After opening its first outlet at Ion Orchard last August, Joy Luck Teahouse has been on an expansion frenzy. Conceptualised by ex-TVB producer Robert Chua, the Hong Kong-style takeaway cha chaan teng chain is popular for its egg tarts, bolo buns and milk tea, which are made with recipes from famed HK eateries like Hoover Cake Shop and Kam Kee Cafe.
Come March 31, it will launch a beverage-centric offshoot concept at Funan called Joy Luck Yum Sing, which sells “Hong Kong-style bubble tea” like nai cha with pearls and egg tarts.
The new joint will also serve a trio of fizzy drinks with a mix of lychee-flavoured popping pearls and seaweed jelly pearls. The latter is said to be lower in calories than traditional tapioca pearls, with a firmer texture.
Check out the drinks below:
The classic coffee-and-tea yin yang, plus Milo.
Kam Kee Cafe’s HK-style milk tea (Dicky Cheung is said to be a fan) with brown sugar pearls.
Also on the menu: Joy Luck Teahouse’s flaky and shortcrust egg tarts, plus a gold-dusted version.
Joy Luck Yum Sing opens March 31, 2021 at #B2-K10 Funan, 107 North Bridge Rd, S179105. Open daily 9am-10pm. www.joyluckteahouse.com.
