Singaporeans are apparently very passionate about two things — brown sugar bubble milk and White Rabbit, the chewy Shanghai-made milk candy wrapped in a translucent layer of edible rice paper.

Unsurprisingly, White Rabbit has burrowed its way into every dessert imaginable on this island. This includes cakes and soft serve (check out 8days.sg’s recipe for making your own White Rabbit ice cream here).

And now, the inevitable has happened: homegrown bubble tea pop-up stall Take A Bite is offering a White Rabbit Drink that’s basically bubble milk mixed with melted-down pieces of the iconic candy and brown sugar pearls. The makeshift stall is currently located at a pasar malam set up at the large field beside Jurong East MRT station, till September 30.

On their Instagram page, Take A Bite claims to serve the “first White Rabbit drink in SG”, though last month, local bingsu shop Unice in Yishun also introduced a Pearly White Rabbit Candy Smoothie that went viral.

1 of 2 What is this?!

Take A Bite’s staff member tells us the drink contains “milk and White Rabbit candy”. You can either order your drink without pearls ($3.90 for Regular/ $4.90 for Large) or add brown sugar pearls ($4.50 for Regular/ $5.50 for Large).

  • 2 of 2 Taste Test

    We got a regular-sized cup with brown sugar pearls to try. Our first few sips taste strongly of White Rabbit’s distinctively artificial vanilla flavour, and we reckon its sweetness level is equivalent to about 70% at an average bubble tea chain shop. It lives up to its name taste-wise, but is unfortunately too cloying for us to consider making this a repeat order. The accompanying brown sugar pearls, while boasting sultry caramelly fragrance, are undercooked and too hard. Our verdict: it’s a drink you’d buy once for the ’gram but probably won’t get hooked on.

    Take A Bite’s stalls are at the pasar malam beside Jurong East MRT station daily till September 30, and the Bayfront Pop-Up Market, Bayfront Plaza, every Fri 5pm-9pm; every Sat & Sun 11am-9pm till September 15​​​​​​​. www.facebook.com/pg/takeabitesg.
