Goodness gracious me. Just look at the insane line at KOI Cafe Bubble Tea at iluma on a Saturday at 4 p.m if you will please! I don’t know if I should say this, but the rather harmless looking stall has got to be the busiest part of Iluma! You gotta confess that the shopping mall we so speak of hasn’t exactly been bringing in the crowds despite all its arty farty publicity attempts with never-seen-before galleries, concept restaurants and stand-alone fashion boutiques.Pictured above is their sig
Pictured above is their signature Bubble Green Milk Tea! I tried to figure out what the difference between their “Bubble Green Milk Tea” and “Green Milk Tea” was, but I couldn’t decipher, for the life of me, what the counter girl from China was saying.
Singaporeans have little patience, so if a brand can make their customers wait this long in the stuffy weather with no seats to ease the discomfort, it has gotta be better than good. Especially when their tea prices are above the likes of Sweet Talk and others and their staff are unfriendly, prone to mistakes and very monolingual (only Chinese please!).
Besides, that’s not all. The picture displays only half the story where people are in line for payment and ordering. Wait till you see the other part where people are standing around for another 15 mins to collect their order. Let’s do the math here shall we? 15 min + 15 mins = 30 mins! God bless my patient soul! Waiting time differs from time to time and is dependent on the efficiency and number of staff they have at any given moment.
Is this merely another craze that will soon die down? Or one that will continue for some time to come? Let me know what you think! For me, the milk tea is definitely of better quality, but I can’ say so for the pearls and I’m a pearls kinda girl. All in all, I say, it is NOT worth the wait.
