I happened to be at Aperial Mall after getting the bread from Thai Baang bakery at Kitchener Complex. I was waiting for a friend to arrive before we walked to the nearby Taiwanese restaurant. While waiting for my friend, I walked around and was glad to see some of the old shops are still around, and there are many new shops too. One of them is Luckin Coffee.
I thought Luckin Coffee just came into Singapore, I did not expect they have a few branches around Singapore including one at Aperia Mall. There were plenty of people sitting inside the cafe which used to be another coffee brand too. I think some of the settings of the previous cafe remained the same.
Background
Luckin Coffee primarily used a blend of Arabica beans for its coffee offerings. Arabica beans are known for their high quality and desirable flavour characteristics. Luckin Coffee aimed to provide affordable coffee options to its customers, and as such, it sourced its Arabica beans from multiple origins to maintain a balance between cost and quality.
$0.99 promotion drink
As Luckin Coffee is having a promotion for new users who downloaded their application to order their first drink for $0.99 only. It is really a good deal especially ordering a cup of iced coffee that is worth $6 or $7. The price is not cheap either. So, it is a dollar off the drink and can choose any drink from their menu.
Once my friend arrived at Aperial Mall, we walked past this cafe and both of us decided to order a drink to share. She has friends in China who knew this brand well but we did not ask them for recommendations. Instead, we just tried our luck by picking the best seller.
Iced Coconut Latte
It is one of their top drinks, perhaps, it is not their best drink. I checked some bloggers who ordered this drink and shared their reviews.
Well, personally, I found the drink tasted quite salty. I wondered why, so some coconut water tastes savoury. The coffee and milk lightly tasted. It was covered by the intense saltiness from the coconut water. It tasted something like a salted caramel drink but less sweet. I did not enjoy it much and I did not want to waste the drink too.
I would not go for this flavour anymore. I think it is good to try their hot Americano to see how its actual black coffee tastes. Overall, I am not putting high hope on their coffee, so I will not be rushing to try 2nd cup.
Address: Aperia Mall, 12 Kallang Ave, #01-34, Singapore 339511. Google rating: 3.9 stars (IMHO, for the drink I will give 3.0 stars).
