#2 Tiger Sugar
If Tiger sugar’s anywhere near sight, then there’ll be a queue at sight. Jump back on the bubble tea bandwagon with Tiger Sugar, famously known for their Brown Sugar Boba Milk Cream Mousse. Comprising of brown sugar syrup drizzled all around the cup like “tiger stripes” hence the name and a mix of gigantic chewy tapioca pearls (boba) & tinier pearls, with a layer of cream mousse atop, it’s recommended to give the drink 15 shakes to blend it perfectly so they say. Alley or Tiger Sugar?

Yumcha is serving to make you feel healthier. Are you gonna fall for it is the question? Not to mention, aesthetically Insta-pleasing!
