First bubble tea shop
The first bubble tea shop was Bubble Tea Garden in Marina Square.
Bubble Tea Garden, in particular, served flavours such as Pearl Red Bubble Tea, Yam Shake, Honey Egg Yolk, Whisky Red Tea and Honey Peppermint.
The majority of the clientele were students, largely Chinese-speaking and who patronise the cafe in groups.
This was a time before social media and the message board put up in the shop for customers to express their thoughts and communicate with one another was novelty.
Took another nine years to become popular
However, it was only in 2001 that bubble tea became phenomenally popular.
Long queues formed at bubble tea shops that only served takeaway bubble tea. They were all over housing estates in Singapore.
By 2002, the number of bubble tea shops grew to at least 5,000.
This led to a surplus of bubble tea retailers.
