White Mocha

Updated: Sep 23


Someone told me that she doesn't drink coffee. But if she chooses to drink, she would only drink white mocha. It sounds super intriguing to me. Everybody knows mocha, but a white mocha?



Of cos you can just add some good quality white chocolate chips into a serving cup and top it off with some coffee and frothed milk. But I wanna try something different. I tend to look at food or beverage and think of ways to improve it in terms of texture and flavors.


I know, sometimes I am a bit adventurous. But if a dish is perfect, I would very much rather keep its originality. Anyway, cheers!
