Handmade Happiness in Paya Lebar: Your Guide to PlayMade at PLQ Mall
Handmade Boba, Paya Lebar Style
If you’ve been strolling through PLQ Mall and caught a whiff of freshly brewed tea and toasted pearls, chances are you’ve walked past PlayMade. This Taiwanese bubble tea brand, which first launched in Tainan back in 2017, has built a loyal following across Singapore for one simple reason: everything is made by hand, in-store, with no preservatives or artificial additives. That means bouncier pearls, fresher tea bases, and a cup of boba that actually tastes like it was made minutes ago — because it was.
The PLQ Mall outlet sits conveniently at Basement 2, just a short walk from Paya Lebar MRT Interchange, making it an easy pit stop whether you’re heading to work, catching a movie, or simply craving something sweet after lunch.
What’s New: Seasonal Drops & Ongoing Promotions
PlayMade keeps its menu exciting with regular seasonal launches and app-exclusive deals. Here’s what’s currently brewing:
Brown Rice Sencha Series — launched from 17 June 2026, this new lineup blends roasted Japanese brown rice with sencha green tea for a warm, nutty, and soothing sip, available in both classic tea and milk tea versions at participating outlets.
Credit Top-Up Giveaway — from now till 19 July 2026, topping up $20 or more on the PlayMade app automatically enters you into a weekly draw to win a full week of free bubble tea.
SAFRA Members’ Perk — SAFRA members enjoy 5% off food and drinks when ordering via the PlayMade app.
Pro Tip: Always check the Latest Happenings page and PlayMade’s Instagram before you go — seasonal series and app-only promo codes tend to rotate quickly and are usually announced there first.
Signature Sips to Try at PLQ Mall
New to PlayMade or just deciding what to order? Their Chrysanthemum Milk Tea is the brand’s number one bestseller — a floral, soothing milk tea that’s far less common than your average Taiwanese milk tea. The classic Taiwan Milk Tea is another crowd favourite, striking a rich balance between strong brewed tea and creamy milk. For something lighter, the rotating Fresh Fruit Series and seasonal launches (like the Brown Rice Sencha or the earlier Watermelon Series) are worth trying while stocks last, and hand-made pearls can be added to nearly any drink on the menu for that signature chewy bite.
