Robotea ... sounds exciting doesn't it? Bubble tea made by a robot. Located in K11 Musea, I wanted to try it out. Why not? It's a robot and it's going to make my drink!There was a bit crowd when I found the shop. Apparently, they perform a dance every hour or whenever there is no orders. And at this moment, there was no orders. The dance is fun and it's free to watch.To order, you do so by a touch screen menu on the side of the shop. Menu is in English and Chinese.

There was a bit crowd when I found the shop. Apparently, they perform a dance every hour or whenever there is no orders. And at this moment, there was no orders. The dance is fun and it's free to watch.
To order, you do so by a touch screen menu on the side of the shop. Menu is in English and Chinese. Take away only so there is no 10% service charge. You can choose to have the tea made by a robot or if you want more complex drinks like boba or cheese tea, those are made by a real human. Apparently the robots can only make basic fruit tea. They also sell ice cream like White Rabbit candy which we sampled and yes, it tasted like our childhood favorite.
But I wasn't here for the human interaction. I wanted my drink made by artificial intelligence. As the shop claims, it combines the elements of STEM and artificial intelligence. The future is here, people. And I'm ready! I made my order via the touch screen and paid by Octopus. It allowed me to set how much ice and sweetness I wanted. I use the default less. A ticket printed out with a QR code on it. And then the robot began because I was the only person who ordered.
Here's a video of how they made my drink. A stream of sugar syrup and tea into a cup. A stage appeared where there was a lid. The robot placed the cup inside where it sealed it with plastic before returning it back to the robot. The robot then mixed it twice and put it down. There was no music. No dance. It was boring.
Scanning the QR code on your ticket will release your drink to you through a tiny window.
I ordered a peach oolong ($39). It basically tasted like sugar. There wasn't much peach taste. There was no hint of tea. For $39, this price was a complete rip off and was definitely for the price of watching a robot make your tea. I think when I ordered it, I was pretty disappointed. I wanted the robot to do more than just swing my drink twice and move it around. I think the crowd behind me thought the same as they quickly dispersed after they saw how they made my drink.
A complete gimmick. Not even a half decent drink to make me at least say ok to this review. If you want to see the robots move about, don't waste your money to order a drink. Just watch the dance performance. It's free and a lot more entertaining than the making of the drink itself. I sacrificed my hard earned cash so you won't have to. Not value for money at all.
