Dáo
Dáo’s offerings often see a cheeky play on words—its classic Dáo Fu Fah can be served with ginger, brown, white, or chrysanthemum syrup and garnished with toppings such as red or black sesame paste, osmanthus jelly, and pumpkin glutinous rice balls.
Meanwhile, their Dáo Nai (soy milk) can be made with white or black soy beans; the latter has a surprising green tinge, but shouldn’t be mistaken for matcha.
