know the boss there, i help u ask her see what they have to say about it. haha

    Cheers
    Brad
