Our little Filipino restaurant, Fiesta Filipino, now has bubble tea and bubble smoothies.
Bubble Tea
The owner had told us he was going to start selling bubble tea and smoothies and I had seen on Facebook where they had them. I went to town last week and running by there was on my list but I ran out of time and didn’t get to go so yesterday after our knitting group, I ran by there. I got an Almond tea and it was delicious. Now I’m thinking of a reason I can go back to town today and get another one but I won’t .. probably. I told him I would bring him some lemongrass from my plant. That sounds like a good excuse to run to town, don’t you think?

There’s a bubble tea place near me but I’ve never been in there. Just didn’t sound appealing. Still not sure I’ll try it cuz you like cotton candy blizzards and YUCK, I don’t! HA

The way I look at it . . $3 or $4 is a small price to pay to try something new. You may not like, you may love it but you’ll never know until you try it and I want to try everything I can . . at least once. To me, life is too short to avoid things just in case I don’t like them.

I agree with Sherrill! ?

Lemongrass is a great reason to run into town. Pardon my ignorance, but what is bubble tea?

I learn so many things by reading your blog! I had to use use “google” to see what you were talking about and there are all sorts of recipes on there.

I just had my first bubble tea last month with my niece. It was ok and she was excited to show me something new

I LOVE bubble tea too. Had my first one at least 10 years ago. The bubble is actually large tapioca pearls. We just moved and there is a place close to us that has it. Any excuse, I mean chance to go there I do.

I’d never heard of it so had to look it up. I don’t like tapioca in any form but I did learn something new – there is a Tea Bar not far from work which I never knew existed (where they have Bubble Tea). I may have to go check it out one of these days since it’s on a street I seldom go down. Good thing I looked up Bubble Tea or I might be missing out on some other great tea drinks. 🙂

Lemongrass sounds like a perfect reason to go into town to me! I’ve never had Bubble Tea but I’m always up to trying something new especially if it’s an “iced” anything, and I love Tapioca too. One of my daughters introduced me to Starbucks a few years ago and it was love at 1st sip of a double Carmel Frap. Unfortunately I have to go all the way into town to get one. However they are building one out here about 8 minutes from me! I’ve already informed my son and daughter in law that they will be stopping on their way to our house every time they come for a visit. I’m just so tickled they have already broken ground for it!!

The Thai restaurants that we frequent (in S. Calif.) call the 1/2″ tapioca pearls “boba”. Here, I think the recipe uses strong black tea sweetened with coconut milk. It has a smooth, strong sweet flavor, similar to a SB Frappecino, but without the ice. Yummy! $3.50 w/boba. Easy to make at home but high calories.
