Back in uni, one of my guilty pleasures was hanging out in Jurong Point to snack on the wealth of food options there, including KOI’s Earl Grey Milk Tea and Garrett’s CheeseCorn popcorn.

Before you take the plunge and spring to your nearest KOI store, do note that the drink is only available at 12 outlets. They are:
As of writing, there’s no end date to the availability of the Pop Pop Tea Latte. But conventional wisdom dictates that queues for new bubble tea products will be insane, so get your popcorn x milk tea fix ASAP before news get round!
