Dakasi Kids Menu Malaysia
Dakasi kids menu picks are easy to get right, even though the chain has no official children’s menu in Malaysia. The trick is ordering from the main menu with a few smart tweaks: regular size, less ice, lower sugar, and milder flavours. See the full Dakasi menu with prices for every drink behind the kid-friendly shortlist below.
Does Dakasi have an official kids menu in Malaysia?
No. Dakasi has never published an official kids menu, in Malaysia or anywhere else. It is a bubble tea chain, so the whole menu is drinks, and most of them can work for older kids with the right order. The parent playbook is simple: pick a mild flavour, go regular size, ask for less ice and 30 to 50% sugar. Staff are used to these requests.
What are the best kid-friendly drinks at Dakasi?
Mild, milky flavours win with kids. Taro and Oreo are the usual favourites, and fruity au lait drinks feel like a treat without the heavier tea taste. For younger children, skip the pearls entirely and go for a fruit tea or iced tea, they are lighter and there is nothing to chew.
| Kid-Friendly Drink | Why Kids Like It | Indicative Price |
|---|---|---|
| Taro Milk Tea | Sweet, creamy, purple colour kids love | RM 10-13 |
| Oreo Milk Tea | Cookies-and-cream flavour, basically dessert | RM 11-14 |
| Dakasi Bubble Milk Tea | The signature, ask for 50% sugar | RM 10-13 |
| Strawberry Au Lait | Fruity and milky, mild tea taste | RM 12-15 |
| Honeydew Milk Tea | Light, sweet, easy to drink | RM 10-13 |
| Lemon Iced Tea | No milk, no pearls needed, very light | RM 8-11 |
Can you order a smaller size for kids?
Dakasi cups come in regular and large. Regular is the smaller one, and it is plenty for a child. There is no dedicated mini cup, so do not go hunting for one on the menu board. Two useful tweaks: ask for less ice (more drink, less dilution) and if one regular is too much for a small kid, split it between two cups. Most outlets will do that if you ask nicely.

What should parents know about sugar and caffeine?
Two things worth knowing before you order for kids. First, most milk teas contain real brewed tea, which means some caffeine. If that worries you, fruity au lait drinks and iced teas are the lighter end of the menu, and you can always ask the staff which drinks are mildest. Second, sugar is adjustable. Dakasi lets you pick your sugar level, so 30% or 50% is the sweet spot for kids: still tasty, much less of a sugar rush.
One safety note for toddlers: tapioca pearls are a choking hazard for very small children. For under-4s, order fruit teas or iced teas with no pearls, or swap in soft toppings like coconut jelly instead.
