Just when you thought bubble tea trends were calming down… here comes Abalone Milk Tea with popcorn and boba — and yes, it’s real. Well… sort of.
Over at Thong Cha+ in Malaysia, they’ve launched a drink that looks like it belongs at a CNY reunion dinner. Sitting inside your milk tea? A glossy “abalone”.
Before you imagine seafood swimming in brown sugar syrup — relax.
The abalone is actually a Glutinous Pu Er Tea-infused Abalone Jelly. It’s crafted to look like the real thing, but it’s soft, chewy jelly with subtle earthy Pu Er tea notes. No seafood. No briny surprises. (And honestly… we wouldn’t want actual abalone in milk tea anyway 😅)

What you’re really getting for RM17.90:
• Creamy milk tea base
• Chewy boba pearls
• Crunchy popcorn topping
• Insta-worthy abalone-shaped tea jelly
Texture-wise, it’s fun. Visually, it’s dramatic. And for under RM20, you’re basically paying for the drink + the conversation starter + the Instagram or TikTok content.
Let’s be real — this isn’t just about taste. It’s about attention. It’s about ordering it, placing it on the table, and watching your friends zoom in asking, “Eh… is that real abalone or not?”
Cheeky? Yes.
Creative? Definitely.
Worth trying once for the story? Confirm.
If you’re heading to Malaysia anytime soon, this is one of those “must try before it disappears” novelty drinks.
