This is the Honeydew Premium Soy Drink ($4.00.99) from Hòa Hưng Tofu. It featured a soy drink with honeydew flavour and toppings of popping water chestnut and white pearls.
The beverage had an opaque, very pale green hue with the toppings at the base. When sipped chilled, the honeydew flavor brought immediate refreshment, reminiscent of the fruit itself, and was complemented by a distinct molasses sweetness from brown sugar. The soy base contributed to a thick and creamy texture, remaining smooth despite the high level of soy solids. The popping water chestnut added an interesting but somewhat unwelcome texture, with a mushy paste-like consistency upon popping and befor reaching the crunch of the water chestnut itself. In contrast, the white pearls provided a thoroughly enjoyable bouncy texture. Overall, while we appreciated the creamy smoothness of the beverage, we wouldn’t choose it over the more immediately satisfying regular soy drink in 2 L bottles.
