Matcha of the Day: Franco's green tea latte float

Another from Kuala Lumpur. I'm guessing this chain is local (? I've never seen it in London or Singapore, for example - it has almost zero web presence) and it apparently serves French/Japanese fusion food and drinks. So you'd expect the green tea to be fairly good, right? And this iced matcha latte, with a green tea soft-serve float is quite presentable. It's not 100% on point, but if you're not near a real Japanese matcha outlet, it a perfectly decent choice. 

The Review  
The flavour has some matcha bitterness, although it's not tremendously creamy. The soft-serve is ever so slightly grainy, but the best aspect is that there is a generous portion of it. AND there aren't too many giant rocks of ice watering down the drink, as in some other matcha offers in the region. So over a few minutes, the melting ice-cream does contribute to a fairly rich and flavoursome experience. It's good enough that I have had it twice so far (in the absence of a Tsujiri etc, obviously). 

Price-wise, it's reasonable. This is pretty much a whole dessert, and you get a satisfying quantity for your bucks. Have sat quite happily for an hour or so, jotting notes and things, with one of these drinks slowly steeping on the table. (There is aircon in Franco, obviously!)

FYI I also tried Franco's plain matcha latte (without float) and it was extremely mediocre / a bit watery, and far too sweet. Perhaps consistency is not their thing? Either way, go for the ice-cream option!
