A new bubble tea player has come to town. MEME Xpress, a popular Malaysian brand known for its fruity yogurt drinks and cute, palm-sized cups, opened its first store in none other than Toa Payoh HDB Hub, home to an already bustling scene of bubble tea shops.

While chain bakeries pop up relentlessly across Singapore, Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheesecake goes against the grain by staying true to their humble roots as a small-scale bakery.
