Tai Hing Milk Tea

2012-11-01T21:22:00.001-07:00

Most milk tea shops serve milk tea with lots of ice in it. Tai Hing resto, a Hongkong cuisine resto at Changi Airport Terminal 2 serves their milk tea pure (no ice!). It's one of the richest milk tea I've had.

Mad Hatter Milk Tea

2012-06-29T21:30:00.000-07:00

As if straight out of the Alice in Wonderland storybook comes a milk tea place named after the character who obsessed about his tea -- The Mad Hatter. The stacks of books, mushrooms, wall murals and ceiling clocks looked all too pleasantly familiar. It was like being a kid again! Mad Hatter has a nice selection of iced milk teas that can quench a daily tea craving. I prefer the

360 Hand Shaken Tea

2012-03-12T22:42:00.000-07:00

360 Hand Shaken Tea opened its first branch in Yahu! Plaza located in Davao City's Chinatown. I found out about it through a friend, whose friend at work bought him a cup of their milk tea. I was pretty content with whipping up my own milk tea at home with my stash of Old Town and Gold Kili, but nothing beats a fresh cup of milk tea. Karen Ang of Dementia-Foodista.com 360's store

Gong Cha

2011-11-12T05:28:00.000-08:00

I think Drew and I have been so busy drinking milk tea we both have not been able to blog! I have quite a number of posts though which I should be able to work on while I'm billeted in Singapore. Since I'm in a milk tea country I thought I'd try out the different milk tea stations in my vicinity. My pick this week was Gong Cha which I found nicely situated where I get off the bus on Somerset

Milk Tea Station

2011-09-02T08:16:00.000-07:00

People who live in the Northern part of Metro Manila are so lucky because a lot of milk tea places are located there. I told myself that I'd check out the milk tea place at Imperial Palace Suites which I spotted on the way to a meeting. I finally got the chance to check it out when I arrived in the area 30 minutes before my appointment. I probably had a silly smile on my face when I entered

Gold Roast Teh Tarik

2011-05-05T04:13:00.000-07:00

I'm such a milk tea addict, I asked my Mom to get me some in Jakarta I can sample. It was my sister-in-law who took up my request and she's so far brought home two different brands for me. The latest pasalubong she brought me is Gold Roast Teh Tarik. I had just finished the second pack of my now-favorite instant milk tea (which I haven't even blogged about yet!), but I instantly fell in love

Pokka Premium Milk Green Tea

2011-02-10T03:06:00.000-08:00

Whenever I'm in Singapore I go to 7-Eleven to check out if there's anything new I should try out. I had sampled the Pokka Milk Tea last year and found it a tad too lemon-y for my taste, but that didn't stop me from drinking it every time I visited Singapore. Anyway, so during my visit last month I was surprised to see a new offering by Pokka - Milk Green Tea. Green tea with milk? Green colored

Iced Milk Tea at Panda Cafe, Ocean Park, HK

2011-01-31T01:03:00.000-08:00

In a recent trip to Hong Kong, my brother's family and I visited Ocean Park a day after a hectic New Year's celebration. The park was a far cry from what I recall during my last visit a decade ago. I was pleasantly surprised by how it's become this sprawling, full-fledged theme park. We arrived at noontime, and boy were we famished. A restaurant, the Panda Cafe, was a stone's throw away

Max Tea Tarikk (Instant Milk Tea)

2010-08-19T07:36:00.000-07:00

I managed to sample Max Tea Tarikk because of my friend Brian who recently visited Singapore. He gave me two brands to try out and Max Tea Tarikk was one of them. As I've been accustomed to, I added a teaspoon of condensed milk which I shouldn't have done since Max Tea Tarikk was sweet enough. This one tasted a bit like Super Milk Tea since it had a citrus after-taste.

Owl Teh Tarik (Instant Milk Tea)

2010-07-31T06:45:00.000-07:00

Owl Teh Tarik (hand-pulled milk tea) is probably one of the best instant milk tea brands I've sampled. It's the closest rendition of hand-pulled milk tea in powder form. I couldn't help but ooh and aah when I first tasted it and had to stop myself from finishing the pack I bought from Singapore in a week. It because too sweet though when I added condensed milk, but was perfect when I added fresh

Super Milk Tea (Instant 3-in-1)

2010-07-24T06:33:00.000-07:00

I just tried Super's instant milk tea just now. Tasted like milk tea from hawker centers but with a citrus twist aftertaste. I think I should have added some condensed milk when I had a glass. It's not so bad though, I think I'll have another try soon.

