| - To this date of writing my review, I have visited Cha Me Cha twice with friends. Both times we ordered their snow ice (assuming its their store specialty too).
Cha Me Cha may be slighly harder to find as its located inside the T&T supermarket plaza/mall. The best location to park is near the end within the parking lot. Walking inside, you will see an open kitchen-type concept with the sitting area mostly wooden and couched themed. The walls were more or so bare and not decorated.
P.S. I found the seating so-so. The chairs were slightly small, especially if you aren't on the couch tables.
One of the key thing I disliked when ordering, was the fact they asked for a minimum order of one item per person. My friends and I just had dinner and was coming here only for the snow ice as dessert, but ended up having to order three menu items. As you can imagine - super bloated afterwards!!
We ordered the Snow White (milk snow ice), crispy chicken, and sweet milk custard brick toast. The hot food came first - not sure if it was intentional or unintentional but it was the right move:)
The popcorn/cripsy chicken was pretty good. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but it could be softer (only comparing it with legit Taiwanese crispy chicken that I once had).
The snow ice, on the other hand, was quite delicious! The milk taste was there but not too overpowering - it was subtle. I really liked the juice bubbles too and it actually might have more taste in comparison with the snow ice. Overall, the snow ice was really smooth as if there's a lot of air in between. Every bite melts in your mouth.. not like ice cream and not like shaved/blended ice either.
Weird thing, we saw most people ordering the green tea flavored one. I tried ordering mango or green tea snow ice the second time I came, both were sold out boo! Perhaps we shall some other time when I'm more lucky haha. The only reason we only didn't choose green tea the first round was because earlier that day, my party already had taro, mango, and green tea bubble teas.. didn't want to repeat.
Overall, the foods were delicious and were served fast. Service itself was alright, nothing too surprisingly outstanding. The second visit I had, our only order of snow ice may have been missed. Not sure if they forgot or was slow at making it, but it only came out after speaking to the waiter 30 minutes later.
