Order at TANING and the three things staff mention most are these: sweetness and ice can be adjusted, butter egg waffles should be eaten while hot, and if you cannot decide, start with the Ya Shi Xiang lemon tea. Remember those three on a first visit and you will not go far wrong.
One: sweetness and ice are adjustable
Most lemon and fruit-and-vegetable teas can be tuned for sugar and ice. For a first cup, staff usually suggest 70% sugar with light ice: enough to taste the aroma without becoming too sweet or too weak, and a good base for your next adjustment. Do not be shy about asking — it is entirely normal, and after a few visits you will have your own fixed combination.
Two: butter egg waffles are best hot
Freshly baked butter egg waffles are crispest in the first few minutes out of the mould, so staff will tell you to eat them straight away; they soften as they cool. Sharing? Order one portion between two with a cup each — you get the snack without overfilling, which is exactly right for an afternoon break.
Three: if you cannot decide, order the signature
The safest picks on the menu are Ya Shi Xiang lemon tea and the fruit and vegetable teas. The first is aromatic and memorable, the second clean with a sweet finish. First-time visitors worry most about ordering wrong; going straight for the signature is the fastest route and the best introduction to what the brand tastes like.
A few ordering tips
Two people: one drink and one snack each. On your own: set sugar and ice to taste. In a hurry: read the menu before joining the queue and your cup comes sooner. Midday and early evening are peaks — visit outside them and the wait is shorter.
For anything else, ask in store
