After three years in the Klang Valley, Taiwan-born tea purveyor Dont Yell At Me has become a familiar destination for fans of bubble tea and other playful beverages.
But there's more than boba to this brand: From croffles crowned with creamy toppings to ramen sets for spicy, satisfying meals, Dont Yell At Me has everything we need for fuss-free lunches and fun teatimes.
With stores in 163 Retail Park, Mid Valley Megamall, Sunway Pyramid, Pearl Point Shopping Mall, Courtyard Subang SS15 and KL East Mall, Dont Yell At Me is a convenient stop for shoppers across KL and Selangor.
We visited its Mont Kiara branch in 163 Retail Park for a peek at its pleasures, which harness low GI sugar for a less guilty indulgence.
Fun fact: Dont Yell At Me is currently getting all its stores halal-certified - its outlets in Sunway Pyramid and KL East Mall are already halal-certified, with the others to follow soon!
Charming from the outside, stylishly cool inside, the 163 Retail Park outpost is a pleasant place to pop by for a takeout or linger for lunch.
The ideal introduction here is a refreshing thirst-quencher like the Wintermelon Chrysanthemum (RM8.90), a bestseller that's floral with lightly fruity notes, best enhanced with Sweet Potato & Taro Balls (RM3.80) that provide a sweet-earthy munch.
For a classic combo of coffee and chocolate, try the Tiramisu Milk Tea (RM12.90), made mellow with the milk tea for smooth, soothing sips.
The Matcha Latte with Sweet Potato & Taro Balls (RM14.90) relies on Niko Neko Matcha for a clean, consistent balance of bitter and milky; the sweet potato and taro balls work brilliantly in this beverage, the perfect petite size for a charming chew.
The Peach Mint Honey Oolong Tea (RM9.90) with Bursting Boba (RM2.80) feels like a breezy beach holiday, brightened by boba that pops easily and efficiently.
The Sakura Lychee (RM13.90) with Kantan Jelly (RM2.80) conveys the juicy ripeness of lychee in a sparkling form, complete with lower-calorie kantan jelly for the health-conscious.
Pair your drink with a croffle - savoury choices include the popular Pesto Pepperoni with house-made pesto sauce (RM13.90) and Cheesy Arabiatta, almost like a pizza on a croffle, bolstered by a subtly spicy tomato base (RM13.90).
Other sweet croffle temptations include the Caramel Biscoff for Lotus lovers (RM11.90), Choco Buzzer (RM11.90; studded with marshmallows for the young at heart) and Cream Oreo (RM11.90; rounded out with real cookie chunks).
The Noodles Combo Set (RM18.90) comes with ramen and a drink, for days when we need fast, warm sustenance.
The flavourful selection comprises Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen, Samyang Jjajang Ramen, Kyushu Black Ramen or Samyang Carbonara Ramen, with your choice of four toppings, such as fish roe balls, lobster balls, cheese tofu, onsen egg or sliced cheese.
