Bubble tea enthusiasts rejoice! Silk, the innovative milk tea brand from Hong Kong, has officially opened its first international outlet at Orchard Gateway as of October 25, 2024. Launched in September 2022, Silk aims to modernize and popularize the rich tradition of Hong Kong milk tea, making it more accessible and inviting for a new generation of tea lovers.
The name “Silk” pays homage to the silk stockings traditionally used in the preparation of classic Hong Kong milk tea, ensuring that every cup is crafted from a cherished 50-year-old recipe.
Located at Orchard Gateway’s B2 level, the outlet combines a chic black and white minimalist interior with vibrant iridescent details, creating an inviting atmosphere for customers to enjoy their drinks.
Must-Try Drinks
At Silk, the signature drink to indulge in is the Smooth King (S$7.50). This delicious concoction features the brand’s unique tea blend, a rich cheese foam, honeycomb, and black boba. With its delightful balance of flavors, the Smooth King lives up to its name—smooth, indulgent, and irresistibly rich, yet not overly sweet. Health-conscious drinkers might want to opt for a lower sugar level (30%) to enjoy its flavors without the guilt.
Another standout is the Yuen-Yueng Reimagined (S$8.90), a contemporary take on a local favorite. This visually striking drink combines Silk’s signature milk tea and black coffee, topped with the velvety cheese Cloud and a toasted crème brûlée. Portion control enthusiasts will appreciate that this drink comes in a smaller size and also includes unlimited cheese foam top-ups for 30 minutes after purchase.
Silk’s menu doesn’t stop there! The Milky Series (from S$6) offers pure milk drinks with exciting flavors such as boba, melon, mango, and matcha. For a uniquely refreshing experience, try the Smooth Queen (S$6.80), made with Hong Kong-style lemon tea, pandan, calamansi, and mint—perfect for Singapore’s warm climate.
Silk is also thrilled to announce a fun promotional offer: free cheese foam top-ups for 30 minutes following your initial purchase, allowing customers to savor every sip of their drinks with this rich, savory topping.
