TP Tea (Suntec City) - New Bubble Tea Shop in Suntec City

Bubble tea was introduced into Singapore from Taiwan in 1992 and it shows no sign of slowing down. Bubble tea shops are popping up all over Singapore like mushrooms. 

 
TP Tea Front

I am personally not a fan of bubble tea. I still feel that bubble tea is just weak tea with lots of sugar. But after my recent visit to Taipei where I had a cup of bubble tea that blew me away, I thought I would give bubble tea another chance. 

TP Tea (Suntec City) – Menu

So when this new bubble tea shop TP Tea from Taiwan decided to open up in Suntec City, I decided to give it a go. I mean, a bubble tea shop that uses “tie guan yin” can’t be that bad, right? Moreover, it is from Taiwan, the land of bubble tea. 
 
TP Tea (Suntec City) – All Three
 

I got the 3 bestsellers and took them back to share with my colleagues. 

TP Tea (Suntec City) – Pearl Milk Tea

Pearl Milk Tea [$3.90] is the most basic of bubble tea. I recommend big pearls go to with this, so that you have something to chew on. The milk tea is smooth albeit a little thin. I was really expecting the thick and rich kind of milk tea that I had in Taipei, so I was a little disappointed. 

TP Tea (Suntec City) – TieGuanYin Tea Latte Front

TP Tea (Suntec City) – TieGuanYin Tea Latte Back

TieGuanYin Tea Latte [$4.60] is the bestseller of this bubble tea shop, probably due its novelty. You don’t see many bubble tea shop using tieguanyin as the tea base for bubble tea because it is a pretty strong tea. TP Tea has done a good job in blending the milk so that it takes away the bitterness of the tea, but that made the taste not as rich. 

TP Tea (Suntec City) – Pearl Black Tea Latte with Red Bean Front

TP Tea (Suntec City) – Pearl Black Tea Latte with Red Bean Back

Pearl Black Tea Latte with Red Bean [$5.30] is something new in bubble tea (or maybe it’s just that I seldom drink bubble tea). The bubble tea base is still a little weak, but the addition of red bean makes the drink more interesting. 
 
TP Tea (Suntec City) – Pearl Milk Tea Softserve Ice Cream

 

TP Tea has come up with something entirely new - Pearl Milk Tea Softserve Ice Cream [$3.60]. This is the first time I am seeing milk tea in the form of softserve ice-cream. Served with small pearls, it really tastes like milk tea! I thought the idea of combining of milk tea with softserve ice-cream is pretty ingenious. 
 
The tea are imported from Taiwan, so why doesn’t Singapore’s bubble tea have that robust richness that I experienced in Taipei? Maybe we should send all the staff to Taipei for training before they start working in bubble tea shops in Singapore. Till then, I will have my occasional cup of bubble tea when I visit Taipei again.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
