#favouriteitinerary There’s nothing quite like catching up with friends over a beautifully crafted cup of matcha, and Hvala remains one of our favourite places to do so. More than just a café, it is a tranquil haven where the artistry of Japanese tea culture is celebrated in a modern yet serene setting. Designed with an elegant minimalist aesthetic, Hvala’s interiors exude a sense of calm and refinement. The flagship outlet at Odeon Tower is particularly inviting, offering a range of seating arrangements tailored to different preferences—sleek counter seats for quiet contemplation, intimate tables for conversation, plush sofas for relaxed gatherings, and traditional Japanese-style seating where guests can sit on cushions, shoeless, for an authentic and immersive experience. Tea enthusiasts will appreciate Hvala’s meticulously curated selection. Their matcha, sourced from the renowned tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, takes center stage, accompanied by an exquisite variety of Japanese teas, including sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha. Every cup is carefully brewed to highlight its delicate nuances, ensuring a harmonious balance of depth, aroma, and flavour. Complementing these teas is an indulgent selection of artisanal desserts—crispy waffles, elegantly crafted cakes, and silky smooth gelato. Matcha lovers, in particular, will find delight in signature treats such as matcha affogato, parfait, and finely layered matcha cakes. Beyond its offerings, Hvala fosters an appreciation for the art of tea. Guests can explore an assortment of tea-related essentials, including premium tea leaves and handcrafted chasen (tea whisks), perfect for those looking to bring the experience home. #localfood #myitinerary #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #afternoonteatime #singaporetrip

Hvala at Tanjong pagar I’ve been to many Hvala outlet and this is one of the most interesting one that I’ve explored so far. This outlet is so different from other outlets, this place is quite and chill, also very spacious. There are even a corner for you to pick up games like exploding kitten and lots of magazines. It’s an ideal place for a big group of friends :) I’ve tried some new items today and love it! First time ordering their vegan waffle ice cream and we love it! The waffle is crispy and has a unique brown rice taste? And it goes so well with the match we ordered because the dessert is sweet and the matcha is bitter, so it sort of balance out. The other new items I ordered was the sesame parfait and it’s so yummy, I’m sure you will love this if you like sesame. There are sesame ice cream and sesame waffle, and the base is like some sesame cookies and cream, this dessert is so complex 🤩 As usual, our alll time favourite is the mochi!! It’s always so nice especially when you eat with the brown sugar! Drinks are pretty standard, ordered a ice blended hojicha and I think it’s quite nice as well! I would recommend this place if you just want to have a tea and chill with your friends :)
