If there’s one thing I love most about HoYoverse’s experiential collaborations is that they’re always food and beverage related.
The latest to hit local stores is the Honkai Star Rail x LiHO collaboration, running from now until August 18, 2024.
A few months ago, LiHO collaborated with Genshin Impact, featuring Klee and Jean. Funnily, it was my parents who bought the drinks and surprised me with a scratch card. They were also the ones who shared with me the Genshin Impact x Domino’s pizza spread back in 2022.
Fans of HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG will remember Blade and Kafka hanging out at Chagee, which took place exactly one year ago in July 2023. Later in the year, Dan Heng and March 7th led the Honkai Star Rail x Kith food collaboration which included fabulous desserts.
As with all collabs, they’re usually packaged with exclusive merchandise — and Honkai Star Rail x LiHO’s offering might be the most useful and dynamic product to date.
Honkai Star Rail x LiHO combos include exclusive, limited-time merchandise featuring Ruan Mei and Firefly
The two collaboration exclusive bubble tea flavors are Summer Peach Gardenia White Tea (Firefly) and Summer Peach Lychee Milk Tea (Ruan Mei). Aside from the fact that both flavors are a mouthful, what’s inside is much more palatable.
I had the peach tea which contained thinly shaved, jelly-like bits. My friend taste-tested the milk tea and appreciated that the lychee wasn’t overpowering.
Perfect for a hot afternoon, both of these drinks felt refreshing, embodying uplifting summer vibes if summer actually existed in Singapore.

The standard combo comes with a collectible acrylic card. With a total of eight designs that you get at random, you’ll want to keep going back for more to complete the collection and trade with friends. Some designs are holographic and look extra shiny and pretty.
The premium combo comes with a color changing cup featuring Ruan Mei and Firefly individually. As you fill up the cup with a cold beverage, the background changes from white to their trademark green or purple, depending on the character. It’s practical, vibrant, and a great addition to my work desk.
What’s more, each drink comes with a scratch card with a code that gives you 40 Stellar Jades, 2 Immortal’s Delight, and 5,000 Credits.
