The legendary drink you have to order when you arrive in Chiayi - Grapefruit Green!
To be honest, I was shocked when I saw the price 😨,
a medium size costs $65.
You can get a large, well-filled and delicious drink at an ordinary chain beverage shop for that price!
But since I was already there, I braved the queue and bought it anyway.
After taking a sip: Worth it 👍
$65 is indeed a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it 🥹
(I can’t quite give it a 4.5, it’s closer to a 4.8, so I'll still give it 5🌟)
This drink is definitely worth the wait in line.
It has instantly jumped to my number one favorite Grapefruit Green!
Yuanxing has two stores nearby, and I have visited both.
But for some reason, the second store on Zhongzheng Road didn't have a sign for the "discount for eco cups," so in the end, I chose to play it safe 🏃♀️ and walked back to the main store at the roundabout, where the "eco cup discount" was displayed.
There were quite a few people in line, but the ordering speed was pretty fast.
The phone for reservations was ringing non-stop 📞, and the small space had six staff members, none of whom were idle.
I was initially very worried: "With so many people, the staff won't have bad tempers, right?"
After all, many famous store employees who have worked too long can be quite arrogant and often get into arguments.
But the moment the staff spoke, my heart melted 🫠
They were super polite 👍. I know they were busy, but they didn't leave anyone hanging; they apologized, worked a bit, apologized again, worked a bit more, and then focused on taking orders after that.
The orders were indeed quite numerous; after ordering, I waited quite a while before receiving mine.
But it’s not hard to understand, I saw many people ordering 3 cups or 5 cups, so the staff has to make a lot of cups at once 🫠
But after taking a sip, I completely understood; I will definitely order it again next time 🥹
