8:29 Don't worry Daniel nobody acknowledged but i laughed at your joke 😂😂

Thanks Jon for doing chrysanthemum milk tea at Playmade justice with his descriptions hahaha I LOVE IT TOO

Sorry but I can’t trust Allison after her proclamation of LiHo being her favourite bbt brand…

This episode showcased your teams passion on bubbletea! Your description and experiences on these bubble tea were really a joy to watch esp for a fellow bubble tea lover! Pls do a part 2 on the smaller brands like Wobbee, Hollin, R&B etc!

R&B and Sharetea and Each a cup is underrated. They have gems.

Chrysanthemum milk tea with pink cactus pearl is bomb

Agree that liho's standard has gone down tremendously. In terms of consistency, koi is still the best. Chicha's tea is fragrant but it's the most expensive chain among all. Also fully agree with Jon that playmade's chrysanthemum milk tea is DA BOMB! I love playmade's homemade pearls - especially the grape one! 🍇

Playmade doesn't have the best milk tea, but the best pearls out of all the brands. Their fruit pearls (especially) Grape pearl is the best imo. When eat the pearl, doesn't feel as "cancerous" compared to standard black tapioca or golden pearls Hollins also have different flavored pearls but imo not as good as Playmade pearls

DO A PART 2 PLEASE!!! and another trying the various bbt brands around~ this was so fun to watch and i loved hearing all the opinions you guys had abt the bbt!! (p.s. playmade is superior

CHI CHA IS GOATED....

Chicha is still the best for me. Playmade milk tea tastes like milk water, I don’t see the hype around

Green milk tea from koi was my OG flavour, but recently peach/mango four seasons milk tea hits the spot

I worked at koi before and they actually use powdered milk LOL but somehow it still tastes really good😭😭agree with Alison on koi’s green milk tea my favourite drink🥺

Playmade chrysanthemum milk tea 0% sugar with konjac pearl is the win for me - the burnt smell is the uniqueness. The same drink for me for every visit!

It's my first time seeing Jon talking about something so passionately and for so long. Please also consider doing a review of coffee like huggs, luckin coffee, starbucks etc.

I can recommend Koi Thé and Yan Xi Tang because they have NO ICE option! Cold and no ice, more juice for you!

THEY REMOVED SCHOLAR DA HONG PAO MILK TEA!!!!! i stopped drinking liho afterwards.

current favourites are definitely playmade and chicha! playmade grape yakult green tea with grape pearls is the goat. honourable mention goes to chagee and hollin, and there was a period i was quite fond of the alley too

Golden Ovaltine is actually from Gongcha! Not KOI haha. I was also a fan of it!

Chicha hot bubble milk tea 0% sugar!!! so far the best hot bbt i’ve had, life changing if you want to have a hot drink

DailyKetchup team, you all should try R&B Tea (Parkway Parade Branch). I always like the 0% sugar Mighty Luffy Fruit Tea with less yuzu. It comes with watermelons to eat and other fruits inside. Refreshing. Love the tea taste of Dao Hong Pao Latte with cream with some crunchy bits on top from “Little Red Dot Tea” at Kinex. But I think this brand already closed down. Recently, tried the new drink, Orh Nee Rice Milk Tea at Koi The (100AM). The taro gao gao. Shiok. 😄 Will one day need to try the ovaltine! Need to have second round rankings, you all need to visit other underrated bubble tea shops. 😂

The passion for Bubble Tea from you guys! ROFL

Where the HDB downstair oldskool bubble tea that use powder make one Blue coral best

Milk Tea my top choice is The Alley. Chi cha, Playmade, Koi then the others. Gong Cha when first started is more natural than artificial. Have my favourite Longang red date tea which they removed. Liho now is very artifical.

include hollins in the next part please!!!

No no no , the OG is sweet talk!!!! ( like blue coral ice blend and mini pearl which cost 80cent)

Useless fun fact : Turn the Liho logo upside down to see it differently...

pls do a part 2 aft yall tried the bbts!!

Gongcha’s brown sugar drink is the best

osmanthus... is a flower... no? its not really a tea leaf... right?

