Koi Cafe

nono, not the Japanese fish. Not really a cafe at my neighbourhood either. It's a stall, selling bubble tea. So popular that u can find students roaming around its stall before it opens. When it does, there's already a short queue which builds up the whole day - queue and wait for your drink = total time 55 minutes and that's the norm!

So wat's so great about this bubble tea stall? I've heard rave reviews from three good friends and my mum got into the queuing spirit - to get me to queue lah!

my first drink was cold cappucino. SUPER STRONG. So strong that i couldn't sleep the whole night, tossing and turning in bed, only managed short naps in between 4-5am! From then on i was a walking zombie - not your average low-grade bubble tea. I LOVE IT!!!!

Green tea means green tea. Plum green tea means u can TASTE the plum flavour and the green tea in the drink. What amazes me was although there are two strong distinct flavours in one drink itself! No diluted taste unlike the rest of the bubble tea joints i've tried.

wat's even more impressive is its pearls which fit in ANY drink - from cold coffee to cold tea - all across the board! Something that the bubble joints i've been to CANNOT achieve: either their pearls fit one drink but not the other or their pearls are terrible-tasting.

After trying three Koi Cafe drinks i am convinced of its popularity and boldness to even open a joint in Illuma (Illuma's rent not cheap lor, in the middle of town area!)

Thanks to Koi Cafe my sleepy little neighbourhood is alive - after sleeping for 20 over years
