Kebuke opens in Singapore with famous Taiwanese bubble tea
Taste Orchard appears to be an up-and-coming food destination, with Warabimochi Kamakura, BHC Chicken, and now Kebuke setting up shop there. The latter, a famous Taiwanese bubble tea chain, is the newest addition to the mall.
If the name sounds familiar, that’s because the brand has over 200 stores in Taiwan! This opening marks their first venture into the Singaporean market.
There’s also a casual dine-in space with power plugs for you to unwind and enjoy your bubble tea.
A brand representative tells us that the menu here is around 80% similar to the Taiwanese outlets. Some ingredients are different too; for example, the black tea used in this SG outpost is sourced from Sri Lanka instead of Taiwan.
Prices seem fairly affordable, especially for a dine-in cafe in town. You’re paying $2.90 for a medium cup of Signature Black Tea, Peach Flavour Black Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, and Jade Oolong Tea.
This drink is labelled Nutri-Grade C.
Order the Honey Peach Black Tea with Fresh Lemon ($4) for a refreshing beverage on a hot afternoon. Here, you get fragrant peach-flavoured tea paired with slices of lemon and sweet honey.
They also have a special Proton Fruit Tea range, where fresh fruit is frozen into ice cubes, and then added to your drink. This results in a more intense, concentrated flavour that doesn’t dilute even when the ice melts!
This drink is labelled Nutri-Grade C.
The Jasmine Green Tea Latte with Proton Strawberry ($6) is another delicious pick on a hot day. This creamy yet light tea latte with the sweet strawberry cubes is a match made in heaven.
This drink is labelled Nutri-Grade C.
If milk tea is your go-to bubble tea order, give their Biscuit Black Tea Latte ($5) a shot. This was my favourite drink out of the three; here you get strong black tea mixed with milk, between layers of crunchy Biscoff AKA cookie butter.
Kebuke is tucked at the end of Taste Orchard, a three-minute walk from Somerset MRT Station.