List your favourite orders! CHICHA: - Osmanthus Oolong Tea 50% - Bubble Milk Tea 0% - Osmanthus Tea with Honey 50% PLAYMADE: - Grape Yakult Green Tea 0% with Grape Pearls - Osmanthus Oolong Tea 30% with Osmanthus Jelly - Chrysanthemum Milk Tea 0% with Chrysanthemum Pearl KOI: - Yakult Green Tea 30% R&B TEA: - Mighty Luffy 30% - Da Hong Pao w Tea Cream 30%

LOVEEEE the painting of the episode segment, great community effort :) more reasons to support yall!

koi green milk tea is the og 👑👑👑

Wheres Fruce?? Fruce is delicious esp their coconut mocha. Their mochi pearls are wow wow. Also the ume plum 👍👍👍

35:26 THANK YOU ALISON FOR MENTIONING CUPWALKER

Since no one commented this.. Try The Alley Royal No.9 Milk Tea!

Chi cha San Chen is pronounce as Chi Cha San "Qian" in Chinese. They are one of the best in SG for the fragrant of the Tea, but for Bubble Milk Tea wise I would not say is the best as the Tea is stronger and in combination, feels more like Tea milk than Milk tea.

AtTea is top notch... beats everything else I ever tried. Tea itself + toppings are mind blowing yummiest

It really depends what you enjoy in a bubble tea. Chicha has the best tea without a doubt. Osmanthus oolong mango(not milk) 0 sugar, the most fragrant tea. If you like pearls, go playmade. The best way to judge a bubble tea is by its queue 😂. Nobody returns to a bbt shop on hype.

Should have a part 2 and add in hollin & iTea

KOI Thé .... Thé is pronounced "Tay" in French.

HeyTea is the best now. But they took away the superb taro tea that comes with thick warm taro paste. Bring it back! Lino old dahong pao was a highlight they also removed it! Remember Agen tea?they were real good too

Liho keep changing their menu. My friends and I all stop going to Liho because our favourite drinks were removed from the menu one by one over the years.

Koi was from Taiwan, Gongcha somehow... bought over from Korea (which is why somehow Gongcha is still quite prominent in Seoul itself).

Koi is a taiwan brand by 50岚 in Taiwan. Gongcha used to be a Taiwan brand until it was bought over a Korean company. That leads to the change in franchise in Singapore as the franchise rate went up. LiHo almost appear overnight and took over almost all the Gongcha. Gongcha used to be in capital letter until it is now rebranded by gongcha (all in small letters). The current gongcha is now run by Mr Bean.

I can't with playmate. 0% with pearl is still way toooooo sweet.

Gong Cha is the best to me (it is milky and creamy to me), tied with Chi Cha, then Li Ho, I don't like Koi and I sincerely gave it many chances

KOI black tea with ice cream FTW

Chi cha used to be very good when they first arrived in SG but the standard dropped drastically recently; no tea taste, cold ice drink not cold, a bit warm. Cck n woodlands mrt outlet sucks.

Wushiland NEEDS to be in the list

Osmanthus Oolong 0% sugar from Chicha jurong west branches ❤❤❤ the taste of tea is actually there and it’s deliciousssss.

Pls try Fruce n Bober Tea

I’m so glad I met some mates here that appreciate Playmade. Another bubble tea that is worth a try is 霸王茶姬. Not cheap but the tea is so smooth and fragrant. I usually just have my bubble tea with toppings but BWCJ tea is enough without any toppings. Sidenote: Dan’s dad joke game is getting strong

For ChiCha, Alison can try Osmanthus Oolong with Mango.. it taste good even without 100% sugar

Same as Alison, tried Chicha at least 4-5 times all taste like water, its just diluted tea water

My go to; Koi - Hazelnut Milk Tea, No topping, 0% PlayMate - Rice Milk Tea, Sesame Pearl, 50% LiHo - Cheezo Milk Tea (Some how they removed from menu liao......) / Mango Delight

In the mid 90s, there was Quickly bubble tea. It had long queues but fizzled out after awhile. And Koi ovaltine is super.

my fav is chagee 👌👌👌👌👌 fav of ALL TIME!! Used to love gongcha long time back but agreed that standards had dropped. playmade was one of the my fav too xD

playmade chrysanthemum milk tea with pink cactus pearls and woobbee pipagao milk tea 🔛🔝

How can you guys not include hey tea?!?!!

my must-go-to: playmade earl grey milk tea + black sesame pearl 0%. So sad now they don’t have earl grey Liao. The aroma from earl grey is woah, just like how Jon describes😂

Please do bubble tea review of other brands too, there are other hidden brands which are better than the ones you chose

吃茶三千 should be pronounced as Chi Cha San Qian. This word 千 is pronounced as qian not cheng.

