BRIAN'S 100 Best '14

100 BEST ’14: PURPLE RAIN at INDESSERT

SADLY, INDESSERT IS NOW CLOSED.

Purple Rain at INDESSERT

Sort of like a hybird of bubble tea and rice pudding, the Purple Rain is something brand new. Focusing on classic Chinese flavors and sweet soups, InDessert is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. This drink doesn’t go over the top with that sweetness, but instead concentrates on texture. The blended drinks has a creamy sweetness from a coconut milk base, but each sip reveals black sticky rice or soft. chewy sago. I dare you to take just one sip. Price: $4.75
