Hired or Fired: Bubble Tearista For A Day

Bubble tea is practically like water for millennials, with new chains popping up at every corner. But do you know what goes on behind that cup of brown sugar pearl fresh milk you chug nearly thrice a week?
On this episode of Hired or Fired, Xenia takes on the role of a bubble tearista at homegrown bubble tea brand LiHO. Will she be able to replicate the drinks accurately?

Kudos to the Season 1 of Hired or Fired ! As I'm a military fan, I certainly wish to see Xenia more in the army, navy & air force challenges! Can't wait to see the next series......

[@sharmainelim2348]

I love this I love bubble tea

[@zhiyutam1962]

Omgggggg my cravings for bubble tea ahhhhhhhh

[@Wuyh99]

Actually tbh like not much ppl repeat order.then change like nvr rlly say

[@alicezhu3966]

Just saying, the secret ingredient for the avocado drink is probably gula Melaka. You can actually find the drink in many food republics in Singapore and although it doesn’t taste exactly the same, it tastes pretty similar and is probably much healthier!

[@Zepherlix]

I would totally go to her liho shop even though she would probable mess up my order

[@beepbloopbeepbloop]

my god the b99 edit legit smacked me in the face with a wave of nostalgia

[@isaackith9472]

Is that place king Albert Park shopping centre?

[@Andy1076]

I'd be sooo lost on what to punch into the til, never mind trying to remember the combination lol!

[@huiwen7225]

[@JL..]

I was hoping for you to jokingly shake that brown sugar pearl fresh milk an additional 9th time for fun loool

[@turner-ing]
