Felix’s Picks

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Famous Taiwanese bubble tea chain with over 2,200 stores across 29 markets globally has teamed up with K-pop superstar, Felix Yongbok Lee to attract more younger customers.

Stray Kids Felix is now the new brand ambassador to Gong cha and the collaboration started earlier this year in South Korea before spreading globally during the Summer and Autumn.

The collab has been super successful and broken all sales records, and it has finally arrived in the UK in late September and now available in all Gong cha stores across the country.

There are three different boba teas to choose from: Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Oolong Tea with Coconut Jelly and Felix’s absolute favourite, Taro Milk Tea with Pearls which he usually has with 100% sweetness and extra pearls.

Although, there is a range of Felix merch available in the South Korean Gong cha stores, in the UK, there are only pin badges currently available.

Free Felix Pin Badges and Where to Get Them

If you purchase any two from the Felix’s Picks range, you’ll get a free pin badge.

Gong cha’s most popular store in Covent Garden has already run out of the pin badges, but there is a secret location where all the four different designs are still available.

Plus, there is a life-size Felix cutout to take selfie with.

Gong cha recently opened a new shop in Romford where they sell not only bubble tea, but also cute, branded merch and desserts.

In that store they have all the different pin badges and when we visited, a friendly member of staff even gave us the opportunity to pick whichever we liked (usually you got a random one).

Full address: Unit FR 8A, 1st floor, 10 Waterloo Rd, Romford RM1 1AU

Keep an eye on Gong cha’s official UK Instagram account for updates on the collab.

Upon entering you’ll first find yourself in a large space with cute photo ops with the ENHYPEN members and a screen playing their video clips. You can spend as much time as you want here before entering the actual shop.

In the shop there are lots of exclusive ENHYPEN merch available, including T-shirts, umbrellas, acrylic stands, photo cards, light stick and light band, jewellery and much more.

Hidden inside a small Korean and Japanese supermarket, Woo Jung is a popular spot for K-pop lovers. The reason: the restaurant is frequently visited by K-pop idols and other Korean artists. In 2023, Jennie from BLACKPINK enjoyed a dinner here after the BLACKPINK concert.

Woo Jung is hidden inside a Korean and Japanese supermarket, called Centre Point. It’s a very intimate restaurant with just a few tables. They’re serving traditional Korean dishes, such as kimchi stew, spicy pork, classic seafood pancake, noodle dishes, Korean soups and more.

The place has a warm, homely atmosphere you’ll instantly fell in love with. No wonder why this place is so popular among Korean artists while they’re in London. They feel like home.

Korean celebrities visited the restaurant includes Jennie from BLACKPINK, Sunwoo from The Boyz, and South Korean footballer, Yang Min-hyeok among others.

Jennie’s Pick

Jennie visited Woo Jung on the 2^nd July 2023 after the BLACPINK concert at BST Hyde Park.

Jennie and her company enjoyed a number of delicious dishes, including Kimchi Jjigae, Seafood Kalguksu and Beef Hot Pot.

If you’d like to eat your way through all the dishes Jennie ordered, the restaurant created a special ‘Jennie’s Pick’ menu that features everything she ordered with photos of the dishes.

Once you’ve ordered your dishes, framed photos of the BLACKPINK and Jennie’s signature provide the perfect backdrop for your Insta snaps.

We ordered the Soondubu Jjigae which is a spicy soup with tofu and seafood, served with rice. It was rich in flavour, and we absolutely loved it. It wasn’t too spicy, so even if you’re not a huge fan of spicy food, you can eat this without any problem.

Our second order was a simple one. We ordered the vegetable Gun Mandu which is basically stir fried dumplings (you can choose from chicken, beef and veggie). It was crispy and delicious. Highly recommend this one if you’re not familiar with Korean food and want to go for a safer option.

Make sure you check back to Woo Jung after the BLACKPINK concert in August. Who knows, you might be lucky enough to meet Jennie or other members of the girl group.
