I must have missed this THAI-riffic Milk Tea Bean Curd (泰奶豆花系列) promotion the last time it was available. So, when Nine Fresh (九鲜) brought back this milk tea dessert for the month of June 2025, I had to try it. Almost missed it again by just a few days but I am glad I managed to buy it.

Of the three milk tea bean curd desserts, I bought the THAI-riffic A (麻薯蒟蒻泰奶豆花) as this one had mochi Q, konjac jelly and 8 pieces of taro balls. The milk tea fragrance and taste are a good match with the smooth and silky bean curd. The cubes of mochi Q are soft and not chewy as I thought they would be. If Thai milk tea is your cup of tea, be sure to try before the promotion ends.

I redeemed the Black Cup (荔枝蒟蒻仙草) for mum using the accumulated stamps from my Rewards card. It is worth S$3.50 and I added sweetened red beans (+S$0.70) to the grass jelly, lychee pearl jelly, konjac jelly, black pearl, milk ball and taro balls.

Week 52.6/52: December 25th - December 31st 2023 | 铜锅涮肉 🏮

Finally tried Corner Hot pot with Katie after watching 一闪一闪亮星星✨ yums! Ate lots of lamb! Such a good combo with sesame sauce. Also visited Meetfresh... but don't ever order hot grass jelly because that's just black soup... >_< It's New Year's Eve Eve. The year is quickly ending.

Nine Fresh (九鲜) is promoting a series of White Peach Ai-Yu desserts for the month of May. Let’s ap-peach-iate the little joys in life, because life’s a peach! As usual, it comes in three peachy combinations to choose from.

My White Peach Ai-Yu A (荔枝蒟蒻白桃爰玉仙草冻) comes with half each of white peach ai-yu jelly and grass jelly, topped with canned lychee (2 pcs), konjac jelly and taro balls (8pcs). Mum had the White Peach Ai-Yu C (柚子椰果白桃爰玉冻) with white peach ai-yu jelly, yuzu pearl jelly, nata de coco and taro balls (6 pcs) plus an addon of sweetened red beans (S$0.70). However, the white peach flavoured ai-yu is more subtle than last month’s Mango Passion Ai-Yu which I much preferred.

The month of April sees Nine Fresh (九鲜) bringing back an old seasonal favourite, the Mango Passion Ai-Yu desserts with new combinations and the same mango-nificient flavour that makes your taste buds dance a little tango!

I picked Mango Passion A (黑糖薏仁爆珠百香寒天) and it comes with mango passion ai-yu jelly, mango passion kantan, barley popping jelly, black sugar jelly dice and taro balls. Mum took the Mango Passion C (蒟蒻百香寒天) and she ask for added sweetened red beans (+S$0.70) in addition to the mango passion ai-yu jelly, mango passion kantan, konjac jelly and taro balls.

We dine out most weekends since mum like to visit the local supermarket for some grocery shopping. As per the usual, I will check out Nine Fresh (九鲜) to see what promotion they have for the current month. They have brought back the Lychee Red Tea Ai-Yu Jelly promotion plus new Tang Yuan (汤圆) selections.

I took Lychee Tea Ai-Yu A (荔枝红茶爱玉冻) which comes with lychee tea ai-yu, konjac jelly, black pearl and taro balls. Somehow my tastebuds think the lychee tea ai-yu tasted more floral than the actual fruit. Mum’s Fruity Ai-Yu Jelly (水果晶球爱玉冻) has aloe vera pearl jelly, mango pearl jelly, konjac jelly, milk ball and taro balls. Plus, I asked for sweetened red beans to be added so the price is S$3.80 + S$0.70.
