Reward 500 Tiger-coinsBubble tea is an irreplaceable "life-saver" in Singapore.
Whether single, in love, heartbroken, working overtime, celebrating, or cooling off, milk tea is always there. It has become a lifestyle symbol and a social tool—bridging relationships with colleagues or sparking conversations with a simple phrase: "Let me buy you a bubble tea."
On average, Singaporeans consume about 150 cups of bubble tea per year—almost a cup every 2-3 days! Missing out for a couple of days? That’s unbearable!
Remember during the early pandemic days when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced a lockdown starting at 11:59 PM? The entire island rushed out—not to stockpile essentials, but to queue for their "last cup of bubble tea."
Among Southeast Asian countries, Singapore leads with an average annual bubble tea spending of $60 USD (about 78 SGD or 428 RMB), a staggering six times higher than Malaysia, the runner-up!
With brands like KOI, LIHO, TWG, Holim, HEYTEA, Tiger Sugar, Luckin, and Mixue, the choice is endless. Which one is your favorite?

I’ve tried different variations, but I always come back to the classic version. It’s familiar and soothing. Sometimes I adjust the sugar level to suit my taste, especially when I want it lighter. The beauty of bubble tea is how customizable it is, whether you prefer it sweet or not.
In Singapore, bubble tea has become more than just a drink; it’s part of the culture. It’s a great way to connect with others too, whether you’re sharing a cup or saying, "Let me buy you a bubble tea." It’s about enjoying the moment.

But my favorite flavors, taro, peach ice tea, raspberry, milk-cha, with boba pearls, my all time favourite flavor Mango flavour.
I just was addicted towards the taste, but too expensive to buy.
Hence I just got to 2 days a week from daily spending NZ$ 9.
Now that I have spent a lot past 3 years.
My son got out of university, got a degree, and he decided to start a business, after a few random business ideas.
Guess what happened next ???
He ended up getting a franchise for opening a bubble tea store.
Due to open soon, work in progress. Have a lot of hurdles to cross. But finally it's happening..
Mid-January hopefully it's done .
Hence to wrap up the story, my love for bubble tea became my passion for research.
And here I am having my own bubble tea shop, no more spending money.
!! Just Free !! Everyday !!
When being asked why i dont drink, my reply was I want a healthier health. Personally I am the type who don't like following trend, would tend to go opposite direction.
Nevertheless, I prefer R&B brown sugar if I really craving for it. [Cool]
