Love eskimo's pudding milk tea.
2013-05-19 151 views
Eskimo's pudding milk tea is definitely a cut above any other bubble tea shop's pudding milk tea... having tried a few others like Super Tea & Gong Cha. It is going at $4.50 here.Ranking quite high on my quick fix and comfort food list, the pudding milk tea here has me going back for it multiple times (at least 4-5 times) even if it is out of the way. A must-get every time I drop by Dhoby Ghaut MRT. If you haven't had it before, do try it. You'll never look back at other bubble teas!!!

Pretty good desserts but terrible service
2013-03-18 22 views
Eskimo is honestly my favourite bubble tea shop ever, and I have not patronised Koi or Gongcha ever since I tried this. This time, instead of my usual favourite Pudding Milk Tea ($3.50 for some insanely awesome concoction) I decided to try the Jiufen Taro Balls. Why the sudden interest? I just tried Blackball's version and was curious how Eskimo would fare in the same dessert. Turns out, it was a little different.

 Eskimo is honestly my favourite bubble tea shop ever, and I have not patronised Koi or Gongcha ever since I tried this. This time, instead of my usual favourite Pudding Milk Tea ($3.50 for some insanely awesome concoction) I decided to try the Jiufen Taro Balls. Why the sudden interest? I just tried Blackball's version and was curious how Eskimo would fare in the same dessert.

Turns out, it was a little different.

To introduce what the ingredients in there are - they include sweet potato balls, taro balls, pearls and ice-shavings (red bean option available with top-ups). While it might pale in comparison in terms of amount and variety of ingredients than Blackball, I am impressed and surprised by the amount of ingredients they gave. There were lots of taro and sweet potato balls!!! I kept fishing them out of the bowl just as I thought they were all gone. Definitely impressed. Chewiness-wise... it's stickier than chewy, in fact quite similar to the original ones. But I like it to be chewy so no point being similar to the original ones. The flavouring of the balls is rather faint, but if you concentrate you'll taste it.

It costs $3.90.

I must say that the service at this branch really sucks even though I like the Pudding Milk Tea a lot. I was willing to battle against their bad service for the last few times. This time, somehow the menu on the counter doesn't reflect what they really offer and so they pointed to the pictures on the wall to ask me to choose which one I wanted - with obvious impatience. (They didn't even have other customers!)

Later, their ice machine kind of broke down and they took a super long time to make the dessert - more than 15 minutes. Luckily I had a seat so I was fine with the waiting time. After that, before I could finish my dessert in peace, they asked me to get up and leave because someone else was waiting for the seat. Like, hello, I'm your customer too.

I was really pissed off with the attitude they had. Next time I'll go to other branches.

Not your mainstream bubble tea

Eskimo is definitely not one bubble tea shop that everyone is aware of. Usually when I am here, it doesn't really have a long queue nor many customers around the shop. I guess the location of it isn't very ideal. This eskimo I went to was at the Dhoby Ghaut exchange, meaning the shops right in the MRT station itself. Eskimo has two tables and a few chairs for customers to rest here with their drinks they purchases from Eskimo. Like I've mentioned, this place is usually very quiet, so if you happ

Like I've mentioned, this place is usually very quiet, so if you happen to be at Dhoby Ghaut waiting for someone, or your friends have no where to do, perhaps you can drop by and have a cup of drink while waiting/chatting. I mean, not all bubbletea shops have seats for you already. Look at Koi and Gongcha. They don't do that!

 They even have SMU privilege which is free upsize!
I saw this AFTER i paid for my drink, and I asked if I can still show my SMU card to enjoy the privilege, the person denied. But the thing is, my bubble tea wasn't even prepared yet. I feel quite pissed with her, but what can I do? Didn't show it before I pay.

 They also have some promotions here and there, which they will change regularly.

 Do remember to get the stamps card to redeem a free drinks after a few purchases I think!
It's just like the old school days where cards are given, and stamps are awarded with every one purchase. At the end of the day, you'll be able to redeem a free drink after 10 stamps or something.

Try Eskimo today, and forget about koi and gongcha!
Personally, I feel that they are pretty much the same and nothing much different!


Hope you liked my review!

Eskimo Bubble Milk Tea
2012-07-11 34 views
Eskimo bubble milk tea is very nice. It has more milk taste than tea taste which is what I loved. The bubbles are very small and chewy which can be real addictive and yet it makes my mouth tired. I did not like my drink to be too sweet thus, I have chosen the fifty percent sugar level. It is freshly brew and it has a short queue every time I patronize them.

Milk Tea
2012-07-06 37 views
Went to dhouby ghaut last friday and my friend introduced this shop to me. So i decided to order the mini bubble milk tea with small pearls. To me, the taste of the milk tea is just like those milk tea from Koi or Chatime. It is actually the pearls that attracted me as they are so mini in size but yet chewy enough. It doesn't cost much, only around $2.40 if i am not wrong.

My friend ordered this Mint milk tea with pearls for me! This is my second time drinking eskimo and i think the milk tea standard is still the same which has a strong artifical milk taste, therefore never like their milk tea. However the mint is a little light which is acceptable to a person who does not really take mint at all. Would try other type like green tea or red tea except milk tea.
