Gong Cha 贡茶

Actually i'm a Share Tea & Koi's Fan...

I personally prefer Share Tea & Koi's Classic milk tea because I always don't know what I should order from Gong Cha...

What i know is that Gong Cha’s black pearls seem to be slightly smaller than Share Tea & KOI bubble tea’s...Gong Cha tends to be rather weak and bland in taste...But if it comes down to the best bubble tea in Singapore, I’d probably choose Share Tea or KOI cafe over Gong Cha Bubble tea...

The sugar level is just recommended, but if you have a sweet tooth, you can always have your Gong Cha at a higher sugar level...

Everytime I come here, there is no queue at all so I get my orders pretty fast. This time round, I ordered the taro milk which is around $3.20 if I am not wrong. For sugar level, I ordered 25% (or 30%?). The sweetness is just right for me. You can taste the blend of taro + milk together. Taro lovers will love this! Even after all the ice has melted, it does not taste diluted.

craving for bubble tea and passed through Gong Cha. So of course i am going to buy one cup of milk tea! The milk tea shop that i like the most is Chatime, followed by Koi, Share tea and then Gong Cha. The milk tea from gong cha is the least nice one, i dont like the coarse feel on my tongue after drinking. and the milk tea has too much of the milk essence powder and no tea flavour. The pearl is okay but i still prefer the chatime one.

Hardly patronize bubble tea shop these days but was taken away by the choice of beverages available at Gong Cha! Gong Cha has a very comprehensive beverage list whereby there's drink for everyone of age.

I got the red date tea for my mum.

Sour plum for my husband.

Orea mix for my sis.

Chocolate choice for the chocolate lover.

Everyone is happy with our drink, the taste is solid - both the sour plum and red date are comparable with restaurant standard. Chocolate range too, please our addiction well.

Strawberry calpis drink with white pearl. I love the drink as it is a yogurt base drink flavored with strawberry. The white jelly pearl is always very nice. Texture that is not too soft so it is not that chewy as normal pearl. This has no sugar content. The person who served me has good attitude and always has a smile. She also greeted me loudly in a pleasant way when she sees me coming towards it. Nice service.

Was out shopping for groceries when I saw there was a Gong Cha in front of the supermarket. I was not familiar with Sembawang Shopping Centre as I just moved into the neighbourhood, so was pretty pleased that there was Gong Cha here. The great thing was - There was NO QUEUE!!! Left my dad to pay for the groceries and I dashed to the Gong Cha counter to order my drink (Yes, I was mad about Gong Cha, not their bubble teas, but Lemon Honey drink).

It was only $2.50 for a plain lemon honey drink, and service was quick. Got my drink in 2mins after I paid. It was just nice, not too sweet or sour; although there wasnt any sweetness level you could choose. (For their other drinks, you can choose the level of sweetness you prefer) Only thing was, there were lemon rinds and flesh inside the drink, which I wasnt a very big fan of. It just felt weird to eat lemon skin and flesh while drinking something.

Overall, the drink was very refreshing. My dad and mum kept snatching the drink from my hands and took sips of it. In the end, I managed to drink only about half of the whole cup. Nevertheless, the drink perked me up and I didnt felt as sleepy as before I drank it!

GONGCHA FTW. I'm a fan of bubble tea. I have to control my intake of bubble tea. I drink almost thrice a week. It's bad for health. High sugar intake which makes me grow horizontally each day.
Among so many bubble tea outlets, I rate Gongcha as the no.3 choice. My first is Chatime, KOI then Gongcha. I always order Herbal jelly milk tea. It's not as sinful as drinking pearl milk tea as pearl is high in carbohydrate as it is made from starch. I guess herbal jelly is more healthy. That's my perception. It makes me feel happy after drinking, especially during a hot and humid day.

My colleague is so nice to treat us Gong Cha when he is back from his offday! He bought many cups with different flavours of each cup. The one i chose is the lemon jelly with white pearls This is a healthier choice as compare to the milktea as it contains lower calories plus it is "WHITE" Pearls which i think is very unique to have white pearls instead of the usual black ones. The jellly tasted very nice ~ soft and easily to drink through the big straw. The jelly does not taste bland as it is make of "Ai yu" try it out if you got no idea what is "Ai yu" !

Seeing there are only 2 people waiting for their drinks, I got two cups of Gong Cha for me and my hubby since we are thirsty and are craving something cold. I got the Earl Grey milk tea 80% sugar and Green tea milk tea 50% sugar. We find the sweetness level of 50% to be just right for the green tea milk tea such that we finished the green tea milk tea on the spot and left the earl grey milk tea for consumption the next day. At 80% sugar level, it is too sweet for me, and by the next day, having placed it in the fridge, the pearls had harden and are not chewy anymore. Next time, I will just go for 50% sugar level.

I decided to try gong cha’s caramel milk tea. I ordered their caramel milk tea with white pearl. I know that caramel will be slightly sweeter than other drinks so I opted for 30%. However, it turned out that the 30% is still too sweet for me. I was lucky I did not choose 50% or else I dun need to drink the milk tea. The milk tea is very smooth and milky, but the tea fragrance seems to be a little overpowered by the caramel. Nevertheless, I believe if I chose 0%, the drink will be just nice!

Bought milk oolong tea from gong cha at sembawang outlet. I think the drink is not bad. i also ordered herbal jelly.Overall, i think the drink taste normal. Perhaps i didnt ordered their house special therefore i couldn't have the best taste experience from Gong Cha.

I think the gong cha is thoughtful to allow their customers to choose the sugar level. This allows them to pay conscious to their sugar level and they will feel less guilty upon drinking.

I passed by Gong Cha recently and finally gave in to my temptation to try one of their bubble tea.

I ordered the Passion Fruit Green Tea for $2.50. The sweetness of the bubble tea was at just the right level and the pearl was chewy and just right.

The staff one service was quick and efficient despite the queue and I was rather impressed at the speed at which they made their bubble tea.

i would recommend this Gong Cha to anyone who would like to try drinking bubble tea (:
