Gong Cha Renfrew recently added more food and drinks to their menu, including street-style snacks, fruit smoothies and Dubai Chocolate desserts.
New are the menu are Orange Juice Smoothies. The Fresh Orange Juice Smoothie with Mango Puree was bright and citrusy, with a good amount of mango flavour. The Fresh Orange Juice Smoothie with Real Passionfruit Syrup had more tartness and a tropical finish.
The Fresh Avocado Smoothie was thick, creamy and mellow, with a light sweetness that let the avocado come through.
There are several snacks served hot on the new menu too. The Beef Sausage and Cheese Pastry had a soft, savoury centre and a lightly crisp exterior.
The Coin Waffle with Cheese Filling was crisp on the outside with hot, stretchy cheese inside. This one was fun to pull apart.
We tried the Corndog as well, which had a golden coating and that familiar mix of sweet and savoury flavours.
For dessert, the Dubai Matcha and Chocolate Ice Cream brought together earthy matcha, chocolate and creamy ice cream. The matcha helped cut through some of the sweetness.
We had the Dubai Ice Cream Waffle too which was served warm with cold ice cream on top, with lightly crisp edges and a softer centre.
There is now quite a bit to eat at Gong Cha Renfrew along with the usual bubble tea drink. You could stop in for a smoothie and snack, or order a few things to share.
