You’ve seen Dalgona coffee being whipped up by the masses all over social media. It has taken the internet by storm, and people have come up with their own recipes for this sweet drink. Dalgona is a type of Korean honeycomb candy, and Dalgona coffee is a whipped coffee treat that is made typically using instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. For our Dalgona coffee recipe, click here.

The Matcha Dalgona Latte is a twist to the usual Dalgona whipped drink, and today we’ll show you an easy matcha dalgona latte recipe on how you can make this popular drink in 3 simple steps.

All you need is an egg white, matcha powder, and sugar to make matcha dalgona latte at home.

HOW TO MAKE MATCHA DALGONA LATTE – STEP 1

Step 1: Get your egg white, matcha powder, and sugar ready. Whip your egg white in a bowl until you have a frothy, thick texture. For us, we’ve used a whisk to get the egg white to the right consistency. It might take a while, so patience is key.

Step 2: Scoop sugar into the mix and continue whipping. Sift the matcha powder and whisk until the matcha is fully mixed in. Whip until it reaches a firm peak consistency. Firm peaks should stick to your whisk.

Step 3: Pour milk into a glass and add the whipped matcha in. Mix and enjoy your matcha dalgona latte!

Pro-Tips:
If you want a matcha dalgona vegan recipe without egg, aquafaba is a good alternative to egg whites. Aquafaba is a fancy word for the liquid inside a can of legumes such as chickpeas.

Add more sugar for a foamier and thicker texture.

If there’s one food fad that will never run out of style, it’s got to be Matcha. There’s just something about that bright green colour and earthy rich flavour that keeps everyone coming back for more each time. It’s definitely one of our favourite drinks of all time, too!

Here’s a curated list of some must-try matcha drinks in Singapore – meant for hardcore matcha fans and even the newest addition to the matcha-lovers’ family. Whether it’s to warm you up on a chilly, rainy afternoon or to refresh you in Singapore’s heat, this list for matcha drinks has got you covered.

108 MATCHA SARO

One of the more affordable matcha drinks at S$4.90, 108 Matcha Saro whips up a decent matcha latte. As one of Hokkaido’s most popular matcha cafes, you just know that their matcha will be good quality. Their latte is made from ceremonial-grade matcha powder, giving it a vegetal, floral flavour with a lingering smoky aftertaste.

% ARABICA

One of the most popular cafes in Singapore right now, % Arabica and their matcha latte hail from Kyoto, Japan.

If you prefer your matcha lattes on the subtle side with a heavier dose of creamy milk, you’ll find % Arabica’s matcha latte to be your cup of tea. The matcha here is more floral, earthy and creamy – a result of the harmonious blend of milk and their high-quality matcha.

COLUMBUS COFFEE CO.

Sister cafe to the ever-popular Atlas Coffeehouse is Columbus Coffee. In addition to their delectable cold brew coffees, they also have their Matcha Warrior cold brew matcha latte! It’s a refreshing take on matcha lattes, making it more concentrated and bursting with floral and umami notes from the matcha. Yet, it is still super creamy!

GATHER THE MISFITS

A relatively new cafe taking over the defunct CPlus+, this hipster joint also serves a pretty decent cup of matcha. Their matcha latte is hand-whisked and no sugar is added, so you can really taste the true flavour of the green tea. It had a smooth finish while still maintaining the characteristic bitterness of good-quality matcha.

HVALA

Hvala’s Japanese-style minimalist interior is extremely calming and it provides a perfect backdrop to relax. This matcha cafe specializes in using premium-grade matcha powder in all their food and drinks.

Their Matcha latte is freshly whisked and gently poured over milk to create a beautiful gradient. Sipping it down, the bitter taste of the matcha is contrasted by the milk and a little sweetness from sugar syrup.

KURASU

This Japanese coffee shop is tucked away in Odeon Towers, located in the heart of the town. Their minimalistic design, fragrant coffee aroma and soothing ambiance draw in many creatives and individuals who are able to enjoy some alone time or to catch up on work.

They use matcha powder from Morihan, Kyoto. Their Matcha Latte leans towards the sweeter side, so those who are not a fan of the bitter aftertaste in matcha drinks should enjoy this.

MACCHA HOUSE

Maccha House serves an array of Japanese-style savoury mains (think udon and rice bowls), but we say skip the mains, and dive right for their amazing desserts and drinks! Their matcha latte is a total must-try! It’s super silky and has a nice floral aftertaste. Mix in the whipped cream on top to make it a tad sweeter and creamier.

TACHIHARA COFFEE

Brought about by the same people behind popular Japanese bakery, Pullman Bakery, Tachihara Coffee’s drinks and sandwiches are just as well-loved as the bread and bakes there.

TSUJIRI

The true “OG” of all matcha cafes in Singapore, Tsujiri reigns supreme in their matcha concoctions. Their special premium matcha powder is stored in a special tea cabinet that keeps tea fresh for longer – an innovation by the founder himself. Their matcha drinks are by far the smoothest, creamiest and packed with big flavour from the tea. Tsujiri is a must-go if you’re a diehard matcha fan!

