Fourteen is a lot of milkshakes, and the list is fruit-led rather than the usual chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Kiwi, Blueberry, Mix Berries and Pina Colada sit alongside the classics, and the second half of the list is the confectionery end: Oreo, KitKat, Snickers, Kinder, Twix and the Lotus milkshake. They are made with the same fruit that goes into the fruit salads and the juices, blended with ice cream, and they are thick enough that the straw stands up on its own.
Which one
Strawberry and Mix Berries are the two that go fastest. Kiwi is the one people order once out of curiosity and then keep ordering. Avocado is the one to try if you have never had avocado as something sweet; blended with milk and ice cream it is mild and creamy rather than savoury. Strawberry Banana and Mango is the fullest of the fruit shakes. On the sweet side, the Oreo and Kinder shakes are what the crepe and waffle tables order to match, and the Lotus milkshake is the caramelised-biscuit one. The Pina Colada is alcohol-free, like everything else here. The full list with prices is on the menu below.
Milkshake, fruit shake or smoothie
Three sections of the menu look similar on paper and taste nothing alike. A milkshake is fruit, milk and ice cream: dessert in a glass. A juice with milk is whole fruit blended with cold milk and no ice cream, softer and still drinkable, the drink most of the Middle East grew up on. A Smoothie Freeze is fruit and ice, the lightest of the three and the one to order if you want something cold and clean. All three use the same fresh fruit. So order the milkshake when you want dessert, the fruit shake when you want it creamy but not heavy, and the smoothie when you want it light. The smoothies and fruit shakes have their own page.
Less sweet
They are blended to order, so ask for less sugar and it goes in that way. The fruit shakes are naturally less sweet than the confectionery ones. Half-and-half combinations are sometimes possible; ask at the counter and we will say which ones work.
