We all get a little crazy when it comes to bubble tea, and boy has it been a rollercoaster ride so far. When our country’s tighter circuit breakers extended to affect bubble tea shops, some of us (irresponsibly) did a mad rush to order it before the cut-off time; got crestfallen over having to go ‘cold turkey’ over the next couple of days; rejoiced when we discovered bubble tea alternatives; or tried to frantically create our own pearls in our kitchens.
Finally, now in its late-stage evolution, we can in fact enjoy bubble tea when we order them from the right F&B outlets. A couple of restaurants have paired with the most popular bubble tea brands, so that both can mutually benefit from Singaporeans’ obsession — that’s just being smart. From healthy grain bowls, traditional bak kut teh, or Western-style burgers, here are some ways you can order your bubble tea, with a side serving of your main meal.
KOI x Grain
Grain itself is an interesting concept for their meal plans and wholesome fare, with a focus on delivering the right balance of protein, carbs and healthy fats in each of their grain bowls, freshly cooked and crafted by top chefs. The usual favourites such as Hot Torched Sous Vide Salmon appear on their menu, but you’ve also got the more innovative options of Caramelised Beef Char Siew and Basil Thunder Tea Rice to choose from — now, just add KOI.
Popular KOI drinks such as the Golden Bubble Milk Tea, Yakult Green Tea, and more can be ordered now via Grain’s website or on GrabFood, though there is a limited supply daily. For the most likely chances of securing your order, follow their IG stories for stock updates from 11AM each day.
For direct orders via Grain, islandwide delivery available, with a min. order of $10. Delivery fees vary by location, starting from $4.
To order:
– on Grain’s website
– from Grain on GrabFood
– islandwide delivery with min. $10 (from $4 for delivery fee)
More info at Grain and KOI‘s Instagram pages.
CHICHA Sanchen x Kemono
No one can resist fried chicken, but how sustainable can that daily diet be? Kemono presents a healthier alternative with their Japanese roasted chicken, a guilt-free pleasure that’s cooked using a proprietary traditional slow roasting technique, one which gives us crispy skin yet juicy chicken flesh that’s still flavourful and tender. I ordered this over the weekend and can vouch for that!
The best part is, you can now order it with CHICHA San Chen (吃茶三千) — also my current favourite bubble tea brand! The Taiwanese brand specialises in high-quality freshly brewed teas, where you can taste that subtle aroma of their tea roasts; popular orders include Dong Ding Oolong as well as their Bubble Milk Tea, made with their signature Black Tea.
Islandwide delivery available, while a $5.90 delivery fee applies. Do give at least 90 mins for delivery, so it’s best to order in advance.
To order:
– on kemono’s website
– whatsapp 8600 5997
– islandwide delivery ($5.90 delivery fee)

MONGA x Founder Bak Kut Teh
Founder Bak Kut Teh is now collaborating with Monga Taiwanese Fried Chicken to offer Monga’s Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea. It makes for quite an unusual pairing, but we’ll take it. Now, local bak kut teh F&B establishment has gained a good reputation and following for their enduring pork rib soup recipe, with many touting it as the best in Singapore.
That comforting meal can now be paired with Monga’s Brown Sugar Oolong Bubble Milk Tea. For direct orders via Whatsapp, you can enjoy free islandwide delivery when you hit a min. purchase of $30. Limited to 2 sets per order, so a total of 4 Bubble Milk Teas only.

Gong Cha: Wolf Burgers, Sushi Express, COLLIN’S
Gong Cha is pairing up with a few F&B outlets for this bubble tea initiative — they’ve been steadily uploading teaser announcements on their Instagram page, though eagle-eyed netizens have likewise responded by tagging Gong Cha’s F&B collaborators, one of which happens to be Wolf Burgers, which I personally love for their hearty, flavourful gourmet burgers.
