Let’s just admit one thing - we all love our teh tarik! ? This local favourite drink has long been part of our history and a hybrid culture that puts together Chinese tea leaves and Indian chai. And the best part is that you can have it hot or cold and can be enjoyed any time of the day.

The National Day is 2 weeks away from now and we’re already seeing F&B businesses paying homage to our local cuisine, including teh tarik! Believe it or not, there’s actually more ways to enjoy our favourite drink ?:
1. Teh Tarik Pie
It looks like Burger King Singapore has also jumped on the bandwagon and introduce its own locally-inspired menu, ranging from Rendang Burger to Hainanese Chicken Burger and the much raved about Teh Tarik Pie! ?

This limited edition pie is like your typical apple pie, except that it comes with thick, gooey caramel-coloured filling infused with our favourite Teh Tarik flavour. Priced at SGD1 each, it’s only available at selected outlets for the time being.
