The walk home from the ever familiar MRT Station (10 years of alighting/boarding from the same station) is coupled by the walk down the escalator, the presence of the MacDonalds Desert Stand, the rush towards the Desert Stand and then walking away from the Desert Stand.
Why? You may ask, the MacDonalds Desert Stand has one of the most deliciously cheaper deserts ever. There's the McFlurry when you're feeling richer, there's Milkshakes, there's Sundaes and all sorts of stuff. And there's the bargain huntinged 50cents Vanilla Cone!
Haha. Because in suburban Singapore, we drink Bubble Tea! Sweet Talk, one of Singapore's most prominent Bubble Tea retailers opened their new franchise about a month ago at Admiralty Station.
I have never really been a mad dog for Bubble Tea. Part of the reason was that when it first came out, it was so exorbitantly expensive. I remembered it was around S$2.50 a cup? And you needed $0.30 more for mere pearls. Distraught! Yet they were the occasional treat my mom gave me.
Now they come as low as a buck a cup. Sweet Talk's cost slightly more at S$1.20. The one at Admiralty serves decently enjoyable pearls- not too chewy, not too soft. I remember the one at Yishun (which closed down), the pearls were so soft! And like you just had to use the top of your mouth and your tongue to gently squish it and it was splat all over.
My favorite concoction is weirdly, Passionfruit Milk Tea. The taste of that syrup just seems to whisk into the Milk Tea so well. At least that's how it goes on my taste buds :)
So after my love continuous ordering of Kopi Beng (See-Han-influenced) and then Kopi See Siew Tai (Ker-influenced), the new beverage to stay is Passion Fruit Milk Tea!

Dessert darling.
