TKettle

And so for an after dinner drink, thought it would be nice to go for some bubble tea. Apparently this place is rated as the best bubble tea in town, and of course would have to go try! Being a taiwanese store, I had some expectations.

Can't miss the entrance...

Nor could you miss the bright orange interior! True to its name and reputation, it is packed (and mainly taiwanese people).

Taiwanese Milk Tea

Being at a taiwanese store for bubble tea... only one thing to try, the taiwanese milk tea! I know and it mentions it uses cream powder in place of milk, but to see the undissolved powder was a little disturbing. However it only gives it an extra level of texture, and you could definitely taste the tea (as opposed to the crazy artificialness from the other stores).

What you would have got if you opted for a hot taiwanese milk tea. Cute mug!

Red Bean Mochi Ice Cream

Can't only just have a drink, and so some red bean mochi ice cream. Nice chewy glutinous rice on the outside, with the cold frozen red bean ice cream on the inside. Wasn't a large serving which was perfect to sample!

Green Tea Mochi Ice Cream

As I couldn't decide between green tea or red bean (and they wouldn't do half half), had no other option than to order both! I seemed to prefer the red bean over the green tea - but it's always nice to have a hint of flavour in the glutinous rice.

Chocolate Bubble Waffle

Possibly over-ordering (but I was here to sample!), added the chocolate bubble waffle! Haven't really had these much - but it's usually a must have on when you're strolling the streets. Crispy, not too sweet... all good. Next time I'd probably go without the chocolate.

Definitely a place to go, probably a little on the higher side for bubble tea prices - but when you're sitting down inside, with these lovely snacks. It's definitely all worth it! I will be coming back =)
