SUNDAY the Milkbar - 36 Circuit Rd

I was really excited about a new BBT shop opening in the area, but ended up feeling meh after I tried it Ordered the pearl milk tea. The tea taste was normal but pearls were really hard (left overnight?) With the high price point ($3.20) I expected more

The hazelnut chocolate latte is awesomely smooth and the pearl is chewy and not too sweet. Will come back again to try other drinks.

1st drink I got was the dalgona cafe latte which was SO good?!!! 10/10 (MUST TRY!!!) 2nd time I went I got the passion fruit green tea and paradise macchiato which I was really disappointed… Passion fruit green tea was so bland? I don’t taste the green tea flavour at all… for $4.20 I genuinely expected better. Overall the service is good but wish the taste could be improved. (Bbt price q costly too despite being a neighbourhood store??)

Winter melon milk tea 25% sugar tasted like plain water. Lychee fruit tea 25% sugar also tasted like plain water. At this point I’m not sure if the drink requires more sugar OR the recipe needs improvement. The packaging was really nice tho. Price wise I think each a cup does a better job.

New bubble tea shop in Macpherson area. Situated just right around the bustop area. Decided to try their Apple Ade with pearl. Its the first time I see sparkling juice/drinks in bubble tea shop, thus a surprisingly new touch to this trend of bbt shops. Price are decently cheap and good too. Thumbs Up.

Ranking the following drinks from must try to don’t try: 1. Strawberry Latte w Popping Pearl - creamy strawberry milk ? 2. Matcha Macchiato - can’t compare to the expensive matcha drinks but pretty decent! 3. Strawberry Pulp fruit tea - good light fruit tea but has very little pulp 4. Paradise Tea - lighty floral tea 5. Grape Ade - tasted like Fanta 6. Oolong Milk Tea - tea taste was very very light. Almost like drinking milk with a hint of tea. Would recommend getting less ice, as they still gave a lot of ice even tho it was less ice.

Service was good with various cashless and cash payment options. It is having 20% discount for a week. Order pearl milk tea. The pearl was on the chewier side. Packaging of the milk tea was using plastic lid with paper. Was given loyalty card for future purchases.

Was in the area on Saturday morning and decided to get some drinks from this relatively new shop before heading elsewhere for lunch. Got the following drinks: 1) Dalgona Caffe Latte (Upsized) - S$7.20: It's not the usual dalgona coffee that was trending during the lockdown period - instead of the whipped coffee foam on top of milk, dalgona candy (popularised by the Squid Game drama) is generously crumbled over caffe latte. I made the mistake of consuming the drink after too much time has passed and all the dalgona bits have dissolved into the caffe latte. Nevertheless, the coupling of the dalgona and the caffe latte created a delicious drink that has the right level of sweetness. Can see why this is one of the bestsellers of the shop. 2) Taro Matcha Latte (Bottled) - S$4.90: Being a matcha lover, I was intrigued by the combination of taro and matcha that I have not seen in a drink before and decided to get this drink as well. Saw some pre-bottled drinks beside the counter and asked if it was possible to put the taro matcha latte in a bottle since I was going multiple places that day. Thankfully, the shop was able to do so . Honestly shocked at how good the combination of taro and matcha was, the drink was not overly sweet and the taste of taro and matcha was perfectly balanced and neither overwhelmed the other. Was also quite happy that there isn't that "powdery" texture coming from matcha drinks from many other shops. Will definitely get this drink again when I visit the shop again in the future. Overall, the drinks were very tasty and the service was good as well. The shop was clean and the design of the shop has a nice cafe-vibe to it. Strongly recommend this shop.
