It retails at $3.90 and even comes with true-black legit pearls.

TP Tea has two outlets in Singapore; one at Suntec City and the other at Changi Airport Terminal 2, where it is opened 24/7.

Oh, and have I mentioned, TP Tea is Halal-certified.

Bubble Tea Toast Series/BreadTalk

BreadTalk, the purveyor of all things doughy-good in Singapore has come up with a tribute to Bubble Tea.

Their Earl Grey Bubble Tea Toast (伯爵珍珠土司) comes with an earl grey tea-infused cream filling with pearls in every bite.

There’s a Chocolate Malt Bubble Tea Toast (巧克力珍珠土司) too, similarly priced at $2.90 each, or $5 for 2.

Their Earl Grey Bubble Tea Roll (伯爵珍奶卷) rolled into town too with a similar filling to the Bubble Tea Toast.

Instead of toast thought, pearls and earl gray-filling alike, are bound up in good ol’ Swiss Roll goodness.

The Earl Grey Bubble Tea Toast is available only at the following outlets:

  • BreadTalk IHQ
  • Chinatown Point
  • CityLink Mall
  • ION Orchard
  • Novena Square

On the other hand, the Earl Grey Bubble Tea Roll is available at all BreadTalk outlets except for Singapore Cruise Centre and United Square.

Bubble Tea Tart/Edith Patisserie

Located along North Bridge Road, Edith Patisserie is a “homestyle bakery helmed by a small team of dedicated bakers”.

Chief among its wonderful creation is the Bubble Tea Tart which is a made with a almond pasty base, piped with black tea cream and topped off with homemade jet-black tapioca pearls.

8 Days says it’s something “we’d willingly eat.”

I’m inclined to agree.

Brown Sugar Bubble Tea-flavoured Candy/Puccho

I’m not saying Puchho’s a Hi-Chew ripoff, but they look and taste rather similar no?

That said, emulation is the best form of flattery, and their Brown Sugar Bubble Tea-flavoured Candy clearly pays tribute to the awesomeness that is Bubble Tea.

Each gummy packs a authentic milk tea note with a slightly chewier centre resembling pearls.

The candy is available for retail at selected 7-11 stores for just $2.