Tsujiri has multiple outlets. See the full list here.

THE ASSEMBLY GROUND

If you’re one of the rare few who believe in harmony between coffee and tea, you will love the Dirty Matcha from The Assembly Ground. By mixing espresso and matcha, they create a unique yet perfect blend of the two strong flavours – one is earthy and floral while one is more bitter and acidic. It’s brought together with milk, mellowing out the strong flavours just enough to make it cohesive.

THE MATCHA PROJECT

Tucked in the basement of The Sail—a shopping mall in Marina Bay—The Matcha Project has since made a name among working professionals whose offices are nearby. Feed your tea obsession with matcha, houjicha and genmaicha drinks when you visit The Matcha Project.

The beverage came in just the right temperature for us to sip on immediately without scalding our tongues. While we prefer it au naturel with a slightly bitter aftertaste, you get to choose the amount of sugar to add in should you prefer it to be sweeter.

Previously known as the brand that brought the Instagram-worthy Hong-Kong style egglet waffles to Singapore in 2015, Hvala since has rebranded as an all-matcha lifestyle cafe. They have recently opened their second outlet at TripleOne Somerset, boasting the same chic, zen vibe as their outlet at CHIJMES.

Serving all-things Matcha, think Matcha Lattes, Whisked Matcha, Matcha cakes and Matcha Ice Cream, Hvala is an oasis for true matcha fans in Singapore.

Walking into Hvala at TripleOne Somerset was like walking into a modern Japanese Garden. Its Japanese-style minimalist interior was extremely calming and it provided the perfect backdrop to relax and enjoy the food and drinks.

It would be a great place to spend an afternoon catching up with friends over tea or just having some nice alone-time.

We first had to try the Matcha Latte (S$5.80) and we were not disappointed. The Matcha was freshly whisked and gently poured over milk to create a beautiful gradient. Sipping it down, the bitter taste of the matcha is contrasted by the milk and a little sweetness from the sugar syrup.

The Matcha was wonderfully smooth and flavourful with a floral note to it. It was pretty much one of the best Matcha Lattes we have had in Singapore.

To pair with our Matcha Latte, we ordered a slice of Hvala’s Hojicha Cake (S$7.80). Light and airy Hojicha-infused sponge is layered with fresh cream, adzuki beans and a generous drizzle of thick Hojicha sauce.

We loved how the smoky aroma of Hojicha was amplified by the bitter Hojicha sauce but we felt that the cake did not hold as much Hojicha flavour as we had hoped. We did like the nice contrast in texture that the adzuki beans provided, though!

Overall, we were pretty pleased with our experience at Hvala and we would love to come back again and spend the day here, sipping on a Matcha Latte and perhaps enjoy a book while doing so.

Matcha-lovers have good reason to rejoice as one of Hokkaido’s most famous matcha cafes has graced Singapore’s sunny shores. 108 Matcha Saro, specialising in matcha (Japanese green tea) and hojicha (roasted green tea) drinks and desserts, has set up shop in Suntec City!

Japanese desserts are all the rage now – whether it’s mochi, soft-serve or fluffy pancakes. Once you see the myriad of tea-flavoured items on 108 Matcha Saro’s menu, you’ll be scratching your heads, torn on what to try first!

Check out what we thought about this brand new matcha cafe in Singapore!

We tried the Matcha Hokkaido Soft Serve (S$4.90) and we enjoyed it very much. The ice cream was creamy and had a distinct matcha flavour, enhanced by the luscious matcha syrup that you can request to add on top of your swirl (it’s free).

The cone was a crunchy wafer cone, similar in texture to the McDonalds’ ice cream cone. Our only gripe was that it did become a little soggy as we ate the soft-serve.

Next up, we tried one of their Hojicha Mini Parfaits (S$6.90). The dessert comes with a swirl of Hojicha soft-serve, a scoop of sweet red bean paste, chewy mochi balls and a generous drizzle of syrup.

This was our favourite item from 108 Matcha Saro as the hojicha flavour was pronounced and had a delightful roasted flavour. The toppings paired impeccably with the soft serve – especially the chewy mochi balls!

Lastly, we had a taste of their Hot Matcha Latte (S$4.90). We thought it was pretty affordable. Taste-wise, we felt it had a distinct matcha taste but also a bit of a smoky note to it.

Overall, we felt that the food and drinks at 108 Matcha Saro were high-quality and we enjoyed the strong taste of tea. However, the service staff leave a lot to be desired as they seemed very distracted and disorganised despite there not being anyone else in the queue; so much so that in spite of there not being a long line, we had to wait a fair bit of time to get our orders.

We think that 108 Matcha Saro has a lot of potential due to the affordable price point of their menu items and their high-quality ingredients, so we hope that their service can match up to the standard of their food.
