Happy Lemon: Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese


(Don't look at me. Look behind me. See the wall advertisement to my left? Somewhere in that picture is Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese. Tried uploading pictures of the drink itself but all I have are empty glasses of it. Want me throw-up the drink for you to see it? :)))


Happy Lemon claims having "the world's yummiest drinks." Products range from Milk Teas with Oreo, Lemon Yakult, and even drinks with Rock Salt and Cheese! Being a relatively new drink shop in the Philippines, Happy Lemon provides refreshing and tasty drinks that would make you crave for more! Definitely meets my blog's theme of Hyper Crave Craze!

Overall Rating: [ 4.6 out of 5 ]

The Good: At first, Rock Salt and Cheese seems to be a lunatic's drink. I mean, who in his right mind would put Rock Salt in a chocolate drink? Good thing I was adventurous, if not, I may have missed one of the most wonderful drinks I have ever drank in my whole life. Does that make sense? T_t

Rock Salt + Cheese is an unlikely one-two punch combo that, combined with their equally delectable chocolate drink, would technically knock your taste buds inside out. The salty taste of Rock Salt and Cheese paired with the bittersweet taste of chocolate enhances the flavor of the drink twofold... or threefold or... I am weak with Math, so I won't bother with that. It tastes GREAT! Period. Nothing not awesome follows.

The Bad: The crew wouldn't refill my cup without me paying. Again. And I did not have spare money. Bummer. Now if the customers would just stop emptying their glasses and leave some for me... Oh! Cruel world. :(

Taste: [ 5 out of 5.] - The taste was totally epic. Swagger. The sh*t. Right here. No exaggerations. Refreshing, yet tasty. It gave me the same feeling as me walking down the stairs and missing a step. The taste caught me by surprise. The chocolate's flavor was enriched by the rock salt and cheese. Bittersweet combined with salty flavor is perfect harmony. If you do not get what I mean, just friggin' try it out for yourself.

Price/Affordability: [ 4 out of 5.] - Well, at 100 pesos, can't say it is affordable. But considering the epic taste, and that it really just costs as much as leading drink stores, it is well worth it. On my insane days, I would spend a hundred bucks for the drink, even though I might forfeit eating my lunch meal for it. Seriously. :))

Satiety: [ 5 out of 5.] - For me, a cup of Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese fills up my daily craving. Scientifically speaking, a single cup is of epic proportion, satisfying me convincingly. :)

Quality: [ 4 out of 5.] - Overall, the drink was refreshing and great. However, I find the blending of the drink and ice a little bit unsatisfactory. Maybe it's just me being meticulous, but really now, the drink lacks something to be perfect. The blending is a factor. :)

Satisfaction: [ 5 out of 5. ] - Refreshing, great tasting, justifiable price, and fulfilling. Basically, that is what I am looking for in a drink. I'd go for a second round any time. :))
