This was the first time I've seen a brewed tea machine, and it looks like a coffee machine. Oh well, this is probably a rather unique device from Chaitime, so do pay them a visit at AXA Tower, 8 Shenton Way #B1-02 (Main Lobby)

I had Lemongrass Chai Tea, I enjoyed it very much.

TransZ Coffee is a Singapore based company that was established in 2006.

Nice coffee art for my cappuccino from TransZ Coffee.

I love the Korean fusion chocolate drink with a subtle of mint refreshing and rich soft chocolate from Taco Tea & Coffee.

I was given a sample drink of the Mint Choco... All I can say is, I savored every single bit of it and I truly indulged in this wonderful taste from the first sip to the last drop.
