sunday drink tour
last sunday, i went on a drink tour with my friend arvin, my girlfriend audrey, and my dog, lily. we started off our day with a visit to namaste in park slope, where we indulged in some delicious lassi. although this wasn't my first time trying lassi, i have been craving it lately, especially with the warmer weather.
after our refreshing drink, we took the q train to manhattan. it was lily's first time on the train, and she managed i guess. our first stop was kopitiam, where we got to try bek-kopi, a special type of white coffee with condensed milk. the coffee wasn’t sweet which i liked but the condensed milk really hit the spot. also the coffee in the bag was weird but was kinda nice because you could hold it by the string or holes without actually warming the drink up or having the drink sweat all over your hands. probably easier for them to ship that as well but i digress.
as we continued our journey, we were all getting kinda hungry and audrey needed something gluten-free to eat, so we made a quick stop at fong on for their sweet tofu pudding. the pudding was light and there was almost no taste until we realized the sugar syrup was very much needed haha. i thought it was pretty good not sure i would reach for it over other food in chinatown. but if you like tofu its for sure a must try.
our final stop was sugarcane daddy, where we got to enjoy freshly squeezed sugarcane juice. the juice was sweet and refreshing, and a perfect ending to our drink tour.
here are some pictures from our adventure:
