This is the first of the 4 locations of Food Jungle, which specializes in Bubble Tea with the tapioca pearls.
They do claims themselves to be the best REAL bubble tea and they have 3 rules they always follows:
- Not from Powder or Concentrate
- With No Ice
- No Mushy or Hard Tapioca
The prices here includes taxes. A basic bubble tea cost $2.25.
Food Jungle is more like a take out place instead of a teahouse like TenRen, so there is limited and uncomfortable sitting. The store itself is small and messy.
The nice server recommend us to try the Fresh Mango juice with Pearls for $3.75 tax in. Since Mango is in season and it is a hot summer day.
I have to say that the drink does taste great! Thinks Mango Smoothies... and with tons of Tapioca inside. I was so full after drinking it! It taste more like a liquid dessert than a juice! (Is Mango suppose to be good for you? please say yes!)
Aside from drinks, there are also a lot of snacks like freshly steamed Siu Miu dumplings ($2.25/5 pc) which will take 4 minutes to be ready. I for sure going to order one for afternoon snack next time!
Since there is only 1 girl working there in the afternoon, you might have to wait for your drinks or your snacks if it get busy!
CASH only!
PS if you read Chinese, you will find the owner does have a sense of humor when you read all those Chinese Characters on the wall and posters!
