Being a tea addict, I am always seen sipping from a plastic
bag of Teh Tarik ikat tepi from
Malaysian kopitiam, or a large cup of Chatime/Tealive. I was almost running out
of options. But, recently I discovered a new place to fix my tea cravings! If
you are a big fan of our neighbouring country’s tea, this is just the place for
you.
Mon Chaang Thai Tea by Chapayom is a new franchise in Malaysia, where their first outlet is in Menara Citibank. Widely known as Chapayom in other countries, Mon Chaang opened their second outlet in Aeon Sunway Pyramid (LG-2).
Mon Chaang’s menu is simple and revolves around their core
ingredients which are Green tea, Rose tea, and of course, Thai red tea, also
known as Cha Yen (ชาเย็น). I like
how they solely focus on the tea leaves for their signature drink collection
rather than having a complicated or sophisticated concoction on their menu.
It allows patrons to appreciate the authenticity and simplicity of tea alone.

Aside from the three main tea leaves, they also have Thai cocoa,
Thai coffee, as well as Cham (mixture of Tea & Coffee). From the menu, you
may observe three different varieties- milk tea series, lime series, and
coffee/cocoa series.
I am really impressed with the display of the ingredients used in
making the tea. Three mason jars sat in a row, where each containing authentic
tea leaves (Green Tea leaves, Rose Tea leaves, Red Tea leaves) from Thailand. You
may see two cans of milk- local condensed milk and evaporated milk, located
next to the jars of tea leaves. There was also a bowl of limes! I am very happy
and fascinated with their transparency with their ingredients.
The freshly prepared tea
Apart from Thai tea, Mon Chaang also sells a variety of Thai
keropok and Thai Soft Serve ice-cream. The ice cream comes in two flavours- Chocolate and Green
tea.
The Menu
Comes in hot & cold (blended/cold)
Each selection comes in three options which are hot, cold, and
blended. The beverages are priced reasonably and totally worth it as you will
be getting an authentic serving. You can also pair your drinks with a Thai
snack of your choice!
I have selected a few drinks from their menu, which are Thai Milk
Red Tea, Thai Milk Rose Tea, Thai Lime Green Tea, Thai Milk Tea & Coffee (Cham),
and Thai Cocoa.
Here is the verdict:
It has a familiar taste of Teh
Tarik but it has a thicker consistency and it is more milky. In fact, they
actually Tarik the tea prior to
serving. It is the sweetest among the rest and thus, it is perfect for sweet
tooth.
Thai Milk
Rose Tea
My favourite pick! It has a very strong floral and aromatic scent.
It also has a familiar taste of bandung, but
the rose tea leaves a very pleasant floral aftertaste which perfumes your
mouth. The strong rose flavour cuts through the taste of the milk tea. It is a
very relaxing and therapeutic drink and I can imagine myself sipping in a spa
in Thailand.
Thai Lime
Green Tea
The most refreshing drink on the list above! Wakes you up
immediately after one sip. Probably because lime and green tea are both very
invigorating to our palates. I love the combination of green tea with a hint of
zesty citrus lime. Perfect drink for hot days!
Thai Milk
Tea & Coffee (Cham)
It has the perfect balance of coffee and tea! Being caffeine
sensitive, I really cannot tell that there was a portion of coffee in this
drink because it was blended so well. The aftertaste has a slight acidic taste
of coffee. This is the Thai style of yinyeong,
suitable for those who cannot decide between coffee and tea.
Thai Cocoa
Chocolate lovers rejoice! This is a must-try comfort drink. The
sweetness level is fine and there is a good balance between sweet and bitter.
It also has a very thick consistency! This is not even the blended version, and
yet it is already so thick! Loving the generous amount of cocoa they put in
this drink!
