Each-A-Cup, Marine Parade
Singapore · 2005
Probably my first experience with boba. My go-to was the green apple ice blended which was only $1.80. Back then I disliked tapioca and chose konjac jelly instead.
Tea stories
Here are some tea places that I hold dear memories of, that have shaped me in some way.
Sweettalk, Eunos Vista
Singapore · 2011
I think this might have been when I started liking milk teas. They sold $1.50 milk teas, 30 cents more for a flavor. My go-to was the honeydew milk tea. My neighbors and I would go after school and hang out, study and get drinks together.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Singapore · 2015
My family would have breakfast together here often, always with earl grey or english breakfast tea. I often studied here with friends too. My personal favorites were the earl grey tea latte and the tropical passion tea latte.
CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice
Los Angeles · 2018
The nearest good boba shop from campus, there were seats and the campus wifi was still reachable, making it great for studying. I always got the matcha latte with boba, no ice, 50% sugar.
Moge Tee East Village
New York · 2021
Back when we lived in New York, Katie and I loved walking around Manhattan, even in the deep winter. We loved hanging out around East Village and this shop with its cushioned seats and welcoming music was such a comfort. I still remember the heavenly feeling of sipping on the warm taro tofu pudding drink. 50% sugar, warm.
Moge Tee Newport
New Jersey · 2022
This shop was close to where we lived and had a huge seating area with some good board games. I have great fond memories of playing Splendor or Connect-4 here. They did an amazing purple yam milk tea with boba that was perfect. No ice, fixed at 30% sugar.