According to Google, Chinese in ancient history, consumed tea leaves as a form of medicine and food, before doing so as a drink.

Tried today after john paul talk so much! Damn It’s so nice bro!!! The chrysanthemum milk tea is fking good! The aroma is really there! Cant wait to test other flavour!

Playmade grape yakult black tea 25% sugar with grape pearlssssssssssss

milksha leh mixue leh itea leh sharetea leh

Hollin should be mentioned!! Its soooo good 🎉

I think ChiCha is not bad Osmanthus Oolong is da best! My go to drink

The LIHO claim is so real I got so upset after winter melon milk tea disappeared (I always got it even tho it was excessively sweet and I cldnt select sugar % cuz it was js that good) + cheezho disappearing too now I can’t even drink LIHO anym cuz it’s so bad now

CHI CHA taro series is the best

ChichaSanChien if you see this, I just need you to have a bigger cup!!

Y’all need to blind taste test to verify if this is an accurate ranking My personal FAV Hollin (RSM series) , Chicha (国王奶茶), The Alley (No.9 milk tea), R&B, 我爱台妹. Side note, Koi’s new low fat series kicks ass !!!

does anyone remember the OG bubble tea store in clarke quay wayyy back in early 2000s? it was a little sit-down cafe which served drinks with whimsical names in glasses, along with taiwanese snacks like 鹽酥雞etc.... used to be SUCH a treat for me when we went there!

i asked Liho why they changed their menu, they said it was because of the Nutrigrade rating :/ the timing was almost at the same time too when this was rolled out

Koi Pipagao Milk Tea only available once a year in the month of April.

liho needs to bring back their calpis peach!!!!!!!!! SUPERIOR

BOBER HAS THE BEST NORMAL PEARL Damn QQ and always consistent

You guys need to do a Part 2 WITHOUT leaving out other big bbt chains like R&B, HeyTea and ChaGee. Please go try them and rate them altogether again. I recommend the creme brûlée brown sugar milk tea from R&B, green tea with cheese cap from HeyTea and any of the milk teas from ChaGee! Go try

I've been reading "chicha shan qian" all the time haha!

Should have ordered a standard drink from each store to help with the ranking.

Use to love chicha a lot but i find their standard had drop ..koi still better got honey green tea and hazelnut milk tea. I prefer their OGs then the seasonal ones.

playmade is goddamn superior

Dongding oolong 0% hot is best!!

Momo tea was one of the earlier ones and I rmbr it being sooo good..

I thought quickly (快可立) is the oldest brand

I am with Alison toooooo on Chi Cha! I have tried Chi Cha at least 4-5 times, across different outlets but it just taste diluted, the tea taste is sooooo faint and it cost so much more than other brands..

I just watched this video and i'm not sure if this is updated or not updated but there's milk da hong pao tea at my outlet eh for liho but i live at the west side. Is that not the same as the milk tea? Also there's normal koi outlets not just the koi the outlets. Got two variations. My area got both of them ahah. Anyways i think the cloud drink got flower bits inside or whatever which is why smell perfumey.

Do SG have Black Whale? I love the Tea aroma but the bubble so so, but their super soft crystal jelly so refreshing~

KOI!! Please Bring back caramel milktea

Liho. Cannot la. That was a time they don't sell classic milk tea. So A bubble tea shop don't sell bubble tea. What's that sia.

Fun fact: bubble tea "bubble" isn't referring to the pearls/topping, but the bubble foam you get after shaking.

Currently watching this with bbt cravings and also sick 😭

26:35 Jon reminded me of trump when he said spot on

30:40 not sure when was this recorded, da hong pao was gone but as of 21July2024, da hong pao milk tea is back and its one $2.9. yyaayyy

Used to have cup walker at suntec's carrefour. Affordable and nice.

Rate itea please! Peach Green tea with white pearl and Passion fruit tea with aloe vera ❤❤❤

equivalent of koi in tw is 50岚, why bbt brands limited to those 5

I feel like Liho standard is very outlet dependant, some outlet tasted good. Nex outlet taste horrible. the real underrated gem for me is At tea, genmaicha or chrysanthemum
