| - Came to Charidise around 8:30, and noticed a big sign outside offering 50% off on drinks with purchase of honey toast, waffle, or snack from 8:30 to closing. Went in.
Haven't been here since their grand opening back in January, so it was nice to see that their self-serve machine have been implemented and are working. If you're the shy type or like to take your time deciding what to order, head to one of the four self-serve machines set up near the menu. Not sure if they accept cards or not because I still had my VIP card from back then for a 15% discount on cash purchase.
The menu has also changed a bit, with more items to choose from. I think the bubbleteas used to be around $7 for a large (I should've written how much I paid for it back then, instead of just "1 or 2 dollars more"), but now they start at $5 for a basic milk tea, which I think is much better (competitive prices vs the other options nearby like CoCo or 168)
I ordered the charidise milk tea, half sugar and no ice, with tapioca on top. It was still somewhat sweet, so maybe quarter sugar would be better. The tapioca was very chewy, very firm. Definitely superior in quality to that of chatime and CoCo that I had in the past week. Haven't tried any of the other toppings but the tapioca is a must-add.
The area enclosed in glass at the back had extremely powerful air-conditioning going. It was like walking into a fridge, which was very welcome given that it felt like 30 C outside. Their marble table definitely felt ice cold and awesome. Definitely the best place to be if you're looking to escape the heat. Hopefully they will keep this area the freezer throughout the summer, and make it a sauna during the colder season.
