Nothing is better than a refreshing glass of fruit tea after a hearty meal. You no longer need to wait in line or walk under the sweltering heat for a cup. LiHO’s Refresher ($30.20) gives you two servings of Singapore Fruit Tea, two servings of Korea Fruit Tea, and two servings of Fresh Lemon Juice with White Pearl and Aiyu Jelly.
Filled with a variety of citrus fruits, this drink set is a great way to cool down with friends on a hot sweaty day. Also, check out the LiHO’s Avocado ($37.40) that gives you six avocado-based drinks which include the signature Cheese Avocado Smoothie.

Yes, you can now get squirt-in-your-mouth xiao long bao without leaving your couch. Known for their Steamed Shanghai Xiao Long Bao ($7.80 for three pieces), Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao is a must-try when you’re in the mood for some dim sum. The bao came securely packed, with none of them leaking out the precious pork juice. You will also get vinegar and ginger slices on the side, for the full XLB experience.

Xiao Man Niu Mala Hotpot lets you get your fix of everyone’s favourite tongue-numbing food in either soup or dry. Take your pick from 42 ingredients and even your own spice level.

There are some people who only eat cakes on birthdays, but for those who beg to differ, The White Ombre is a great option to satisfy their cake cravings. The Rainbow Cake ($7) tastes just as good as it looks. Cut in a thick wedge, the cake features rich Italian buttercream that is layered between a colourful and moist butter cake. Mad props to the drivers who carefully delivered it, as the cake came in pristine condition, with none of the buttercream smudged.

Nothing makes me happier on a warm day than a bowl of comforting traditional dessert at Ah Chew Desserts. You can now get desserts such as Mango Sago with Pomelo ($4.50) delivered straight to you. The mangoes are cut into huge chunks, mixing well with the pomelo pulps that had a slightly crunchy bite to it. My favourite bit was how everything comes nicely chilled, so that you can enjoy it the moment it arrives.

Taking away drinks from the coffee shop always results in slight spillage on our hands, so we were shooketh by how the drivers managed to deliver the juices from My Juice Kaki without spilling a single drop! Using only fresh fruits, enjoy cold-pressed blends that are specially formulated to give a boost to your diet.
The juices are only prepared to order, ensuring they’re enjoyed at optimum freshness. The Tropic Garden ($5,$6) is made from orange, mango, pineapple, and carrot, aiding in digestion and metabolism.

An Acai Affair prides themselves on using only undiluted acai with no added liquids or juice concentrate. This results in a higher acai content that makes for a more robust cup of the Brazilian superfood. Each cup of acai came nice and cold, showcasing how fast the drivers must have driven to get it to our office.
We like the Nutty Party ($8.90), which is filled with banana, granola, nuts and cacao nibs – giving a nice combination of textures. You can also choose to get your acai bowl drizzled with honey, cookie butter or peanut butter at no additional cost.
