Tip: This place is on Fantuan.
My friend, who is also my co-worker, and I were having lunch last Wednesday. He told me about See You and raved about how much he loved the drinks here. I trust his recommendations and did a bit of research as we ate and talked.
I noticed that See You is on Fantuan (or should I say that I see you, See You, on Fantuan) and had half-priced drinks. Yes, please!
The green apple coconut latte caught my attention. It was such a cool combination that I had to try it.
This drink was regularly $8. I got it for $4 before taxes, which felt like I was running away with murder. I got it with my usual less ice. There was an option to make this drink hot. I'd rather have it iced.
The estimate was twenty minutes for my drink to be made. It was enough time for me to drive over here from my workplace.
My friend said that it was in a plaza with a T&T Supermarket. He steered me correctly over here. I'll need to visit this supermarket some other day. I was trying to get home before the hailstorm happened. I got caught in the middle of it.
See You is next to a malatang eatery. I'd love to go there sometime, too. There was lots of parking. I backed in to a spot near the entrance and walked in.
A friendly female greeted me. I let her know that I was picking up a Fantuan ordered and rattled off the last three digits of my order. My drink was on the counter and was ready. I thanked her, took a few photos of this aesthetically pleasing cafe, and headed to my car.
The photo on Fantuan showed this drink having coffee on top and green coconut beverage on the bottom. I didn't get the green part. It looked like white coconut beverage. It was a minor detail. However, what I saw on the menu versus what I got was a bit misleading.
I liked this drink a lot. As a fruit person, I was hoping that if you are leading with green apple in your drink's name that it's the prominent taste that you get. There were hints of green apple after I had stirred it. The coffee was much stronger, followed by the coconut beverage.
It was cold and yummy. I didn't mind the stronger coffee taste. Maybe it's because I've been drinking Vietnamese iced coffee more lately that it has prepared me for this drink.
I will probably fair better with a fruit-based drink, as that's my norm. I'll need to head back and get one.
This place also has yogurt bowls with fruit. I'd love to try one. It's $4 off a yogurt bowl on Fantuan. There's a yogurt- and coconut milk-based bowl. It looks large, so I may need to split it into two meals or bring a friend.
I'll be back!