Kozui Green Tea

2010-07-20T06:55:00.000-07:00

Headed to Kozui Green Tea at Tomas Morato with a couple of friends after attending an event. It was just two blocks away from the event so Sweetie and I just walked. It was nestled between an internet cafe and a resto. Everything was green inside Kozui and I felt totally refreshed after walking under the sun. I immediately scanned the menu for milk tea (addict!) and found that they had tea

Mr. Tea Milk Tea (Instant 3-in-1)

2010-07-17T06:32:00.000-07:00

I got a pack of Mr. Tea instant Milk Tea in Singapore during my last trip. I was actually looking for a pack of Gold Kili Milk Tea since I loved its taste so I just got a pack of Mr. Tea's instant milk tea instead. (Since it's called Mr. Tea, I kinda thought I'd find Mr. T's photo on it, LOL). Immediately tried it when I got home in Manila and thought it tasted like milk tea sold at hawker

Tea at Caffe Ti-amo

2010-05-09T09:18:00.000-07:00

I was pleasantly surprised when we were served peppermint and lemon grass tea at Caffe Ti-Amo during their store blessing today. The store manager brought us this cool looking device and explained that they would steep fresh tea leaves in it. You just need to place hot water, the tea leaves and wait 15 minutes. When it's ready just put it on the cup and it will automatically transfer the tea

Mine Shine

2010-05-06T01:18:00.000-07:00

Milk tea fanatics will surely love this treasure my husband and I discovered at 7-Eleven. Yes, 7-Eleven!!! Introducing, Mine Shine, a ready to drink milk tea beverage available at all 7-Eleven stores. At first we only found it at one of the branches in Makati, but it eventually became available in the 7-Eleven store near our home (hooray for that!). How does it taste? It tastes like the

Amaretto Tea Latte, Serenitea

2010-04-10T09:18:00.000-07:00

My husband loves amaretto. He orders amaretto coffee whenever it's available. He loves it so much that I once had a long line of tweets with other tweeters about how to find this flavoring. Also tried to look for it locally but I have been unsuccessful. So you can just imagine how he lit up when he saw listed in Serenitea's menu the Amaretto Tea Latte. He also had coffee jelly with it and just

Okinawa Milk Tea, Serenitea

2010-04-06T08:47:00.000-07:00

The first drink I ordered at Serenitea was the Okinawa Milk Tea. I had a hard time choosing since they had a long list of milk tea choices. Good thing the tea barista was helpful and describe how the different choices tasted. I was still confused though (probably because I was so excited) so I ended up choosing the #1 choice in their top ten list. The Okinawa Milk Tea (#2 choice though in their

Serenitea Cha Kitchen

2010-04-02T07:47:00.000-07:00

There's a number of tea places sprouting around the Metro and I heard about Serenitea from Plurker friends. We immediately looked for a chance to go to BF Homes in Paranaque. We found our excuse when Miguel said that he had class on a Saturday. We promptly volunteered to pick him up (even though the school bus could've brought him home). We were famished by the time we got to Serenitea. It

Pokka Milk Tea at SM Hypermarket!

2010-03-29T07:44:00.000-07:00

I've been quite worried about my instant milk tea stash. My Gold Kili pack is dwindling fast and I'm still trying to find somebody who can get me some from Singapore. We were trying to find a good brand of Mint tea the other day at SM Hypermarket when we chanced upon (at the bottom of the shelf) a couple of Pokka Milk Tea! The cans looked like people were ignoring it (good for me!). I got one

Kopi Roti Milk Tea

2010-03-25T07:40:00.000-07:00

I usually order iced tea with milk at Kopi Roti, but since my tonsils were taking awhile to get well I decided to try out hot milk tea. I was quite nervous at first since I didn't know if I'd like it. I was hooked at the first sip though and now I'm not sure which I like better. Maybe I'll order both next time I visit Kopi Roti. LOL.

Homemade Milk Tea with Sariwangi

2010-03-21T07:40:00.000-07:00

I wasn't feeling too well the past two weeks and couldn't drink iced milk tea. I was kinda desperate already so I thought I'd try it out hot. I then steeped a bag of Sariwangi black tea and added a tablespoon of condensed milk. It was an awesome experience!

Teh Tarik at Makansutra

2010-03-11T05:24:00.000-08:00

We were in the Manila area a few days ago and decided to have lunch at the Manila Ocean Park since it's been almost 2 years since the last time we visited. Aside from the aquarium area we were pleasantly surprised that the mall side was almost filled up with stores and restaurants. One great addition was Makansutra, a resto that offers a variety of Asian cuisine. I was pretty pleased that

Starbucks Full Tea Latte

2010-03-05T05:57:00.000-08:00

I got so excited the other night when I saw a banner promoting Starbucks' new line of tea drinks. I had just been disappointed by an iced tea milk review I just did so seeing the banner gave me hope that I'd be able to find something yummylicious to drink in the Metro. Finally got a chance to go to Starbucks after attending an event. We were forced to leave early because the venue was filling up

Sereni-tea at Bona Coffee

2010-02-28T05:39:00.000-08:00

Sweetie and I found ourselves at Bona Coffee Westgate the other night. Our movie date was postponed since the movie we wanted to watch was SRO! Quickly left the mall and decided to drive around Westgate. Passed by Bona Coffee and decided to kill time there since we had a few hours before we could pick up Miguel from his prom. Since it was evening I didn't want to drink coffee. I didn't find

Why I Love Singapore

2010-02-07T09:20:00.000-08:00

This is a phone with me having iced tea with milk an hour after I landed in Singapore. I had to go straight to the hospital for my check-up, but since we had about 30 minutes before my appointment we decided to have a snack. The snack turned out to be some yummy Korean beef and then I grabbed some iced tea with milk from the "drinks stall" for just SG$1.30. One of the things I love about
