Tiger Sugar Review: OG Brown Sugar Fresh Milk from Taiwan Opens At City Hall

The Tiger Sugar craze began when they first opened in Taichung just last November. Thankfully, the famous brown sugar drink made their way to Singapore before I caved in and acquired a plane ticket to them.

OG Brown Sugar Fresh Milk from Taiwan Opens At City Hall Drinks at Tiger Sugar With bated breath, I received my Brown Sugar Boba + Pearl with Cream Mousse ($5.30) . It was oddly satisfying as the cup was cold on top but warm at the bottom – one of the reasons their brown sugar boba and pearls are so popular.

This concoction comprises a layer of brown sugar syrup followed by large bobas, mini pearls, ice cubes, fresh milk, and cream mousse. Snap a quick picture of that beautiful emblematic pattern on the sides of the cup before it gets mixed.

Just like fingerprints or the stripes on a tiger, no two Tiger Sugars have the same drizzle. The people behind the drink have done their R&D, and recommend giving the drink 15 shakes before stabbing your straw straight down into the creamy goodness.

This combination, when paired with the clean yet rich flavour of cream and milk, was quite simply glorious. Those who want a lighter taste can order either the Brown Sugar Boba Milk ($5.30) or Brown Sugar Pearl Milk ($5.30) , which comes without a dollop of premium cream mousse atop.

I highly discourage this as it’s the thick cream which gives the drink a savoury, and close to cheesy taste. Leave it to the professionals to present the combination they deem best.

If you’re looking to have your daily dose of caffeine, be sure to also try out other drinks on the menu such as Brown Sugar Green Tea with Boba ($3.90) and Black Tea Latte ($4.30) . Ambience at Tiger Sugar The outlet at Capitol Piazza is one of their biggest ones yet.

Featuring more than just a takeaway counter, there are even photo walls to take a quick boomerang or two before the signature tiger stripes disappear into the milky abyss. The verdict I’ve always wondered how people can actually queue more than 30 minutes for bubble tea, but after trying Tiger Sugar’s signatures, I would gladly stand in line for more fresh milk and boba.
