Final Thoughts
LiHO might not be as globally recognized as some of the other bubble tea giants, but it has firmly planted itself as a local favorite in Singapore and Malaysia.
Interestingly, when I first heard of LiHO, it was all about their cheese foam teas. Little did I realize that their best sellers were in fact not cheese teas. How about that? Little did I realize that their best-sellers weren’t even cheese teas! After some research, I’m excited to try a few from this list and see if my perspective on the brand changes.
Tried something off the menu at LiHO that you loved?
Let me know — I’m always up for discovering new drinks!
