~PREFACE~

I think I've referenced this relative one too many times so I'm gonna give them a name. Bruv, if you're reading this I'm sorry for doxxing your go-to spots 🙏 Anyway, relative lore, they're somewhat of a distant cousin and an avid coffee fan [bros got their own coffee making stuff from around the world which I would steal whenever I visit--]. And so it'll be more honourable, I'll be referring to them as "Cece (Calx's Cousin)" from now on.

Anyway, the footage is actually theirs because I just ordered the drink recently (yesterday) and it was through Grab food since the hotel I was staying in was somewhat far from another branch. And well I assume it's due to transportation... The drink's good sure but it's not so picture perfect when it arrived.

According to them, it's somewhat of a hidden café since you have to go inside a medical clinic to get to its entrance. And hey, if there's one thing I've learned about where to find coffee, it's usually when it's hidden-- Unfortunately, they said they haven't been there for awhile so they're not sure whether or not it's still open. But, they insisted I try the créme brûlèe latte.

Also, they briefly mentioned about how the coffee there is locally sourced and each one has their own flavour profiles. Unfortunately, I've never tried and neither them since they only ever ordered the same latte (after trying it, couldn't blame them).

~THOUGHTS~

Right off the bat, I am not surprised why they would highly recommend this to me. They mentioned how it's like Vietnamese egg coffee without the eggs due to the texture. Sure, it's not like the one in Meraki Cafe in Vietnam but it's akin to the ones content creators make (a more condensed milk-y texture than frothy).

I ordered mine with just 75% sweetness and it's still somewhat sweet. And their coffee is quite refreshing. It's cold brewed too, based on Cece's video. I'm assuming it used Calinog coffee beans since I did catch a mild almost fruity flavour from the coffee.

I shake mine well before drinking so the cream cheese flavour is very subtle. And I noticed a very light, sweet corn taste. Cece told me to have tried the cream cheese foam first before shaking it because I would've understood more of what they meant regarding how it's similar to Vietnamese egg coffee.

Other than that, I find it interesting since other such lattes tend to incorporate eggs. Actually making a créme brûlèe for it with the hard burnt sugar top. Nonetheless, the coffee was quite good.
