Mornings are not complete without a good cup of coffee. During busy days and field work, I simply go to the coffee shop for breakfast and coffee. But oftentimes, I make coffee at home and I like it foamy, milky and still has the strong flavor of coffee. I'm glad that OATSIDE, an oat milk brand that has been popular in neighboring countries such as Singapore, has finally arrived in the Philippines.
Successfully launched at PapaKape in Fort Santiago in a Filipino Fiesta style. The event was hosted by Sam YG and Erwan Heussaff in Philippine’s first-ever milk tasting experience. In partnership with the Moment Group, guests were able to taste Adobo Mousse on a Fried Oat Milk Bar along with other local delicacies that incorporate OATSIDE, showcasing its versatility beyond coffee and drinks. Guests were treated to Oat-Crusted Cheese-Stuffed Arancini on Cauli-Oat Milk Puree, Chocolate Oat Milk Coffee Jelly Shooters and South Cotabato Crumbs with Oatmilk Latte Dip. For dessert, guests had the opportunity to try halo-halo, taho and ice cream - all with an OATSIDE twist.

Singaporean Founder and CEO Benedict Lim began OATSIDE when he saw a gap in the market for a plant-based milk that offers a creamy and malty taste profile that is familiar to people who don’t typically drink plant milks.
“We know that taste is often a barrier for more people adopting sustainable milks, so our goal was to develop an oat milk that could overcome these perceptions. It was a challenge developing the right product with existing setups at contract manufacturers in the early days, so we took the longer approach of building our own production line that allowed us more customization and control over the oat extraction process,” says Benedict.

OATSIDE is one of Asia’s few “full-stack” plant milk start-ups. The brand has retained full jurisdiction over their entire production process, from sourcing its Australian oats, to oat extraction to filling. This allows customization in the production process of our delicious oat milk, and the ability to ensure that only sustainably-sourced ingredients of the highest-quality are used. OATSIDE is plant-based, lactose-free, cholesterol-free and low in saturated fats.
Sustainability has been core to the mission of driving plant-based milks globally – production of oat milk requires 90% less land and water and produces 70% less emissions as compared to the production of cow’s milk, which makes it much more sustainable.

OATSIDE Barista Blend’s creaminess gives body to coffees and teas, but is neutral enough to allow the coffee and tea notes to shine through. OATSIDE Barista Blend also creates beautiful microfoam when steamed for latte art, making it a favorite among baristas. OATSIDE Chocolate is a dark, rich chocolate oat drink made with a Rainforest Alliance-certified Indonesian-African cocoa blend, no added flavors, and with less sugar than most chocolate milks.
