LiHO TEA @ Clementi Mall is an outlet of the homegrown Singapore bubble tea chain best known for its cheese teas, at kiosk B1-K6 on the basement level of Clementi Mall on Commonwealth Avenue West, holding a 4.0 Google rating and posting updates on Facebook. A good bubble tea counter stands or falls on its tea, so it is worth asking whether the brew is fresh leaves or syrup and powder. Sugar and ice can usually be adjusted in steps; try 25 or 50 per cent before defaulting to full. Pearls are best within a few hours of cooking, while still chewy, and cheese foam, though it sounds odd, is salty-sweet and suits plain black or green tea. Expect a queue at lunchtime and after school, when the interchange next door empties out. For a cup before the train home, this basement counter sits a minute from Clementi MRT.
