It’s not just about the drink; it’s about the immersive journey from flour to boba, a testament to PlayMade’s dedication to freshness and quality.

Beyond Bubble Tea

The brand’s commitment to fresh, preservative-free bobas extends to Malaysia, introducing over 30 unique flavors, including the infamous Spicy Mala and limited seasonal tri-colored bobas.
Pink Cactus
A Malaysian Love Affair Begins
As PlayMade establishes its presence, it brings along its top-selling Pink Cactus boba, renowned for its fruity notes and floral aroma. Making its debut in Malaysia, this flavour adds a unique twist to the menu. Patrons can enjoy it as a boba topping, mix it into the Pink Cactus Smoothie, or savour the exclusive Pink Cactus Soft Serve for a refreshing dessert delight.
