UCC Coffee Shop

UCC Coffee shop is located in the middle of the mall — or you can chose the indoor seating which offers a little more privacy from the people walking by.
We stopped by to get a quick drink and talk a bit.
+ Skip out on the fruit tea. It looks beautiful with all the fruit floating around in the clear pot but taste exactly like hot orange juice.
+ Matcha cake was decent would recommend.

This is one of my favorite places to go to for an afternoon tea. While most cafes do tea sets only on weekdays, UCC does them on weekends as well which is great because their sets are actually pretty good value for money. They come with food and a drink, and most people get hot coffee because their coffee is AMAZING. It’s UCC Japanese-​style roasted coffee, so it’s not the typical coffee you’re used to drinking. It’s much smoother and richer and I actually prefer UCC coffee to western-​style coffee. The iced coffee is very refreshing, though when served this way the ice dilutes the flavor of the coffee so I prefer opting for the hot coffee.
The tea set menu doesn’t change often, and the first few options are always waffles — both sweet and savory, like waffles with blueberries and ice cream, matcha and red bean waffles, tuna salad with waffles etc. They gave other items too like French toast and a slice of cake, but the waffles are amazing and I choose that almost every time I’m there for tea. The waffles don’t have the overly ‘eggy’ taste that I find in a lot of waffles at other places, and they’re just the right about of sweet. The set comes with two waffles which to me is just about right for an afternoon tea set — doesn’t leave me feeling bloated, but I don’t feel like I’ve barely eaten either.
