Gong Cha 贡茶

the milk green tea here is one of my favourites among all the bubbletea shops! the 2nd lowest level of sugar is enough for me. This is a very refreshing drink especially when it is icy cold. The taste is not strong so it is something you can get after a heavy meal or if you are looking for a "light" drink. The green tea and milk is blended well together and I simply love it!

With the bubble tea crazy, more and more bubble tea stalls have been set up around the island. Located at basement 2 of City Square Mall is the flagship Gong Cha stall. The queue was quite reasonable so I queued up to get one to try. I had the bubble milk tea. The pearls were big and chewy. However, I was kind of disappointed with the tea it used. I thought it was not as good compared to KOI and Each-A-Cup which I have tried.

Ordered a cup of earl grey milk tea with pearls for a hot hot day. Usually I don't order pearls but somehow today I feel like chewing something while having my bubble tea. The earl grey tasted okay, with sufficient sweetness and tea smell. The pearls were nice! Chewy, not too soft. The skin of the pearls were all intact and rounded.

After finishing shopping and dinner-ing at Citysquare, I walked around aimlessly... after which i passby Gong Cha and i planned to buy it since i didn't order any drinks while having my dinner. As usual, i bought milk tea with pudding instead of pearls. as i afraid the pearls will make me grow fat ! therefore i change it to pudding. The pudding is so much better compared to the pearls. As pudding does not taste as sweet as the pearls However, i still love both milk tea with pearls or pudding ! As i am bubble tea lovers ! No matter which is which i will still continue to support Gong cha !!! ^^

i was shopping around with my children when we got really thirsty. We decided to order some beverages but could not decide what drink. When we spotted a gong cha, we did not hesitate to join the queue. I ordered their earl grey milk tea, my daughter ordered the oolong milk tea and my son ordered the normal milk tea. We shared the three flavours, the oolong milk tea is a little bitter, the normal milk tea is very milky. I still found my earl grey one refreshing. The tea taste is very fragrant as compared to the normal and oolong ones.

i get to know this brand when i was in hongkong
was only 10 or 12hkd only,bubble tea in singapore was really damn expensive
i find that is quite unique cause of the milk & green tea powder
usually bubble tea they won't have green tea powder on top
but i don't know why the tea in singapore taste so difference
i seriously don't like the milk,it have a bad smell
recently my friend recommend me to try winter melon tea with white pearl
& i think is not bad,tea a bit sweet but white pearl was very chewing

I bought gong cha back for my family, to save me the trouble of ordering. I ordered all the same flavours, Earl grey milk tea with pearls. Earl grey milk tea is less sweeter than their normal milk tea. It is very smooth and does not leave an after taste. The pearls are very chewy. Provides a constrast in texture.

The first time i heard of gong cha, I was like 'oh no, why is the craze of bubble tea back again?! All over again!' But when I tried it, I fell back in love with bubble tea. I especially love their white pearl jelly! Its very refreshing, there isnt much taste with the pearls, but they are rather 'crunchy', or do you call it chewy? haha! It just feels very much different from the common black pearls. I love their earl grey milk tea, you can really taste the flavour of the tea leaves! Double thumbs up for Gong Cha

Tried Melon Milk Tea. It was like my second cup of Gong Cha for the day. Haha. A lot of my friends don’t exactly like the super creamy milk on top of the tea but I love it so much! It’s so smooth and rich and creamy, yums. Anyway, I thought melon means honeydew, but apparently this melon refers to winter melon. It was a little like drinking winter melon tea in a can. I don’t know how much sugar we had cos the lady didn’t ask. Tsk. It was quite sweet so I think, 80%? As usual, we had aiyu jelly! (:

I was looking for a drink that was light and refreshing after my gym workout and so the Camelia Tea (茶花绿茶) at Gong Cha attracted me to buy. As the name suggests, it's floral tea blend with green tea.

I felt refreshed after just a few sips of the tea. Not sure what flower they mixed into the green tea, but it was very nice! Thumbs up!

Gong Cha's taro milk tea tastes better than Rockery's Taro green milk tea.It has a rich taro original taste and although it is abit sweet but still can taste the original taro milk tea.

Though the price is $3 plus which is more expensive than Rockery,but the taste is definitely better!Highly recommended!Thumbs up!

I used to go to the Amore gym at City Square & hence discovered this bubble tea joint at B2 of City Square.

Their speciality drink is the 功夫奶茶 (gongfu nai cha) which I enjoy very much. The milk froth is on top instead of being mixed into the tea.

My other favourite is the Citreon Juice with K Jelly. It's actually Yuzu Cha wif many of the fruit bits & K Jelly in the drink for u to chew. Very worthwhile drink to take at $2.90 a cup

When I first saw this shop at City Square Mall B2, I was overwhelmed by the amount of people queuing up for this bubble tea. I was thinking to myself, "Not another KOI?" But looking at the queue, I was enticed to queue up as well being the typical Singaporean.

The best choice to look at a bubble tea shop was to order their milk tea, you could taste how good or bad it was. But being a very careless self, I ordered "Nai Gai Hong Cha" thinking that it was my typical cup of milk tea. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that my drink appeared with have milk on top, instead of being defused in it! (Refer to photograph below.) There was a small sticker with instructions on it on how one should drink it. You simply drink the milk together with the tea, without mixing it. The milk is somewhat special, not like your typical milk. It's not too sweet, yet not too overwhelming as well. The pearls of the tea was also chewy and sweet, and I really like it a lot.

For all the time you spend queuing up for KOI, you can get many cups of Gong Cha. It's definitely worth it!

This bubble tea store is from Taiwan, Kao Hsiung. They have all kinds of tea like Oolong Tea, Alishan Tea, Black Tea, Roasted Melon Tea etc. We can choose the level of sugar that we want just like KOI!

I have tried the Han Tian Ai Yu Drink.

Ai Yu is a kind of ice jelly from Taiwan. This drink is mixed with lemon juice and white chewy pearl! It's really refreshing. I prefer this Ai Yu than KOI one. Not too sour. (If you try Koi Ai Yu, you will know what I mean.)

Prefer their non-milk drinks!~!~ Shall try their Milk Tea soon!~!~

Like KOI, Gong Cha also originates from Taiwan and each has their own loyal fans.

Gong Cha Ali Shan Milk Tea ($2.40) is their signature and what sets it apart from KOI’s version is that frothy milk is added on top after the tea is brewed instead of blending it together. The result is a creamier texture that lingers in the mouth which I’m not too crazy about.

Though no sugar is added, I find the Korean Citron Jelly with Konnyaku Jelly ($2.90) too sweet cuz of the candied peels.

The best out of the lot is Lemon Juice with White Pearl & Ai-Yu Jelly ($3.40)! Bitter, sweet and sour all in one sip. And I’m particularly partial towards Ai-Yu jelly =)
