KOI at Bugis + 2013-05-10 allergytofood (216 Review(s))
I remember the first outlet at Toa Payoh.... It was a few years ago and i was coming back from school... The amazing thing is that now it has expanded to other outlets.... The first cup of milk tea i had was the chocolate milk tea and the first time that i actually saw the sugary percentage....
As for me... when i was walking around certain places i saw the cafe pass Bugis + and i said to myself... what a wonderful world... Koi is here and imma get what i first bought a few years ago...
First established in Toa Payoh, I was always puzzled why I didn't find Koi in Taiwan. Anyway, Koi serves up a really really mean cup of jasmine pearl milk tea with chewy black pearls. I am so much a fan. I ordered the lowest sugar level to try to make myself feel less guilty. Anyway, it tasted perfectly fine and you could taste the brewed tea within the milk tea itself without the milk overpowering the tea taste. Great! but expensive.

My friend and I ordered their... Hazelnut milk tea (left) and chocolate milk tea(right)
I always loves bubble tea from KOI ! because of the chewy pearls... it is not too soft or too hard as compared to other bubble tea shops.
I drank the Hazelnut milk tea...it is not too milky with a bit of hazelnut flavor! after I have finished the drink, there are still quite a lot of pearls left...

Even though KOI has opened and expanded to many outlets here, the standard did not drop. I usually order the normal milk tea with 25% sugar and it is already sweet enough for me. You can request for less ice or less pearls. I always request for less pearls as I find that the pearls take up almost half of the cup and I will end up eating the pearls instead of enjoying the dirnk instead. The flavoured milk teas are good too.
I dropped by KOI today at Bugis+ cause I had a craving suddenly.
I usually order caramel milk tea ($2.90) because I like it pretty much. I've always liked koi more than any other bubbletea shops like gongcha! I think their original milk tea taste better than gongcha's one too.
The outlet at bugis+ is usually packed with people and the waiting time can be up to 20mins. KOI is just beside the macs.
