Koi Cafe

One of the most popular bubble tea or boba chains from Taiwan. They are know as wu shi Lan in taiwan.
When this outlet was first launched, there was always a long line of customers waiting in line for a cup of bubble tea from koi. It is definitely a tad more expensive than the local bubble tea brands, but I would say it is worth it for the quality of the drink.

The location is convenient. It is just across from the bus interchange and near both the community club and library.
The drinks are done the same as with any other Koi outlets. The service is friendly and efficient. The wait is manageable even when there are several people ahead. I never have to wait longer than 10 minutes for my order when there are 4 – 7 people before me.
Get the yakult green tea. It is really good. Or if you want the familiar, then go with the golden bubble (milk tea with pearls). You can also choose other topping like ai-​yu jelly or aloe vera.

If you haven’t figured out why Koi is called Koi, tilt your head to the right the next time you see its logo, the word Koi is designed to resemble the Chinese character ‘Dou’, which represents beans, as in coffee beans. I like a name that’s creative and well-​thought out.
That said, WHY STILL GOT LONG QUEUE?! Seems like this fad will never end. The queues at this Koi outlet can battle that of the first franchised store at Toa Payoh. Oh yah, by the way the brand’s from Taiwan, which is why everyone loves it and the taste is more authentic.
The taste of the tea is smoother and more flavourful, there’s none of that artificial flavour or worse — powdery residue nonsense from some of the chains out there, it tastes of brewed tea. But what really stands out is the pearl — the make-​or-​break of bubble teas. The ones at Koi are chewy and consistent.
