[CLOSED] Moocha

🍠 fragrant much! The taro Milk was way better than the oolong pudding milk tea. We had it without sugar - somehow the yammy fragrance was a lot more pronounced this way! It wasn’t bland at all!

Located in a rather secluded corner of the HDB enclave, this place serves decent teas. Wouldn’t say it’s exceptional - tastes like any other oolong milk tea tbh. I like the combi with pudding - it gives a nice texture in the mouth. The consistency of the pudding was just nice - not too hard (like nate de coco), not too soft (like soya beancurd) Great deal with Burpple beyond!

1-for-1 with #burpplebeyond!

Hidden at Blk 125 Bukit Merah Lane which occupies just half shop space, Moocha can be described as a small and simple bubble tea shop with no fanciful interior design, in fact there’s only a sign hanging on the wall written Moocha in Chinese calligraphy.

On a rainy afternoon, I asked for a hot Pi Pa Gao Oolong Tea with an additional white pearls topping. The familiar cooling minty flavour was soothing to the throat but didn’t quite blend well with oolong tea which was bitter. The white pearls were a disappointment as they just felt like some soggy starchy balls.

What came as a shock was the double pearls brown sugar milk tea; I mean, brown sugar milk tea these days meant the brown sugar streaks on the wall of the cup but I guess it’s entirely different here. It appeared as a cup of normal milk tea but the taste of brown sugar was evident. Good save there, though aesthetically suspicious. Again the double pearls had white pearls with a mix of the black ones, which were way better in terms of chewiness though tended to the firmer side.

Despite these shortcomings, I would still give Moocha's bubble tea a shot if I could get half off with Burpple Beyond's 1-for-1 again. They have a good variety of flavours too - the brown sugar ones which are so in right now, & even pi pa gao bubble tea 😂 So novel!

Interesting to note that if you're redeeming 1 Burpple Beyond deal here, only 1 person needs to be present (different from the 2 required for usual redemption of other deals). But if you redeem >1 deal, the usual rules apply.

I don't suppose Moocha gets much footfall traffic, being kind of in the middle of nowhere. Nonetheless, I happened to be in the area & decided to check it out.

Bought a Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea 铁观音奶茶 & Pu'er Milk Tea 普洱奶茶 ($3.00 nett each + $0.50 nett for pearls). These are very milky milk teas, & I do wish the tea flavours were stronger. I drink my bubble teas with 0% sugar, btw.

The pearls are also very, very firm. I would've liked them slightly softer, but I could live with this.
