Chanoma, CBD


Welcome to the world of contemporary tea houses, where the 'matchas' are as artificially green as can possible be. Chanoma is home to a large assortment of green tea combinations, hot dogs and parfaits (fancy term for sundaes). It's located at Regents place which is where all the busy workers like to hang during the lunch breaks.

Matcha 4.9
Green tea is an artform; do it right and you get that wonderful green tea perfume, do it wrong and it's all bitter. They've steamed the milk so it's all wonderfully sweet on top but incredibly bitter on the bottom. I guess the whipped cream and palm sugar syrup does alleviate it but then it loses it's green tea flavour. 


Teriyaki Chicken Japadog 5.5
Their chicken 'Japadog' actually arrives as a fried chicken breast instead of a hotdog. It's hard to eat but the combination of onions, avocado, wasabi mayo and a dousing of sweet teriyaki sauce really gets you going.


Shaked fries with soy and seaweed 4.4
Soy butter and seaweed are a delectable combination and when paired with fries, they were my favourite. They're sort of like Mcdonald's shoe string ones but a whole lot more crispier and yummier. 


It seems to suffer an identity crisis as it figures out, what it does. There's a Mexican soundtrack play in the background oddly enough and with the hot dogs  and sweets and all, its tea focus is relegated as a background. It's fairly decent, serve out some pretty good chips, fairly priced and it's worth a visit for the novelty but it's not quite my cup of 'cha'.

Matcha drinks are a fave of mine!! The lattes would be especially warming on cold Winter days like what we've been having lately :)

I've become a fan of matcha drinks - especially frappes in summer, and lattes in the winter! Either way, they're both amazing and always makes me giddy inside!

Hey that's a nice review. I like how Teriyaki Chicken looks on the photo.

No, we aren't the most amazing gastronomes or chefs. Heck, half our team doesn't even know how to cook... well. However, what we really love is eating. And lots of it. We enjoy that occasional freebie, filling up that craving for a midnight snack and finding a 20 in our pockets that we thought we never had, and using that as an excuse to go out eating. As we battle the ongoing war on uni student poverty, we'll bring you the most swoon worthy recounts of our latest foodie adventures.
