Effie of Momentea Bingsu at Castle Plaza has long been a fan of bubble tea, and she’s even more in love with the next great trend in sweet drinks you can eat - bingsu. Effie says bingsu resembles shredded ice made with milk, with a distinctive “dreamy” texture.

“It’s softer than ice cream and creamier than marshmallows. It’s an experience you have to taste for yourself,” Effie says.

Momentea Bingsu offers customisable bubble tea and bingsu options, allowing customers to craft their own drinks from the base to the toppings. “Many of our loyal customers visit us daily just to curate their perfect daily special,” Effie tells us, recalling a family who came in every day the very first week the shop opened.

“Their enthusiasm was infectious, their loyalty unwavering,” she says. “They weren't just customers; they were family. With each visit, they brought an extra dose of joy into our day. Here's to the memory-makers, the bubble tea aficionados, and the ones who remind us why we're here. Cheers to the family who made our corner of the world a little sweeter, one sip at a time!”

Away from her flavour-packed workplace, Effie finds joy and inspiration with a paintbrush in her hand. “I've been passionate about painting since I was little,” she says. “It's a hobby that allows me to express my creativity and emotions through vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes. Whether I'm capturing the beauty of nature or depicting scenes from my imagination, painting provides me with a therapeutic escape and a sense of fulfillment like no other.”

It’s almost unfair to ask Effie to pick a favourite from the Momentea Bingsu range, although she admits strawberries and milk is a combination she loves in both bubble tea and bingsu, and if she could eat one thing every day it would be boba pearls because they are so “delightfully chewy” and, like all their products, made fresh in store every morning. But there’s more. Brown sugar milk tea is a customer favourite, and Effie claims their chestnut boba, bursting with chestnut flavour and juice is “the future of boba”.

Effie’s zest for her job and customers is infectious, and it’s no wonder that, as she says, it's the perfect blend of delicious drinks and exceptional customer care that keeps our customers returning time and time again.”
