Drips Bakery Café, Sakanoue hand Matchaya Launch Limited-Time Matcha-Strawberry Collaboration

Three dessert specialists, Sakanoue, Matchaya, and Drips Bakery have come together recently. Sakanoue is a popular Japanese brand known for their kakigori (shaved ice), while Matchaya is a Singaporean tea company providing artisanal tea products.

With each brand bringing their own specialties to the table, Sakanoueue with their ice imported from Kuramoto, Matchaya with their premium Uji matcha powder, and Drips Bakery with their handcrafted desserts, they have formed a new delicious dessert series for all sweets lovers.

Exclusively at their Tiong Poh Road outlet, Drips Bakery Café is introducing their new Matcha Strawberry desserts, with:

Matcha Strawberry Field Kakigori ($18.80)

Drips’ Matcha Strawberry Croissant ($6.80)

The kakigori was melt-in-your-mouth, with a cream on top sprinkled with matcha powder and matcha sauce. We were pleasantly surprised to find multiple layers in the kakigori, the first being their matcha and the second being strawberries, with nice tart strawberry pieces hidden at the bottom of the flaky snow mountain. Singapore has been really hot these days, so their kakigori was the perfect sweet treat to cool off from the tropical heat.

We were told not only did Sakanoue ship the shaving ice machines all the way to their cafe, but they also personally taught the staff how to make the kakigori, along with a gentle hand technique to carefully mold the kakigori into that pretty, Instagrammable ball of ice. That’s why these delicious icy treats can only be found specifically in the Tiong Poh outlet.

Their ice isn’t any ordinary ice either; it’s been shipped from Kuramoto and let to melt so that it can be smooth enough to make those amazing snow flakes.

The croissant, although not as good as the kakigori, was still quite pleasant and flaky, with some strawberry jam in the middle and lots of matcha outside, it went quite well with the tea.

Overall, the atmosphere was nice, the pastries were great, and the shaved ice was even better. Head over to the Tiong Poh outlet of Drips Bakery Cafe as soon as possible and indulge in one of the nicest sweet treats that can also counter the sweltering heat.
