It seems like the bubble tea trend is not dying down anytime soon, with new contenders Kebuke Singapore and Go Ba recently landing on our shores. The latter, which boasts 16 outlets in Taiwan, is the latest kid on the Raffles City block. This new outlet marks the brand’s first international outpost.
Go Ba, also known as 果霸茶 in Taiwan, offers a selection of fresh fruit juices, fruit teas, smoothies, and bubble teas that are made with high-quality ingredients.
Prices start from just $3 for a medium cup of Beauty Lychee Milk Tea, Oriental Beauty Black Tea, Orchid Green Tea.
The Beauty Lychee Milk Tea ($3) was one of my favourites—it was a standard milk tea infused with a subtle hint of lychee flavour. It was not too sweet and had just the right amount of fragrance. If you’re looking for something more classic, you won’t go wrong with their Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea ($5.20).
If you’re up to try something more unique, Go Ba’s signature Old Fashion Millet Milk Smoothie ($6.80) is not to be missed. Made with sesame and almond, this milkshake was extremely creamy and came with a nutty fragrance.
A bestseller is the Dragon Fruit Honey Lemon Juice ($6.20), an aesthetically pleasing beverage comprising fresh purple dragon fruit juice with sweet honey and tangy lemon. Packed with pure dragonfruit juice and pulp, it is a thicc cup of freshness, infused with the flavour and natural sweetness honey.
Alternatively, consider their smoothie range, with dessert-like options such as the Summer Mango Smoothie ($6.80), topped with a generous layer of milk foam for good measure. Â
Another one of my favourites was the Mid-Summer Fruit Full Tea ($6.40), a refreshing drink for any time of the day. This drink was a hearty cup of tea, topped with a medley of fresh fruits for added sweetness.
