Un-maccha-ed Mediocrity

I am a serious matcha and matcha dessert fan, so I was excited when I chanced upon Maccha nearby Tokyu Hands. We sat down and ordered the matcha chocolate parfait. The menu is pretty expansive and the prices enticing. Service was quick and smooth. Sadly, the praise ends there: the matcha dessert itself was incredibly mediocre.

I am a serious matcha and matcha dessert fan, so I was excited when I chanced upon Maccha nearby Tokyu Hands. We sat down and ordered the matcha chocolate parfait. The menu is pretty expansive and the prices enticing. Service was quick and smooth. Sadly, the praise ends there: the matcha dessert itself was incredibly mediocre. The soft serve was very weakly matcha-flavoured, and the construction of the parfait led to an unappealing mixture of soggy cornflakes and jelly cubes. The matcha chocolate itself was advertised as a specialty item but it was honestly forgettable and didn't mesh very well with the weakly flavoured soft serve ice cream. Especially being on Orchard Rd, there are so many options for matcha-based desserts in the area, such as Matchaya in Takashimaya: if you're a hardcore matcha person, I would head elsewhere instead. All that said, the price point of Maccha is very competitive, especially for their non-dessert items. I would stop by there again if I was in the area and hungry given the price point and service, but I would not seek Maccha out again for dessert.
