RUXU 入续

This drink begins with the bold foundation of aromatic YingDe black tea, blended with fresh milk to create a mellow, floral base. To elevate it, premium New Zealand cheese is whipped into a velvety foam using rich dairy cream. The foam crowns the tea with a savoury fragrance and smooth, layered texture that unfolds sip by sip.

Handmade mochi adds another dimension: crafted from high-quality white glutinous rice sourced from Bama, Guangxi, and kneaded with milk to achieve a soft, stretchy consistency. Its gentle milky sweetness pairs seamlessly with the tea, offering a delightful chew that contrasts the creaminess above.

It is a harmony of flavours, combining savoury cheese, silky cream, tender mochi, and the honeyed notes of YingDe black tea. The finish is refreshing with a lingering aroma. Sugar and ice levels can be customised, making each cup uniquely yours.

RUXU 入续 has been an establishment that we had been paying quite a fair bit of attention ever since noticing the hoardings put up during its renovation phase at Funan. These folks can be found at the ground level of Funan; RUXU takes over the former premises of the now-defunct outlet of Torori Tenshi no Warabi-mochi — quite a prominent spot that can be found towards the end of the cycling path at the entrance / exit of the mall towards The Treasury. RUXU is a brand that hails from mainland China, with the brand itself being established in China in the year of 2023. RUXU has done quite a fair bit of work to the space; the space is actually themed the same way and even uses some of the same furniture and fittings that can be found in their mainland China locations — there is definitely a vibe that throws one back to China a couple of centuries ago with its old-school, oriental-style decor, though there is still a slightly more urbanised touch with the use of geometry and wooden furniture and fittings amidst plants that also gives it a rustic touch. There are use of cushioned booth seats that offers patrons more comfort, though these are generally used for tables accommodating groups of up to four (4) pax; there are also quite a number of tables in RUXU that accommodates to those visiting the establishment in pairs. RUXU is a store the specialises in serving up Cantonese-style Tang Shui and breads — breads and pastries available for the day are displayed prominently in the display case at the front before the dine-in area. Otherwise, the menu is split into categories such as Signature, Yuen Yeung Milk Tea, Tong Sui, Ice-Cream, Fruit Shaved Milk Ice, Seasonal Rollout, Bakery, Extra Toppings, Intangible Cultural Double-Layer Milk Custard.

There really is quite a number of Cantonese-style Tang Shui that RUXU offers on its menu — other items that had gotten our attention includes the availability of the Intense Pistachio Paste, but what seems to have gotten to us was actually their line-up of Intangible Cultural Double-Layer Milk Custard. With quite a large variety of items to choose from, we found ourselves going for the Durian & Taro Double-Layer Milk Custard. RUXU describes the Durian & Taro Double-Layer Milk Custard
to come with elements such as fresh milk, fresh egg whites, Thai Golden Pillow Durian, Guangxi Lipu Taro, and Osmanthus. It is worth noting that the Durian & Taro Double-Layer Milk Custard is available in both cold or hot variants — we opted for the cold variant since we aren’t too much of a fan of durian served hot / warm. Considering how the Double-Layer Milk Custard was served chilled, the milk custard layer does come a little stiffer over the top, though the insides do seem sufficiently soft and a little runny in some parts. The mix of fresh milk and fresh egg whites did result in a slight eggy and milky note that isn’t particularly sweet, while we were surprised that the Guangxi Lipu Taro that comes in the form of a taro paste does come with a bit of oil to smoothen things out, achieving a consistency where it is not too stiff and dense at the same time. The Thai Golden Pillow Durian flesh comes in mousse format where one could also feel the fibrous flesh of the fruit; the durian does come with its usual pungent notes though we liked how things weren’t overly strong to overpower the entire dessert here.

During the same visit to RUXU, we had also decided to give their Red Bean Mochi & Soy Milk Lava Bun from that is displayed prominently in the display cases at the front of the shop a go. RUXU describes the Red Bean Mochi & Soy Milk Lava Bun to come with element such as flour, milk, fine sugar, red beans, soybean flour, fresh cream, salt and homemade mochi. Taking a bit into the bread, the bun is soft and fluffy whilst seemingly being dusted in soy powder — the entire combination here based on the elements included in the bread and the flavours going on does seem to somehow remind us of Injeolmi Bingsu. The soybean flour provides a nutty flavour to the bun itself; the bun revealing the fillings of soy milk, red bean and mochi within. The red beans does give a soft bite and an earthy note without going too sweet, while the handmade mochi on the side gives a chewy bite that was easy to break off without sticking to the teeth — whilst the soy milk cream did not burst out of the bun as what one would expect out of a lava bun; that being said, the soy milk cream does still add on a creamy, bean-y note to compliment all of the other elements.

We also managed to give the Butter Rice Cake a go; RUXU describes the item to feature elements such as glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch, milk, cream, butter and eggs. This does seem to be spiritually similar to an offering that is sold by Bao’s Pastry 鲍师傅 — whilst we hadn’t given the ones at Bao’s Pastry a go, we aren’t quite impressed with the Butter Rice Cake being just a pastry with a baked, crusty exterior with chewy mochi within that doesn’t carry much flavour on its own; the texture of the mochi also felt slightly more stiff / hardened as compared to the one found in the Red Bean Mochi & Soy Milk Lava Bun. Opting for a beverage to go with everything else that we have had, the Cheese Foam & Milk YingDe Black Tea was actually a pretty impressive tea offering considering how RUXU is an establishment that seems to be more noted for its Cantonese-style Tang Shui and breads. There is definitely a sweet back note and floral note amidst the strong aroma of tea here — this is despite us opting for the variant that came with No Sugar, while the Cheese Foam is one that is smoother without feeling too heavy nor dense in both flavours and textures; pretty much suits the tea very well.

There has been quite a number of independently-operated stores specialising in Cantonese-style Tang Shui that had sprouted up all across the island in recent times — this would include the likes of places such as that of Yuen Yeung 鴛鴦, Yut Yun Tong Sui 月圆堂, Yun Ji 芸記, Meeting You 糖水铺 and SweetDots.. 甜心点点 — amongst many others. What seems to be pretty clear for us about RUXU is how it does seem to be one of the first for such places that is run by a brand from mainland China to have opened its doors here. We did feel that the quality of the food at RUXU does exceed that of most other stores serving up the same — the offering of bakery items also helps to diversify its variety of dishes and attracts those whom are looking for a small bite as well. Prices of their desserts in the form of Cantonese-style Tang Shui and Fruit Shaved Milk Ice is within the range of $4 to $13.80; a price in which that comes across to us as pretty reasonable and market-competitive to say the least — the bakery items in the meanwhile are also priced rather reasonably from $1.60 to $5.60 (inclusive of half loaves of bread). A spot that is worth dropping by for those whom are into both Cantonese-style Tang Shui and freshly-baked bread and pastries to see what they are all about.
