This review is specifically for its Bubble Tea because it just.. blew. me. away.
I came here not expecting much, simply to fill our stomachs with afternoon tea for brunch with a friend. Like most HK style, afternoon tea comes with a drink, but this place offers Bubble Tea along with the usual drinks.. AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!
When I first received my Bubble Tea, I thought that it needed more ice because I could hardly see any underneath the foam. But then I realized the foaming was unique - it was definitely made using a shaker. Next, they actually use HK-style milk tea for this drink. Not the watered-down, nothing-but-sweet milk tea one would expect from a non-bbt specialty place. They actually used tea-flavoured milk tea. Their tapiocas were chewy and sweet, I enjoyed every one of them. Their tea was smooth and milky, sweetness balance was just right. Not to mention they used a larger cup than most places I've been to. It seemed like a never ending cup and I was so satisfied with what I received. I don't know why, this cup of Bubble Tea just stuck with me, it has made so much of an impression that I have to sit here and write about it today. With my experience in HK-style milk tea, I know a good cup of tea when I taste one. This wasn't even what I came here for but now that I know, I would definitely go back just for their Bubble Tea if I happen to be passing by! I hope that cup I got was not just a fluke, I really look forward to going back for more.
Aside from the drink (yes that deserved a whole paragraph), their food deserves a mention too as it was exceptionally well made. We ordered the typical Chinese food - BBQ pork noodles, Tendon and Ligament noodles, and Tomato Egg Rice. The meats were very well-marinated and tender. An easy taste of approval once you put it in your mouth. Huge portions for their afternoon tea. Very satisfied experience overall.
