Makan First: Treats across Singapore

Drink tea in style with Gong Cha

Bubble tea brand Gong Cha needs no introduction, but have you tried its latest special limited-edition drink — the Golden Salted Egg Milk Foam Tea?

The tea is brewed with brown sugar, a healthier alternative to normal castor sugar, and Gong Cha’s in-house green tea.

Layered on top of the drink is milk foam made from a blend of milk and salted egg.

Gong Cha staff suggest two ways of drinking the tea — sip the foam to get a taste of the salted egg first, then drink the sweetened tea; or mix it all together first.

However you consume it, the Golden Salted Egg Milk Foam Tea is sure to be a refreshing experience. Celebrate the festive season with this tasty drink now!

• Buy a limited-edition Gong Cha Tumbler at $10 (U.P. $18.80) with every purchase of two cups of Gong Cha drinks, while stocks last.

DOUGH CULTURE

Dough Culture has been around since 1994 and its story began when the founder, Mr Alex Ong, decided to automate the dough-making process after seeing a group of elderly women manually kneading, rolling and frying dough at their stalls.

He learnt the art of traditional dough-making and also experimented to perfect the technique of dough freezing to lengthen the dough's shelf life and retain its freshness.

Mr Ong designed and built an automated dough-making machine capable of creating fresh dough fritters with consistent taste, texture and appearance.

Today Dough Culture produces and sells a wide range of dough products including traditional snacks such as you tiao, red bean buns, salted buns, butterfly buns, and many others as well.

Its products are freshly hand-made at each outlet, thus ensuring that they are always crispy and soft. They are halal-certified and suitable for vegetarians too.

In the past, the traditional snacks such as you tiao were usually served as breakfast, and were not available after noon.

But Dough Culture now serves these snacks all day long
