After hearing warnings of how sweet they make it I decided to go straight up with something that really has no sweetness which was a chiller (you know, like a slushie) but of the genmaicha variety.
Typically I'm not big on matcha but add toasted rice and it's now a dessert. Once in a while I will buy genmaicha from Davids to switch things up from my regular green tea that is my usual (Dragonwell).
Honestly I'm not used to green tea being served in steins. Usually when I'm drinking out of steins it's instead beer and since I rarely have bubble tea or frequent bubble tea places it felt rather strange to not have that plastic cup with the top sealed where I had to insert a half inch diameter straw wide enough to vacuum up tapioca balls. Not this time... this drink for lack of a better word was deceivingly thick considering it's a tea but hey it's also toasted rice too.
I really liked this drink but it's cold and gritty and it's like I'm eating a cereal that was ran through a blender... a completely strange texture! It was sort of like sucking back liquid sand paper but it was surprisingly addictive.
The price difference between a large and small is only a buck (6 or 5) so naturally being the pro bulk purchaser I am I went with the large green grit and cool slushie looking thing that will scratch your throat on the way down but in a good way.
Since we just ate next door I wasn't really hungry but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted when looking at their menu of food just because of the pictures. Photos of food are nice to look at kind of how it's not exactly burning your eyes to look at a Victoria's Secret catalog.
I thought it was sort of funny that some of the photos like of the fries had a photo of just ONE fry. I also saw that they had chicken wings and even what looks like one of those pounded flat chicken breasts like what they have at Hot Star Large Fried Chicken except this thing was only 7 bucks as opposed to 10ish.
If I was to eat here I'd probably go for that popcorn looking chicken with rice and that egg on top. Eggs on top are for the win.
It's not often I come to central Mississauga considering how close I live so bubble tea is sort of a treat for me.
Still, I'm not fancy on it or anything but it's interesting enough.
