Food unites people. There’s no denying to this fact especially when you’re a Malaysian or have been residing here far too long that you became one of us, gastronomically . We Malaysians fiercely protect our national pride which were made pretty apparent during the rendang and chicken rice episodes.
But what about other Malaysian favourites?
Ask any 20-something on the street and 2 things will come up like a broken record- coffee (caffeine) & bubble tea (tapioca pearls). These 2 were introduced to our food culture a couple years back but instead of fading away, it grew stronger because everyone is simply addicted to them.
The founders behind the award winning cafe Garage 51, Kar Wai and Kar Heng noticed this and has been secretly brewing something behind the scene and last October sees them introducing the First Cold Brew Coffee Boba in Malaysia- Sama-sama Boba!
Here’s why you need to try Sama-sama Boba @ Garage 51!
1. They are the first of its kind in Malaysia

As how the #bosses have perfectly worded it, Sama-sama Boba is the reimagined version of their in-house cold brew. Being typical Malaysians, if you haven’t try out the firsts of everything new in town especially when it’s Malaysian made, you’re just not Malaysian enough lah.
2. They ain’t serving em’ unless they nailed it

According to our trusty source, the masterminds behind Sama-sama Boba have been working on this bad boy for awhile now. They did many rounds of blind tasting to perfect the recipe, tasted different tapioca pearls/ boba and cooked it differently. Only the best from Garage 51 as always!
3. A modern twist of East meets West in a cup

During our formative years watching TV, we learnt that ang moh drinks coffee, while Asian ah ma & ah kong drinks kopi-o, whereas bubble tea is something that originates from Asia. So, if you want to feel cultured and oriental at the same time, Sama-sama Boba is the answer. You’re welcome! (pun intended)
4. They are picture perfect!
