What�??s chewy, sweet and bound to turn any Singaporean�??s frown upside down? If you guessed bubble tea, you are absolutely right! Regardless of the health concerns, bubble tea has been and will always be the go-to drink for the majority of Singaporeans.
At Partipost, we take our bubble tea fix very seriously. That is why we were THRILLED to attend the media event hosted by The Bubble Tea Factory (TBTF)! If you�??re still undecided on attending Singapore�??s first ever bubble tea-themed event at *SCAPE which runs daily from now till 18 December 2019, perhaps this article is the push you needed all along. Without further ado, here�??s what you can expect!
First off, Registration
As you make your way to *SCAPE Underground from the entrance near McDonald�??s, you�??ll find that the sheltered walkway is decked in a myriad of pastel colors, making for a Insta-worthy time-lapse video.
Upon entering The Bubble Tea Factory, register with the friendly staff to receive a Boba booster pack containing a map and some game cards.
To ensure a great experience for everyone, attendees will be given a queue number and will enter in batches. While waiting for your turn, have a look at their range of merchandise created specially for the event. My personal favorite has got to be the Bubble Tea Tumbler aka Bumbler because you can do your part in reducing plastic waste, without reducing your boba intake! *wink*
Welcome to the Boba-Verse
Alas, your long-awaited bubble tea journey begins! Bubbly employees will introduce you to their world at The Factory, where a large machine works 24/7 to produce taro pearls. This marks the start of your TBTF documentation on IG story!
As you walk through the Enchanted Forest which is decorated with lights to mimic trees and little stars on the ceiling, you�??ll find yourself at the entrance of Blue Coral Utapioca.
This room is every pastel lover�??s dream come true. The perfect blend of white, blue, green, pink and purple makes for the perfect IG shot. Escape reali-tea and be faced with inverted cups of bubble tea made for giants. I wouldn�??t be surprised if the cups are as tall as Yao Ming!
The unspeakable Secret
Let the fun begin in 3...2.. Crawl through the tunnel and you�??ll find yourself at the Wrap Zone with strings of metallic ball beads hanging from the ceiling. There�??s a photo spot here too!

To make your visit an unforgettable one, TBTF has a surprise in store for you - speakeasy style. Keep your eyes peeled or you�??ll regret it! Before embarking on your quest for the mystery room, make it past the green curtain and you�??ll arrive at my all-time favorite room - Boba Ballin�??! It is one of the hot spots to take photos and mirrors a luxurious washroom with a golden bathtub and toilet bowl filled with Boba Bae currency. If you don�??t have the money and space to literally make it rain money, this is it, my friend.
Regardless of your pose, your photo is guaranteed to turn out well because of the A interior. Tip: Get a slow-motion video of yourself splashing the cash and be blown away by your masterpiece.
Once that�??s done, look around the room for your entrance to the Secret room! We aren�??t giving any spoilers but here�??s what you�??ll be rewarded with:
