Currently, they have branches in Japan, Malaysia, Australia and Korea.

It seems like Chou loves Machi Machi so much, the shop was featured in his "Won't Cry" music video.

And the drinks appear to be popular among his fans that scalpers have charged up to 300 yuan (S$58) for the drinks priced between 13 to 32 yuan (S$2.50 to S$6.20) at the bubble tea shop's pop up in Shanghai, SCMP reports.
Opening in Singapore
According to Ladyironchef, Machi Machi is opening in Singapore at a yet-to-be-revealed location.
The bubble tea shop apparently already has its own Facebook page for its Singapore outlet and are currently hiring staff.
20 drinks are on the menu, although there is no Singapore-exclusive drink at the moment.
Since Chou has made an appearance at its Malaysian and Japanese outlet, there is a chance that he might visit the Singapore outlet when he is in the country too — especially since he has an upcoming concert in Jan.
