The F&B industry has always been like fashion, changing with the times. Everyone wants to be different, and I mean from 5* restaurants down to the humble coffee stall. Just recently, I have been introduced to a drink that brings taste to a whole new level.
It is called 'Sam-sik-cha' aka 3-colour tea. It comes with a layer each of tea, milk and palm sugar, thus the name 3-colour (brown, white, black). My first encounter with this drink is in a small market coffee stall in Kuantan, at 3am in the morning. Crazy, but what the hell, it's Malaysia, where eating and drinking is 24/7. It actually tastes like cendol, probably because of the sweet palm sugar.
You can also opt to replace the tea with coffee, which tastes wonderful too.
Of course, you do not need to be up at 3am to drink this. It is sold in most coffee shops, and some cafes. If you come across this drink, give it a try. You could even try it yourself at home. Easy-breezy..
