Food Review: Nayuki (brought in by breadtalk)

[covertbriar]

Folks might be forgiven for becoming ridiculously besotted with those dainty, ornate euro-style bakes trotted out by Nayuki (奈雪の茶), an ultra popular cafeteria concept originally birthed in Shenzhen, China four years ago which has since grown to over 180 stores across 22 Chinese cities and recently even made inroads into Singapore under a joint venture with BreadTalk Group - it debuted at VivoCity on 8 December 2018; two other outlets subsequently commenced operations on 28 June and 12 July this year. Alongside them pillowy soft, adorably shaped breads granted license to both enthral and pleasure, Nayuki also concocts a suite of somewhat artsy-fartsy cheese tea blends served either warm or chilled.

Sampling and thoughts:

Admittedly we succumbed to the gorgeously fashioned buns in restful slumber beckoning from display cabinets during a random weekday afternoon browse at its 2 month old Funan Mall branch, hence us impulsively buying one of each there and then. Do note should you desire your purchases dismembered sliced, staff deployed onsite stand ever ready. Additionally dine-in customers are issued disposable gloves, thus they can nibble away wholeheartedly without fretting over greased digits.

Didn't know it was a JV with Breadtalk, but thanks for the info! Another addition to the boycott list.

A female employee outside the Nayuki shop at Funan once gave me a small cup of liquid to drink. It tasted very funny.

My family and I loved Nayuki's food. We'll be back for more.

LOL what did you suspect the drink was?

It tasted sourish, with a floral afternote. It was a red liquid.
