Playmade

PlayMade’s another joint which hasn't bought into the brown sugar hype, although its burnt caramel offerings taste pretty similar. Still, the brand has more unique flavours than most, with a chrysanthemum milk tea ($2.90) and brown rice milk tea ($3.40). It has its own tea farm in Taiwan, and its pearls come in black sesame, burnt caramel, chrysanthemum and pink cactus flavours, the last of which is its signature item. The pink cactus pearls are made with a variety of cactus native to Taiwan. To prepare it for consumption, the cactus is broken and ground into pulp, before being sent to Singapore.
