Coconut shakes have been gaining a lot of popularity in recent times. There are many stores that carry such unique drinks. With the numerous outlets scattered islandwide, it is very hard not to notice one especially because it is frequently accompanied with a long queue. Being a hot and humid country, a refreshing cup of coconut shakes will definitely fight off the heat and make one become a fan.
Bubble teas are widely known for their sweetness and calories. However, you do not need to worry about coconut shake. It is a great way to add potassium to diets, which is usually derived from fruits and vegetables. Besides that, coconut juice is lower in sugar and a good way to rehydrate and cleanse your kidneys.
So how did this trend start? I believe it was started by ‘Mr. Coconut’ that was established in the year of 2016. This homegrown brand originated from Malacca with Thailand descent. Their mission was to provide a healthier option to the masses by using the freshest coconut’s ingredients and provide excellent service to their customers. I have to say that they have done it so far as Mr. Coconut has garnered many Singaporeans fans along the way.
Originally launched as ‘Xiang Yu’ in 2016 by Andrew Cai, Lucas Lin and Vivian Yeo, the response that they have received was quite lacklustre. Although they do have a unique selling point of selling coconut based drinks, Singaporeans were not yet ready to move on from their ‘first love’, bubble tea.
After relaunching the brand as ‘Mr. Coconut’ in 2016, their coconut shake business started to take off and is now known and remembered fondly by many Singaporeans as the go to drink to beat the heat. It’s safe to say that they do believe in what they do hence they achieved the success they deserved although it took some time.
I guess it is good to see many locals supporting homegrown businesses so let’s continue to support more local businesses so they can achieve new heights in such trying times.

Have patience as I assure you that the queues are really long.
