We don’t have any stats that tell us how much bubble tea Singaporeans drink. But just based on our observation of everyone around us, we’d have to go with: a lot.
We already have more than 47 brands of bubble tea in Singapore but the next big thing that bubble tea fans will be flocking to isn’t another new brand, but a pop-up “exhibition” that’s really made up of everything your Instagram (and bubble tea) dreams are made up of.
The Bubble Tea Factory is what we are talking about. Described as an immersive, multi-sensory experience, The Bubble Tea Factory has more than 10 installations that are all bubble tea-inspired.
These installations include a room covered with full-length mirror that’s filled with neon balls, a bathtub filled with fake money with a neon sign that says “Boba Ballin'” hanging over it, and a “Pearl Pit” with 100,000 lavender balls that is made to look like you’re diving into a sea of boba pearls.
But we’re expecting the most popular installation to be the one with a day bed and a bubble tea IV drip, complete with a neon sign that says “A dose of BBT” captioning it. It’s cheeky, and it’s pink… what’s not to love about it?
Another installation that is likely to capture everyone’s hearts? A see-saw with bubble tea on one end and an empty seat for you.
Besides taking photos at these gorgeous installations, you will also be able to redeem a complimentary cup of brown sugar boba milk tea from Jenjudan with your ticket. Sample portions of bubble tea-flavoured popcorn and brown sugar beans will also be available at a snack kiosk.
There will also a huge variety of merchandise on sale, including bubble tea plushies, lamps, and even earrings. If food is more your thing, there are also full-sized portions of the snacks you’ve sampled and boba milk tea ice-cream.
