Milksha which focuses on natural, handmade, and unique milk beverages, has opened at Tampines 1.
Since it began in 2004, Milksha has been using 100% natural milk and natural ingredients in all its products.
Everything at Milksha is fresh and handmade from scratch in the store – – they do not include any preservatives, chemical additives, and artificial colourings.
Bestsellers include Fresh Taro Milk ($5.60), Earl Grey Tea Latte with Honey Pearls (4.80) made with Sri Lankan earl grey leaves, Refreshing Orange Green Tea ($4.20) made with freshly squeezed Taiwan oranges, Brown Sugar Milk ($4.60), Valrhona 100% Cocoa Milk ($4.80) and Azuki Matcha Milk ($5.60).
The Fresh Taro Milk is made with unique taro from Dajia (大甲), a coastal district in Taichung, Taiwan. These air-flown taro are steamed and hand-mashed daily before they are blended with fresh milk. Sip it pure or add toppings like honey pearls, grass jelly, pudding, or taro balls for extra texture.
Miss Japan? The sweet and earthy Azuki Matcha Milk will take you right to it, while featuring matcha powder imported from Izumo Tousuien (桃翠園), a 100-year-old tea brand. To preserve its quality, matcha is first chilled and vacuum-packed, then directly air-flown to Singapore.

Immerse Yourself In Experiential Retail And Japanese Food Takeaways
Little introduction needed for DON DON DONKI, the bright and bustling store full of interesting retail and food items, and that ear-worm signature tune.
This Japanese brand specialty store (known as Don Quijote in Japan) carries a wide range of lifestyle products and food from groceries, fresh produce, hard-to-find Japanese snacks, bento sets to seasonal specials.
More than a place to shop for essentials, this is where you go to spend time and shop as a leisure activity.
Gourmands will enjoy exploring aisles featuring produce, fish, meat, delicatessen, confectionery & packaged foods, and other Japanese delicacies.
You can even find seasonal fruits and veggies like peaches, melon, grapes, and apples imported from Japan. Premium quality meats direct from Japan are also available, as well as fatty and fresh salmon sushi.
If you are looking for a fuss-free takeaway meal, look out for the Tonkatsu. DON DON DONKI has collaborated with Anzu, a farm-to-table concept from Kyushu renowned for its authentic tonkatsu.
Try the Anzu Pork Loin & Tenderloin Bento ($16.80) and find out why fans rave about this breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet. Comes with rice, tamago, pickled ginger, and veggies.
For a savoury, good-for-sharing snack, get the Hokkaido Margarite Pizza ($15.90) laden with tomato sauce made from a Japanese recipe. Topping is minimal yet satisfying with Hokkaido white mozzarella cheese strewn all over.
Do check out their Brown Sugar Taiyaki ($3.90) a Japanese fish-shaped snack filled with brown sugar. Once fried, it becomes crispy on the outside and exudes a brown sugar aroma.
