Seriously, what’s with all these colour-changing “Galaxy Drinks”? (Read: Galaxy Cakes & Desserts In Singapore)
These midnight blue coloured beverages must have been sold in Thailand for the longest time, but local customers seem to be fascinated enough to get different cafés churning up these drinks.
Blue for the moment, purple the next.
Is that MAGIC?
Here’s the science of it all, even though it is more boring than what you would have expected.
The butterfly pea flower, frequently used for teas and colourings for cakes, changes colour when in contact with substances of higher acidity.
Add water and it turns into a mysterious cobalt blue. Squeeze in lemon juice, and it gets transformed into a royal purple colour.
I read somewhere that the butterfly pea tea is full of antioxidants. Woohoo. (When are our bubble tea shops starting to sell this at exorbitant prices?)
D’Good Café (Ngee Ann City)
There was this $15 ($15!) Spiral Galaxy drink. The mocktail is a concoction of green tea and grape juice with glitters. Maybe it will take you to space.
We all thought that the beverage tasted like… Pokka Green Tea! Em, in a good way, I suppose.

Hvala Waffle Bar (313@Somerset)
This is officially Hvala’s first drink. I must say that their Elderflower Lemonade is quite chio.
This beverage is created with their partners in Hvala Cambodia, made with elderflower, wild blossom honey, a dash of butterfly pea flower tea, and a squeeze of lemon.

Joe and Dough (Various outlets)
Joe and Dough calls theirs the “Sapphire Elixir Cha Cooler”. Win already.
A supposed “mystical blend” of blue butterfly pea flower tea and passionfruit, that changes colour upon addition of the lime juice potion.
Drink up and you’ll possess ‘superhuman abilities’ beyond your wildest dreams. Like real.
Cheng’s Gourmet Food Bar (28 Clementi Road)
A refreshing Ultraviolet Floral Cooler ($6.20). Squeezing lemon over would change the acidity level of the drink, from blue to purple. Cheng’s Gourmet Food Bar (Clementi Road)

The Bakery Chef (161 Bukit Merah Central)
Their Galaxy drinks is available at $8.80 (actually, I like how they used the word “only $8.80)) which has two options of blue Chai or hibiscus.
Pair it up with a Chocolate Guanaja cake. The Bakery Chef (Bt Merah)
Cha Thai (Telok Ayer)
Something else other than their Thai Iced Milk.
An Iced Butterfly Pea Juice ($3.90) which is also a refreshing thirst quencher. Cha Thai (Telok Ayer)
