The bubbles are a bit chewy and sweet. It's important to choose a popular bubble tea cafe because I've had soggy and tasteless bubbles before and it totally ruins the entire experience. Bubble tea can be quite pricey. One large glass of bubble tea can be almost as expensive as a fast food meal. However it's a fun afternoon treat instead of heading to the usual coffee shop.
We ordered our usual Honeydew slush with bubbles. There's an extensive drink menu but we tend to stick to our favourite.

My cousin owns a bubble tea shop.. I like the tea.. can't stand the tapioca balls. But I love the honeydew ones.
ReplyDeleteI love bubble tea. I usually get a taro or thai tea.
ReplyDeleteohhhh man ... that's what I missed when I went back to Toronto this time .. bubble tea! thks for reminding me - it's on my list for next time :)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! Can you believe I have never had bubble tea!? I don't even know what it is. Please enlighten me :)
ReplyDeleteI love the tapioca pearls, but a lot of people find it gross- I think part of it's the surprise factor of having them pop into your mouth through a straw, which I think is pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThe first time that I tried bubble tea was in Chinatown in San Francisco, and at first I was not sure about it, but by the time I was done with the tea I was hooked. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of bubble tea but now I am on the lookout. Thanks for the "heads up." Bubble tea in Sarasota anyone?
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOVE bubble tea. I put on 5 lbs in college being addicted to this drink/meal replacement. I totally know what you mean about the tapioca needing to be perfectly cooked - I've been disappointed many a time. I actually just featured bubble tea on my Weird Food Wednesdays on April Fools Day!
ReplyDeleteHoneydew slush sounds so good! I usually don't have enough room for bubble tea as the only place I've found it here is at restaurants (so of course, I order food first!). Now, I've got a craving!
ReplyDeleteI actually went my cousins bubble tea shop yesterday and my daughter had baby mango bubble tea. However, those little tapioca balls just don't agree with me. I think they remind me to the days of cleaning out my friends rabbit cage. Just can't get pass it. :/
ReplyDeleteBubble tea is really popular in Hawaii, a good compliment to our warm weather...honeydew or as the producers here call it melona...sooo good, cold and soothing! Thanks for your information!
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting take on the concept. I never thought of it that way. I came across this site recently which I think will be of great use http://www.languageoftheleaf.com . Have a look!
