My thoughts:

I brought a friend here to introduce him to my favourite bubble tea drink – roasted milk green tea with grass jelly (less ice and no sugar). It probably sounds as bizarre to you as it did to him, so I ordered it for myself and let him have a taste. He wasn’t a big fan of it. He preferred his drink, coconut milk green tea with tapioca, which I thought was too sweet and tasted strange.

If you ever are in the area, though, trust me on this one and give my bizarre-sounding drink a shot. I’m willing to bet that after the first taste, you won’t think it tastes nearly as bizarre as it sounds. 

My only gripe is the price. My drink, a small, cost nearly $5! While the taste justified the price, I can only enjoy this drink every once in awhile, even though it is a short walk from my work. Also, be warned that at night, this place can get pretty busy and I often see long line-ups. We were lucky that we came in the early afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all.
