If you don’t already know, MOS Burger also has MOS Cafe outlets. It’s an entirely different dining experience with plush seating and special items on the menu. I popped by the outlet at Takashimaya today specifically to try their new Bubble Milk Tea drink ($3.50). There’s also a Bubble Fruits Tea ($4.30) that I may buy in future. I actually asked the young lady at the cashier counter if she has tried the bubble milk tea before and if she’d recommend it. According to her, it’s really good. So my expectations were sky high. Unfortunately, you know what they say about the greater your expectations, the greater the disappointment, ya? 
The fish burger and fries were amazing though. After leaving Japan, I thought I’ll never enjoy the MOS Burger experience in Singapore anymore. The reason is simple. Here, it’s all about efficiency. So a lot of items are pre-cooked and may actually have cooled when served to you. In Japan, it’s all prepared on the spot and served steaming hot. The fries may even be served on a plate! At the MOS Cafe outlet today, the food was hot: fries were crispy and the burger was simply delightful.
HOWEVER, I found the milk tea bitter. Yes, bitter.
I’m not sure if they added any sugar to the drink. I couldn’t taste much sweetness. The milk tea, as you can probably tell from the color, is not like that from KOI or Liho. It’s more similar to the milk tea from Tuk Tuk Cha. Very thick and full of flavor. However, the milk tea I had today had turned bitter – perhaps the water used was at too high a temperature or had been steeped for too long so the tannins from the tea had been released. Perhaps this drink should be called Bitter Milk Tea instead. The ‘pearls’ were very soft though, so I’m assuming they’re pretty fresh.
Here’s the menu and pricing:
Would I return to MOS Cafe? I think so. I like when the presentation and temperature of the food is just right. And the environment is great for chilling with friends. I noticed many people staying behind after they were done with their meals because it’s just so comfortable. There are even cushions with the seats!
When you’re doing your Christmas shopping at Takashimaya (toy fair!) or Raffles City, you might want to drop by MOS Cafe. I think it’s definitely worth a visit. Perhaps, you shouldn’t order the Bubble Milk Tea (haha!) but the Iced Peach Tea is something I always order so go for that.
