ASip Drinks: Cheap And Pretty Cold-Pressed Fruit Juices From $2 At Commonwealth

That said, ASip Drinks , located at Commonwealth Crescent Market & Food Centre , does just that. You can get your cold-pressed juice fix here from only $2 , as compared to the $10 you’ll cough up at cafes or supermarkets. Besides their prices, the designs of the juices are similarly attractive.

Layers of juice float atop one another, resulting in multi-tiered technicolour creations that boost both your immune system and IG game. All of which begs the question: What exactly is cold-pressed juice?

That translates to higher vitamin and enzyme content, as well as richer colours. Cold-press juicers don’t come cheap, with the four in Wong’s stall costing around $1000 each, explaining why these juices are often so dear.

Additionally, they take twice the time to juice your fruit and veg, though that seems like a minor drawback for all the nutritional benefits. There are around 20 recommended juices on their menu, with some boasting unique elements such as rocket and fresh mint. Wong incorporates Western knowledge of sugars and vitamins to craft her blends and create those multi-toned layers.

Her passion is evident, as she extols the virtues of drinking freshly made cold-pressed juice rather than grabbing one off the shelf. She goes on to tell us that juice should be something shoppers have fun drinking, as such she gives cheeky nicknames for her creations, like “air-con” for the uber-refreshing Apple, Mint and Lime ($2.50) .

In the midst of searing heat that day, it was a brilliant way to cool off. Juices start from $2— comparable to regular hawker juice stalls including basic two-toned creations such as Orange and Apple . Their most popular blend is the stunningly vibrant ABC Yakult ($3.30) , where Yakult provides light tang and subtle richness to supplement the apple, beetroot and carrot juices.

While sipping on your gorgeous juices, check out the neighbouring Hammee’s for delicious handcrafted burgers that don’t cost a bomb. We love their Signature Beef Cheeseburger ($6 for single, $8 for double) , which stars a juicy handmade patty that wouldn’t be out of place in a restaurant.
