[UPDATED, April 24, 2020]
The announcement that bubble tea, confectionaries and dessert shops will no longer be allowed to open from April 22 caused a frenzy amongst Singaporeans.
Bubble tea shops islandwide saw long queues form late into the night on April 21 and delivery apps were overwhelmed with a surge in orders as Singaporeans did everything they could to get their last cup of bubble tea for now.
The good news, though, for those of us who consider bubble tea to be an essential good in our lives, is that you are still able to get bubble tea as stalls who operate at hawker centres, coffee shops and food courts will still be open.
