On the way home, I walked by Mon ChiCha and glimpsed what was a new bubble tea spot to me. We were in the area again the following day so it was clearly meant to be!
They had a buy one, get one drink free promotion going on when we were there. The only restriction was that you had to order the same type of drink to get the offer.
I have no idea what this place was beforehand but it has an industrial, club/loungey feel to it. At least the music made me want to start dancing like I was up in da club. The exposed brick, slick tables and cute anime chalk drawings made for a very cool interior.
The drink menu is pretty big; I like how they categorize everything and separate into hot/cold options. There's their top hits, flavoured/latte/creamy/herbal cha, smoothies and specials. There's also a food menu but we'd already eaten dinner. Mainly Taiwanese snacks and desserts (egg waffles and crepes).
- Passion fruit (MT9) and mango yogurt with mango frubo (MT8) ($5.45) - you can customize the ice and sugar levels. The drink was refreshing and you get real pieces of passion fruit. The tapioca texture was good and they let me get half tapioca/half lychee pieces. The mango frubo was a little too artificial tasting but I did like how the frubo exploded in your mouth.
Cute spot and I would easily come back. Perfect spot to bring a date or to come to after you've had dinner in the 'hood.
