Chatime has just partnered up with IRVINS to sell their signature salted egg snacks in Canada. As part of this collaboration, they made the world’s first ever salted egg smoothie. The Golden Lava Smoothie is a black sesame smoothie with swirls of salted egg cream. For extra creaminess the drink also has Chatime’s signature sea salt crema. I am a huge fan of salted egg yolk, so when this drink came out, I drove out right away to order it. For some extra indulgence, add brown sugar pearls, the extra sweetness is perfect for this drink. The Chatime Golden Lava Smoothie is definitely worth trying!
The black sesame taste is not too prominent. The salted egg yolk swirls definitely come through strongly. There is a very strong salted egg yolk flavour without being overwhelming. The brown sugar boba balances out the slight saltiness of the egg yolk. It’s a very unique drink that tastes good! However, if you are not a fan of salted egg yolk, I would pass on this as the dominant flavour is the egg yolk.
Since there doesn’t seem to be travel allowed anytime in the near future, this is your opportunity to try IRVIN’s famous snacks. Here is the current offerings at Chatime:
- Salted egg potato chips ($15 CAD)
- Hot boom potato chips ($15 CAD)
- Salted egg cassava chips ($15 CAD)
- Hot boom cassava chips ($15 CAD)
- Salted egg crunchy roll ($16.50 CAD)
- Salted egg salmon fish skin chips ($16.50 CAD)
While these prices seem high, it’s worth the splurge to try at least once. Also, if I remember correctly when I purchased these in Singapore the pricing was similar!
