Bee Guan's orange peel with sour plum is a very refreshing drink. Mrupupup went to this stall named Bee Guan coffee stall at Whampoa Market # 01-23 two times to try out this drink. Mrupupup's verdict - best drink in Singapore on a hot day! The drink was very nice and pretty cheap at $1.50 with a large amounts of orange peel and came in two cups of cold water. Great value for money and fantastic on a hot day in Singapore! Oh, the uncle that sells the drink is quite a generous man. Just have a chat with him and he would tell you many stories of people ordering his orange peel drink. He would also top up your drink for free with more cold water if you need.

Mrupupup tried the Suckao chocolate drink at Max Brenner Chocolate Bar at Esplanade Mall Singapore (#01-08). First time tried the suckao drink which costs about $7. Well, this drink was special. It was like a chocolate drink but deconstructed by Max Brenner. The Suckao would be served with chocolate bits (dark type), milk, metal straw to suck and a pot to mix the milk and chocolate. The milk could be top 3 times. Add the chocolate bits to the hot milk, wait for the chocolate to melt. Once the chocolate melt in the hot milk, drink up! Enjoy the taste of your own chocolate drink. If you bored and could not wait, you could take a few chocolate bits and chew them to satisfy your chocolate cravings!
