13 cute cup holders to get so you can sip on your bubble tea in style

If there’s one thing people in Singapore love more than durian, it’s bubble tea. And when we’re making our boba tea order, we’re most certainly going for the largest size on the menu: yes, please to a Large Passionfruit Green Tea with Pink Cactus Pearls from Playmade; count us in for Gong Cha’s Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Pearls in Large; and who’s going to say no to Chi Cha’s Ding Dong Fresh Oolong Milk Tea with Konjac Jelly?

Since we’ll be sipping our large bubble tea on the go, what better way to cut down on single-use plastics and do so in style with these cutest cup holders in Singapore?
