A tipsy spin on the bubble tea craze

WHEN it comes to beverage fads and unexpected flavour combinations, the realm of bubble tea can more than hold its own against that of cocktails. Laid-back Robertson Quay bar The 3 Peas offers concoctions for those who want the best of both worlds.

"Back then there was the bubble tea craze, so when we decided to create something different, we thought: why not alcoholic bubble tea?" says Zheng Pan, one of three co-founders.

While bubble tea brand HEYTEA offers boozy brews at its Clarke Quay outlet, The 3 Peas comes at this from the other direction, with its origins in the cocktail rather than tea scene.
