KOI Thé Cao Thắng — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

I can't sleep because I drank venti sized Caramel Macchiato Starbucks at 5 PM alone! So here I am digging my laptop to find something to post on blog.

Yes, I'm a green-tea freak, super freak :) LOL. And for the past few months I kinda get crazy with their Green Tea Macchiato, since KOI Cafe (finally) opened their first branch in Indonesia in Emporium Pluit Mall, which is sooooooo close to my house but the freakin' traffic made it so long to get there. Jakarta oh Jakarta :(

KOI Cafe is from our neighbor, Singapore. In here there are only 2 size of drink, small and medium, but in Singapore there are 3 size, they have large size. The large size cost around 4 SGD. Their bottle size are just like Starbucks size, their large is just like Sbucks's venti, the medium is just like Sbucks's grande. In Indonesia, the small size cost around IDR 15k++ and the medium size cost IDR 20k++. The menu also different between Indo and SG, I think SG got more kinds of drinks.

There are only 2 KOI Cafe in Jakarta and both of them are in North Jakarta and both of them are kinda close -__- It's like only 3-5 Km distances between them, LOL. Yes, both of them are crowded especially on weekend.

The one in Emporium Pluit Mall are bigger than the other one, got more space to sit, but still it's hard to find a place to sit and enjoy our drinks on weekend and sometime on weekdays too.

Once again I tried Koi as my first experience with Koi at Phan Xich Long location was not great from the drink itself to service and atmosphere. This location is bigger and we came during lunch time so not as busy. Plenty of seats and tables. However, the milk tea once again did not win me over. I ordered Hazelnut milk tea with pearls. Pearls were too chewy for my liking and the not much hazelnut flavour for my milk tea. Price again is much higher than other local brands and international brands. Sorry to say I won’t try Koi...
