10. Muyoo Malaysia
We are all aware that bubble milk tea comes from Taiwan, but hey, why go all the way there when we can create a tasty one locally, as well. Being a homegrown brand, you’d think that they’d limit themselves to certain flavours…and names. But that certainly does not stop Muyoo’s love for everything dirty. With names such as Strawberry Dirty Drink and Brown Sugar Dirty Drink, it definitely does make us think of fancy cocktails from the bar!
