More of the Milk Tea Craze

And the tea craze continues. They're all over the place! I love milk tea, but it's quite tiring to see all the new shops popping up offering milk tea. I really don't know why I still instinctively try a new one whenever I get the chance, even when I already have my 'favorites.' 

I recently passed by Milkyway Tea, which unfortunately replaced  Ya Kun Kaya. I'm sad to see a nearby Ya Kun Kaya go. I tried the basic milk tea, Milkyway Classic with Pearl and since I wanted a sour drink, tried the Lemon Yakult. Sadly, not one of the drinks made a strong and lasting impression. I did notice however, that they also offered Yogurt ice cream and smoothies. Talk about combining the yogurt ice cream and milk tea craze in one shop. They also have this thing called the Moffle (Mochi Waffle) -- wonder how that would taste? 

And with the increasing number of milk tea shops, it's no wonder that food stalls have joined the bandwagon. I recently spotted a food stall called Tea Ninja which offers 3 drink sizes (S, M, and L), making it more affordable for the average joe to enjoy milk tea. I tried thair Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Grass Jelly, which surprisingly, wasn't bad at all. I even enjoyed it more than Milkyway's... Probably because my expectation was also quite low. Prices range from P40 - P70. I wouldn't be surprised if a few more similar stalls pop up -- don't be surprised if you see one near you.
