At first, the 25-year-old Yishun resident was simply hoping the Chinese milk tea chain, Chagee, would open a branch at his neighbourhood mall, Northpoint City.
He was surprised to learn that plans for a new outlet there were already underway.
He later joked about having a life-sized standee or banner of himself outside the branch — and his wish came true.

Known for his travel content, particularly from trips exploring China, Rifqi said his first Chagee video was just a way to take a break from producing his usual more “polished” content.

In the video, he played the role of a customer, listed out his favourite drinks, and also joked about wanting Chagee to open a branch in his neighbourhood.
