Japanese teahouse cum dessert parlour Hvala (meaning "thank you" in Croatian) is a jarring oxymoron - the preeminent motivation behind that rather sui generis, though incongruous name being founders Benmin Chai and Lynette Yong particularly yearned to reify their propinquitous affection for, gee, Croatia after previously holidaying there together. Hey, whatever floats their boat.

Kicked off in 2015 as yet another inchoate fad du jour dabbling with eggette parfaits (then called Hvala Waffle Bar) at 313@Somerset, this once verging on puerile crapshoot unwontedly grew a noodle midway, canned its erstwhile fandangled roster of entremets offered and reconvened almost from ground zero. Hence today's お茶-centric, multiple-store Hvala which appears having gotten into the groove, sizeable loyal following procured en attendant further playing testament.

Word to the wise - Hvala fanatically swears by automation; save for an actual human bringing food to your very table, everything else strictly equals DIY, so expect QR code menus, self-ordering terminals among other contrivances upon stepping through. Separately, do be mindful of a 60-minute time limit imposed during peak dining hours.

Holy crap, this reviewer's standard of english really blew me away. Is it written by a local? Sinkies hardly write that well
 
In the ChatGPT subreddit, students routinely seek advice about allegations that they've used AI in their work. Such was the case for a high school student falsely accused by their history teacher of using ChatGPT. The teacher would not disclose what tool was used and, according to the student, felt justified in making the claim because the detector had helped them catch other AI-written text from other students who admitted to using ChatGPT.

"The drinks at Hvala are definitely value for money despite being similar in price to many of its competitors, as the portions are generous and can even be shared by two people.

The Shiro Matcha Latte, which is made of naturally sun-dried white tea leaves instead of steamed green tea leaves, is an acquired taste. While fragrant, the strong floral notes are more reminiscent of Chinese teas rather than other matcha drinks.

The Ice Blended Matcha was rich and creamy, and had a more standard matcha flavour than the Shiro Matcha Latte."
