Zen and tranquil Japanese tea house 🍵

Located at 111 Somerset right next to Somerset station is a Japanese cafe and tea house called Hvala. They sell all sorts of matcha and hojicha all brewed and blended differently either ice or warm. Hvala have came a long way since it was just a take away shop at 313@somerset. The Somerset outlet is super instagram worthy and zen like. The glass panels ample of sunlight to pass through. There is no most popular seat here but I think those on the steps are rather interesting. That area together with the counter area where you can watch the staff prepare your drinks feels like a “feature wall”. I ordered a Hojicha which is a form of roasted ice blend on a Monday and was glad that the cafe wasn’t as crowded as weekends. #moreinsg
