Bubble Tea

Student price is only $2 a cup with pearl. Cheap and good!! At Bendemeer mall, there’s itea, tea talk and bober tea. They are the cheapest for student price.

I tried bober tea because of the burpple one-for-one deal.
I must say I quite like it and I have been going back.

But a few areas for improvement.
1) Consistency with sugar level- it is an issue. Sometimes 30% sugar is not even sweet- tasteless at best. Just go for 50%. If you are v particular about not taking too much sugar, to combat the inconsistency, poke and drink on the spot. If it is tasteless, I will request the staff to add a bit more sugar. There was once I bought two medium cups. Both my mom and I requested for a top up of sugar when 30% was tasteless. When the drinks came back, hers was much sweeter than mine.
2) Their bubble tea WITHOUT ice is NOT cold (=not nice). I like my bubble tea cold, but without ice. I usually go for large-sized cups, and it usually takes me a while to finish my tea. So I will order without ice to avoid diluted tea.
3) Today I bought two cups of milk tea and I spilled one cup. Then I realised the two cups of tea were not sealed. My fridge has pearls and bubble tea all over 😨. But to be fair, this is the first time it happened. So it could just be an oversight.

Shopping around Suntec City? Satiate your bubble tea cravings at this spot, specialising in a myriad of unique pearl flavours that change daily, such as mocha, coconut and rock salt. Take Burppler Melissa Chee's lead and go for the salty-sweet, nicely balanced Black Tea Rock Salt Macchiato with Rock Salt Pearls ($3.90). The refreshing Strawberry Green Tea with Honey Pearls ($3.90) is another winner.
