Momma Bear's Eats: Happy Lemon Part 3

This is the last time I will blog about Happy Lemon for no other reason than it being too hard to blog everytime I drink some because I drink them a lot.  I have tasted a total of 15 drinks and I have found them all to be wonderful. There's something in the menu for everyone out there.  For the safe there's the normal milk tea with black pearl.  For the adventurous there's the green tea with rock salt.  For the non caffeine fiends you can try the lemon yakult.  For those in need of a green tea fix you can try the Matcha with Malt.

Don't order these to go if you want them at their finest : anything with Crispy, Rock Salt Cheese and the Lemon Yakult.  Drink them there.  This is a picture of my Lemon Yakult... looks nothing like the original.  And the covers are removable so be careful in the car ride, buy only what you can hold.  Lesson learned the hard way. But it was worth the sticky hands and spilled milktea.

Lemon Yakult To Go
Personally my favorite drink there is the Green Tea with Rock Salt Cheese and my favorite to go drink is the Crispy Cocoa Milk Tea with Brownsugar Jelly.  The most refreshing drink for me is the Lemon Peppermint with Nata de Coco.  My favorite topping is their Brownsugar Jelly.   If you haven't tried it yet go now! Stop reading and go now!  Their branch is in Promenade GH.  Right where Fully Booked used to be.
Caramel Milktea With Brownsugar Jelly
Lastly, I end this series with a beautiful conclusion... Happy Lemon's tagline is Happy Everyday!  Well, if you get to drink a cup a day then you really will be happy everyday! :D DRINK UP!  Have a nice weekend everybody!

Momma Bear's Eats: Happy Lemon Part 2

Still loving Happy Lemon, Poppa bear and I went to Lugang for dinner and then went to Happy Lemon.  I wanted him to try it out for himself.  I got out of the car and told him not to park anymore because I was just going to order takeout.... WRONG MOVE!  It took me 13mins to get to the counter and give my orders and another 25mins for my orders to come out.  The unhappy lemon me was sulking at the counter telling the cashier that she should have informed me that it would take that long before taking my order.  I didn't want to stand alone there listening to the childish conversations and annoying voices of HS students.  My eyeballs almost dropped because I kept rolling them the entire time I was there.  They're lucky I really love their tea... because as soon as I got my orders and took my 1st sip in the car I was smiling again!

Tip #1: DON'T go on a weekend if you don't feel like waiting 30mins or more for a drink.
Tip #2:  Don't think you can bring this in the movie theater if there are alot of people in the store.  There were loads of people who were torn between waiting for their drink and missing their movie or leaving their drink and going to the movie.
Tip #3:  Drink it there. Especially the ones with the crispy stuff on top or the Rock Salt because it gets mixed in the car ride home and won't be at its perfect unshaken state.

Crispy Cocoa Matcha with Brown Sugar jelly
If you view the picture closely they gave me a mix of brown sugar jelly and black pearl.  I wasn't happy with the 'surprise' mix because I really love the brown sugar jelly cubes... But thats what you get when there's a long line of angry lemon customers and 2 baristas making 6-8 drinks at a time.

Green Tea with Rocksalt

I ordered this one for Poppa bear to try and he liked it, because he likes all things salty.  :)  Though not at its best because it was shaken in the car.  Still good and yummy :)

Cocoa Milk Tea wtih Puff Cream
The 1st time I went into Happy Lemon I made a mental note to myself to try all the flavors they have.  So far I have tried 9 out of the 47 kinds of drinks they have.  I have no plans of drinking the normal one like Lemon Black tea or Lemon Honey Juice.  Nor do I think I will ever get a Latte there because all I really want to do is drink milk tea.  If I take out the NO WAYs I am now only left with 14 new drinks to try.  I can't wait!  Today I am drinking Cocoa Milk Tea with Puff Cream, like drinking chocolate milk but with a teeny tiny bit of tea flavor. LOVE IT!  The puff cream is a creamy fluffly mixture they spoon around the glass before they pour in the milk tea.  If you don't want your drinks too sweet get the 75% sweetness when ordering ALL cocoa milk teas.  Go to Happy Lemon today at Greenhills Promenade.

Momma Bear's Eats: Happy Lemon

I've heard about it, I've seen the pictures on facebook but it took me almost 2 months after the place opened before I got to taste it.  Happy Lemon made me a happy happy melon (melon bec it's the 1st rhyme that came to mind)!  I bought the Green Tea with rocksalt and cheese at 100% sweetness level.. What a surprise!  It's the culmination of 3 things I love all mixed into 1 drink.  I don't think its for everyone but for people who are used to drinking tea and want to try a new twist to it, this is just the thing for you.

For the less adventurous friends, they got the Milk Tea with Black Pearl.  I am the super fan of milk teas and if you think you've tried it all and found the best... think again. Give THIS a chance.  The pearls are small, some prefer the big ones but these are really chewy.

I also got to try the Lemon Honey with Seaweed Jelly.  Refreshing but I would order so many other things before ordering this.  If i lived in the Happy Lemon House where I can drink Happy Lemon everyday I'm sure i'd order this but not when I only get to go there once in a while.

I ordered a few extra glasses to take home with me.  Today I drink my Cocoa Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Jelly.  Its a bit too sweet, next time I will get it at 50% sugar level but the brown sugar jellys are a winner.  Chewy to the max even if left in the ref for 8hrs already.

Roasted Cocoa Milk Tea
So, I announce today that of all the Milk Teas I've tried in my 30yrs of living, this is the best so far.  I just drank 1 at a bazaar last weekend, tasteless.  Serenitea Hokkaido at home last week, it was great but now I think i've found something even better.  Or maybe I have to try them all together for accuracy.  Any excuse to drink another cup! :)
