Alot of people is keeping away from taiwanese food/drinks due to DEHP, teas from Melamine Cup etc
is chat time really doing well or what? alot of competitor like yippe cup etc, giving buy 1 free 1 promo also not many people buying with the same price as chat time and more variety over 90++ different flavour of bubble tea/pearls etc
Probably in malls/shopping mall is good business, but the rental is expensive but not for shops outlet.
Bubble tea/pearls selling at price rm5.90 is quite expensive price, cost only around rm1 (put some pearls, ais,tea etc) and buy 1 free 1 also around rm2.50 each also no people. with the price rather go for star buck with nice environment and wifi ready
pasar malam/ hawker stall sellling around rm2.20 each. its a big risky business.
Not many flavour bubble tea bcos of the oolong tea smell and also not good for health, sweet and can have diabetes or heart disease etc if drink too much. And also taiwanese products due to DEHP etc. bubble tea contains hazardous ingredient.
Same thing in taiwan is only below NT$35-40 about RM3.50-4.00, but here is 5.90 each
