I recently chanced upon a new Fruit tea and bakery store at Bedok Mall called MuYoo+ and was really interested to try their food and drinks upon knowing that there was an ongoing promotion. I didn’t actually have a chance to step into their store yet as my brother was the one who tabao the food back for my family to try. I was also really craving for bubble tea during that point of time, but then again, when wouldn’t I?
There was a great deal going on – Buy 1 bread and get 1 drink for free. Being a kiasu Singaporean, of course I shouldn’t miss out on the promotion. And nope! It’s no longer available! 🙁
But is Muyoo actually worth the hype? Read on and find out..
Dirty Drink Series – Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with Pearls ($3.90)
The dirty series seem to be really in trend nowadays! Thankfully, this does not involve dirtying my hands and mouth unlike the “dirty bun”. Stirring the drink also gives that watercolour effect which can be quite instaworthy! The brown sugar added a caramelised taste to the drink and if you are someone who likes caramel flavours, you can give this a shot.
I was actually more inclined towards the Cloud Fruit tea Series which has a layer of Cloud cheese on the top of the drink. I’m a huge fan of Gong Cha Milk Alisan Tea with the layer of foam on the top. It’s somewhat comparable to that, and the cheese isn’t overwhelming which gives a good blend to the fruit tea. I ordered It’s Just Peachy ($5.5) and Strawberry and Banana ($4.9) on separate days and honestly I can’t decide which is better.
The fruity taste was pretty strong and not artificial unlike some others. The drink was also very refreshing and not overly rich like milkshakes/ smoothies. While the drink was pleasant, I felt that the price was pretty steep and I would rather go for a normal bubble tea instead. But I might still reward myself once in a while if I am craving for one!
Unfortunately, the bread was not as fantastic as I have expected. I took one bite of the bun and I immediately thought of Bubblegum. The artificial grape taste was quite a turn-off personally and I didn’t like the after taste. Perhaps it’s just me but I think I would rather stick to fruit flavours like Strawberry and Mango. And yes, I had a sip of the White Grape Fruit Tea and I had the same thoughts about the grape flavour too.
But the burst of flavours from the cream to the bun itself might be a popular choice among kids!
The Strawberry version, on the other hand, had a more pleasant and fresh taste to it. The bread was also really soft, especially because my brother bought it when it was freshly baked and decorated.
The Salted Egg Lava bun was also slightly on the disappointment level as the taste was quite subtle. Even as someone who isn’t a salted egg fanatic, the flavours were way too mild to be noticeable.
While the flavoured buns that I’ve tried were not really worth the hype, I have to give my compliments to the Ori Octoki! Even when the poor Octo was squashed, it still look ugly-cute! There were a lot of flavours going on inside this cute bun – chunks of fresh octopus, cheddar cheese and white chocolate.
Strange combination but surprisingly delicious. I really enjoyed chewing on the octopus with a mix of sweet and savoury flavours. The Ori Octoki is definitely one of the more unique bread flavours I have ever tried, and I wouldn’t mind going back for more!
This is such a quirky packaging, I’ll leave it to you to guess what is inside 😉
No doubt the flavours did caught my attention at the start, but it’s not something that I would want to drink regularly given the higher prices as compared to bubble tea. I would still prefer to stick to something classic. But I would definitely wish to try some other unique bread flavours like Hot Crabby in the future!
