Gotcha Matcha: A Creamy Strawberry Surprise at the Pasar Malam

#summervacay There’s just something about wandering through a pasar malam — the sizzling skewers, fluffy ramly burgers, and the thumping bass from claw machines that never seem to give. But right next to all the usual suspects, we spotted a stall that’s been popping up at different night markets lately: Gotcha Matcha. They don’t have a permanent location, so catching them feels a bit like scoring a limited-edition treat. When we saw the crowd forming around their stall, we knew we had to try it. We went for their popular Strawberry Matcha — and honestly? Not bad at all. What makes it different is the layer of strawberry jam at the bottom, not syrup or milk. It adds a subtle sweetness and fruitiness without overpowering the matcha. The matcha itself is on the creamier side, with that signature earthiness mellowed out just enough for casual drinkers. You get a mix of flavors and textures — bitter, creamy, fruity, and smooth — in a drink that feels more like a dessert. It's definitely on the fun and indulgent side, but not cloying. So if you’re at a pasar malam and spot Gotcha Matcha, it’s worth checking out. Their drinks feel like something you’d usually only find in a specialty café, but here it is — nestled between usual pasar malam stalls. Unexpected? Yes. But that's kind of what makes it fun.
