| - I like super-popular chain of "That Bubble Tea Place" that has popped up all over the GTA and various 'burbs, but Fruit Jungle will always have a place in my heart.
To be fair, this stuff isn't really bubble tea - apart from the tiny tea or milk tea selections, Fruit Jungle really serves fruit juices and fruit + dairy mixes. Unlike "That Bubble Tea Place", Fruit Jungle serves real, fresh milk and blends fresh fruit with no powders. The Chinese name of this place roughly translates to "3 things not sold/included", which promises to be sold free of powdered flavourings, no ice (cubes, in place of juice) and zero plasticizers thought to typically be contained in the making of tapioca balls.
I love milky stuff, so I tend to go for the milk shakes, which is literally milk + your fruit(s) of choice. If you like durian, definitely try the durian milk shake. It makes my durian-hating hubs hate me for the smell, but ehhhh, I likes it. My other favourite is the super creamy avocado shake - the menu actually lists a combo of the two!
Important stuff to know: They take cash only. If you buy $15 (or was it $20?) worth of drinks or more, you can get a VIP card that gives you a 10% discount every time you show it upon payment. The menu can be overwhelming, but sometimes there will be the odd new menu sheet that lets you know which fruit is in season or recommended for peak ripeness.
