Oh.. because mine was white and it seemed wrong

bubble tea in china taste really bad!
i was like so shocked when i got one there.
there's only a little bit of tapioca which is hard and not yummy :[
& they usually serve it room temp. ew.
blah. i'm disappointed.

I hate it when they put too much milk so that it doesn't even look like bubble tea anymore.

lol, i like bubble tea shakes

I just had some. Strawberry slush! Yumm...

May I join? :]

Name: Christina
Favorite flavor of bubble tea: Grape Milk Tea (aim :P)
First time you had bubble tea: back in elementary school. It was always a pearl iced tea (boba milk tea) that we would get at Sam Woo (a cheap Chinese food place) at the 99 Ranch Market in San Diego. I've had bubble tea before I ever went to an actual boba place!
Store you usually buy from: Tapioca Express because it's cheap. I PREFER to go to TEASTATION whenever I have the chance and the dinero to spend $5-$6 on a drink (slushies and snow bubbles)


Teastation > all other boba places I've been to.

Lollicup sucks where I live. I'm not trying to bash on the entire franchise, its just the one in my city and the one in my niece's city.

hahaha dude this is amazing
id love to join

Major bumping. D:

passion fruit
honeydew
original (just tea)
taro (>.<)
coffee
mango
and thats it.

i haven't had bubble tea in a whileeee. it's been like a month+ ];

Christina, you're in NY? I've been to 86th Street in Manhattan but have never seen a bakery like that.

Adding y'all.

Why the deprivation, Moni?

^no one will take me to pochi or yunnie's ];
i don't think washington has ten ren or quickly's, haha.

It's cold
I can hardly think about this.

First time you had bubble tea:last year. :O!
Store you usually buy from:sweet adel's

I think both exist in California, so make a trip to your neighboring state. xD

Christina: Haha, I thought so. ><; There's nothing remotely boba-like on the Upper East or West Side of Manhattan.

What about Tea Station? <3!

Never heard of that. Quickly and Ten Ren are the main places to get boba in NYC. x)

*CA'ER*

Boba Loca, Quickly, and Tea Station.
Ten Ren sounds like they'd have bomb ramen.

:X

I want to try Cali boba and see if it's any better/different from the kind here. :p

Haha, I don't think Ten Ren serves anything but tea-based concoctions.

oh i love bubble tea. it's so good. the first time i had one was in the store by my apartment. but it wasn't interesting or good to spark anything. then i had some in vietnam...and it was the BEST. the flavor was milk grape and it tastes so good! they don't have that flavor in any of the places around where i live.

Even so. I think I'm just craving ramen immensely. No ... more like I'm craving MSG-less ramen. XD!!! Idk. I'd imagine it'd taste the same. Korea Quickly, and CA Quickly = Same.

I want to try that Vietnamese boba, Laughsalot. o_o

Anisha: Yeah, it probably would taste the same, but I still wonder these things. xD

WAHHHHHH i know! i went to cali last summer, passed by both but didn't stop buy to get any since we were busy...doing something, i forgot. D:

Put "Go to Quickly and/or Ten Ren" on your to-do list the next time you're there! :[

How long does it take to get to Cali from where you live, btw?

i definitely will :D

hmm...from washington to cali? it takes like 13 hours driving, and i forgot how many hours on the plane xD

Wow, half a day in a car is long. What do you do to pass the time while your parents drive? D:

The food clubbers who have never had bubble tea should check out the first page. ;D

OMG
OMG
OMG
they just opened a Quickly nearby!
gosh, im so excited

Name: Joanne
Favorite flavor of bubble tea: Chocolate, or mocha. I like the milky stuff. =]
First time you had bubble tea: Oh, I think it was back when I was 10.
Store you usually buy from: I usually just get it when I feel like it. =P

I had a bubble tea at this place in Aberdeen Centre (Richmond) yesterday, and they were the slowest bubble-tea-makers ever! People waited for 10-20 minutes for a drink that could've been made in five. It was so stupid, because they were hand-shaking the drinks instead of using those machines that shake it for you. = =''

^Ten Ren's hand shakes it, but theyre not slow

Shrima: Yay! :)

Joanne: Haha, your form doesn't explain where you buy it from. :P I'll add you to the list!

Tapioca Express! Love it. There's one and a lolicup nearby (too bad, everybody here likes tapx lol). And the only other one I've ever seen is like Quickly.

Ya know, boring milk tea is actually really good<3

Haha, yeah, I never get bored of it. :P Plain milk tea is underrated.

so, i went to the new quickly today
buy one get one free! YESH!
i bought a milk lemon and passion fruit
i now know:
quickly > ten ren

You shouldn't say that just because of the buy-one-get-one-free deal. xP

Joining.

Name:CJ
Favorite flavor of bubble tea:Piña Colada
First time you had bubble tea:About 3 years ago
Store you usually buy from:Coffee Fusion & Bubble Tea Cafe

I also like the coconut lychee jellies in it.

haha, thats true
but i do like quickly better, they dont charge you extra for getting milk tea. ten rens does. and quickly has a more appealing look and is a more comfortable place to hang out after school than ten rens. but i am comparing these to the stores nearby and not quicklys and ten rens overall.
but ten rens never had a buy one get one free deal
also, 50 cents off for showing your student id

WTF buuubbdlee tea...

TEAA sux...

KOOLAIID ... MmMm bietch

CJ: Sorry, adding you to the members list now!

Shrima: Yeah, I prefer Quickly overall. It's just that the Ten Ren in Flushing is closer to the subway station than Quickly is, so my friends and I would go there if we were too lazy to walk to Quickly. xD

I'm so happy that a bubble tea place has opened near me. I've just been waiting for it to happen. XD

Have you been there yet? And is it selling bubble tea at a low price for its grand opening? :D

There's no where to get bubble tea around here. The only time I have it is when the Asian sorority sells it. Had a green tea one yesterday, though my friend's black tea one was actually better, because it was creamier.

mhmm, just finished some bubble tea :]]]
