Gong Cha Singapore will be launching an airport terminal-themed store, named "Gong Cha Terminal" at its SingPost Centre outlet come Apr. 10, 2021.

Gong Cha Terminal will introduce eight new bubble tea drinks, inspired by destinations such as Singapore, Japan and Mexico.

The store has been designed to look similar to an airport terminal departure hall, complete with a check-in counter, boarding gate, and window seat view.

Taste test

The eight drinks are inspired by flavours associated with each country.

We opted for a "safe" option (Daebak Banana Drink from Korea) and a slightly more adventurous option (Mangonada Drink from Mexico).

Daebak Banana Drink (S$5.80)

The Daebak Banana Drink is a chocolate banana drink made of a layer of creamy milk foam, banana milk and chocolate drizzle.

The closest thing would would be a thick banana milkshake, but sweeter.

Unfortunately, we couldn't detect the chocolate in it, but it was good enough that I would order it again if I needed a sugary pick-me-up.

Mangonada Drink (S$5.80)

A drink of tangy mango puree, green tea, soda water and a "healthy dose of heat and spice" requires some daring tastebuds.

You can get it in either mild, spicy and hot. We opted for spicy.

It was like an incredibly sour soda... but spicy.

The lingering sour taste was hard to get off the tongue, and for less well-travelled (ahem us), it can be quite an acquired taste.
