Bubble Tea 🥤

Super Dream is a new take on the bubble tea craze. Instead of using regular ol' milk tea and pearls, Super Dream reinvents the wheel with yoghurt and purple rice.

This might sound like a weird combination, but once you take a gulp of the drink you'll understand what I mean by great. I got Vanilla Yoghurt with purple rice and the drink was refreshing and soft like a smoothie. The tanginess of yoghurt together with the chewy texture (akin to mochi) of purple rice was divine. My only small gripe would be that the drink cost a pretty penny of $3.90 but that won't stop me from getting my new favourite drink!

Note: This Super Dream is from their toa payoh outlet but I've been told it is moving to Chinatown. They also have a Bugis outlet so do go there if you want to give it a try!

Since time immemorial people have fought; World War 1, World War 2, North Korea vs South Korea... some have concluded while others rage on till this very day. But there is one conflict that has stood the test of time, KOI vs Gong Cha.

Like many people out there in Singapore I take my bubble tea seriously and have been a die hard fan of Gong Cha since day 1. You could imagine the heartbreak when Gong Cha left the market some time last year. There was a milk tea void which couldn't be filled in me and though I occasionally dabbled in other franchises like Koi and LiHo, it just wasn't the same.

But Gong Cha is back in SG again and they are better than ever. Although the prices have increased for most drinks (20 cent increase minimum) it's still quite affordable where a normal medium milk tea costs about $2.80 where it previously was $2.60. My personal favourite is the Oolong Milk Tea at 30% sugar because it doesn't taste overly milky while still having some sweetness too it without it being overwhelming!
