Gong Cha

And another Tea Shop is in town -- GONG CHA is another option for the tea-crazed market, just like me :) Accidentally saw this tea shop at the Megamall Atrium and was surprised at the long line. Of course, I had to try it out. 

Due to the seeming understated demand forecast, they ran out of Pearls! A tea place without pearls?! However, they quickly recovered and cooked some; by the time I placed my order, I was asked to wait for 5 minutes to get pearls. I agreed, since milk tea without pearls is pretty sad. And I didn't want any of their other 'extras' anyway.

I tried Milk Wintermelon, which was one of the listed house specialties which were available. (I guess they still have to get the hang of their inventory.) In any case, no real surprise with their Wintermelon Tea. Taste was OK and comparable to other milk teas. I'd still go for Moonleaf's Wintermelon brew :)

Here's their Menu --
