A woman creatively took advantage of LiHO Tea’s promotion by filling three large wine glasses with the popular Singaporean bubble tea brand’s Signature Da Hong Pao Tea for just S$1 each. The catch was that customers had to bring their own reusable containers to avail of the promotion. The woman later shared that the drinks were consumed by 15 people, ensuring no wastage.
On Saturday, March 25th, LiHO Tea ran a promotion where customers could purchase their Signature Da Hong Pao Tea for only S$1 if they brought their own reusable containers. The size of the container did not matter, as long as it was reusable.
In a TikTok video posted on the same day, the woman was seen bringing a large wine glass to LiHO to take advantage of the promotion. The true size of the wine glass was revealed when a staff member filled it up – the glass was so tall that it was nearly at the employee’s eye level.
The video further revealed that the woman had not one or two, but three large wine glasses filled with tea. Responding to comments, the woman shared that the drinks were eventually consumed by 15 people, ensuring that there was no wastage.
As long as LiHO Tea is willing to accommodate and no drinks go to waste,there should be no cause for concern. The promotion has also highlighted the creativity and environmental awareness of the customers.
So, did you participate in LiHO’s S$1 promotion this weekend? If so, feel free to share the type of container you used in the comments.

In a startling turn of events, an elderly woman has tragically passed away in her Holland Drive residence in Singapore. The discovery of her body was prompted by neighbors who noticed a foul smell emanating from her flat. The incident has garnered widespread attention and left many residents deeply disturbed.
The incident occurred in a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat in Holland Drive. The deceased elderly woman was reportedly around 70 years old. At approximately 9:30 pm on Tuesday, March 21st, the police received a call reporting the discovery of a deceased woman in the residential unit. Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene to investigate.
It was reported that the body had been lying in the flat for several days. The reason it was discovered was due to neighbors becoming alarmed by the increasingly strong and unpleasant odor. Initially, they did not pay much attention to the smell, but as it worsened over time, they decided to alert the authorities to ensure that everything was alright.
The police have been conducting a thorough investigation at the scene, but the exact cause of the elderly woman’s death has yet to be determined. Nevertheless, the police have stated that, based on preliminary findings, there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death, and it is currently not believed to be a case of foul play. However, the investigation will continue to get to the bottom of the matter.
The tragic event has left nearby residents in shock, with many expressing their condolences for the deceased. Many have stated that the sudden tragedy has left them feeling grief-stricken and uneasy in their tight-knit community. Some neighbors have also lamented that the incident serves as a stark reminder to care for the elderly around them and to always be vigilant.
At present, the police and relevant agencies are working together to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the incident. They are striving to determine the cause of the elderly woman’s death and provide as much information as possible to the community in order to alleviate residents’ concerns. Many hope that this incident will spark discussions surrounding the care and support of the elderly, so as to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
In conclusion, the heartbreaking incident in Holland Drive has highlighted the importance of paying close attention to the well-being of our elderly neighbors. By bolstering care and support for them, we can ensure that they receive the respect and attention they deserve in their twilight years.

There are six regular halls and five premium halls — of which, four will feature reclinable seats to provide more legroom and the latest sound system to make the movie-going experience even more comfortable and dynamic.
