A tale of 2 teas

Round the civil district, there consist of many bubble tea shops. Including the usual Gong Cha (Raffles City), Eskimo (Esplanade Exchange), Bubble Tree (Marina Sq), one in Suntec(but the tea sux) but forgotten about the name, and now 2 new outlets.

1. Millienia Walk, Cup C+

The only time when one need to visit this small little (but now getting more upmarket) mall is when visiting Harvey Norman, studying with a laptop at Starbucks (one of the best interior design), buying Pullman Bakery curry bread (which is ultra nice) or just visiting Parco.

Now, there's another reason, Bubble Tea :). A friend told me of this shop (the "我更你講hor...") in twitter when i listed out the bubble tea shop around Singapore. Him, being not a big fan of bubble tea is utterly useless on the taste (sshhh).  Passion fruit mixed with Green Tea, in a large cup cost just $4.80 (if i'm not wrong). Though slightly more expensive, but confirm worth every single penny. According to the staff there, the Passion Fruit is seasonal and imported from Taiwan. First taste, it taste great. The mixture of the sweetness of the passion fruit mixed with the green tea is a perfect match. Like romeo and Juilet or me and Starbucks. But subsequently, the taste of the passion fruit is too overbearing. Have one ever eat lemon on its own? Well, the taste is like as acidic as lemon. But thanks to the green tea, the flavour tried to complement with each other. Only if we can add in some sugar syrup, then it'll be better. Should try Green Tea the next time.

2. Esplanade, ArTease [near Thai Express; Colours of the Bay]

Pretty sure almost each and every Singaporeans know of this bubble tea brand. Having an outlet at Cine (Somerset MRT), it sure draws in a huge crowd. With this new outlet at Esplanade, arts cum bubble tea lovers are now in for a wonderful treat! Artease is famous for their tiny and chewy bubbles (tapioca pearls). It is even way awesome than Eskimo tiny pearls!! I've all along ordered my bubble tea without any pearls, but for ArTease, I must make a concession. See, that's how irrestiable their pearls were. (And me, to forgo lunch thereafter). They too, sells other food other than Bubble tea. But based on my experience at their shop, there seemed to have no central air-con unit (so, it's gonna be real stuffy and humid, like the Thai Express nearby).
