Fancy getting your bubble tea served to you by the palm of a grizzly or polar bear?
At this bubble tea shop in Tanjong Pagar Plaza, you can experience exactly that, albeit it's a staff donning a bear-like furry glove that's handing you your drink.
BJ Milkytea is where you can meet these friendly neighbourhood bears -- or rather, their paws -- whenever you place an order with them through scanning a QR code or approaching their service crew.
When your drinks are ready, get them from a bear hand that's either black, brown or white, through a literal hole in the wall.

The concept has drawn a fair amount of attention on social media.

Launched in Singapore last month
Newly launched in Singapore in early July, the bubble tea brand originated from Shanghai, and is founded by Benny Xu, who owns a two-year-old Hong Kong dessert brand called Lucky Dessert in Shanghai, according to PR Newswire.
Named after the initials of his and his wife's name, Jessie, the store features bubble tea that's supposed to offer healthier options, due to his wife's obsession with bubble tea and keeping fit at the same time.
Some of the healthier options include Lucky Bear, which is a blend of aloe vera, tea and sour plum, as well as Fruity Party Tea, which features grapefruit, grape, starfruit and orange.
They are known for their drinks with Taro Q balls as well.
Ongoing promotion
The store has launched four new flavours in tandem with Singapore's National Day.
