Drink of the town. Nope I didn’t queue for the one in Singapore. I found it by accident at 臺中’s 一中街 and since it’s the hot thing now in SG, I should really try the original drink right? So some have asked me how is it, I shall only comment on this, please don’t make reference to the Singapore version although it’s the same brand.
I was puzzled why I was told to wait for 25 minutes when it’s not new in Taiwan, only to realize it’s because the boba pearls are cooked in small batches to ensure freshness, so the drinks are produced in batches. In fact, I waited for merely 15-20 mins. As with many other brands that offer this popular drink, the ‘tiger stripes’ of this dirty drink are hand-drawn using the brown sugar syrup before pouring the cold fresh milk in. The steps to drinking it the proper way is to shake 15 times such that the creamy milk and the brown sugar mix well before you enjoy it as a whole.
I love the bigger size and chewy texture of the boba pearls. And honestly, although thickly coated with the caramelized brown sugar, the boba pearls weren’t overly sweet. So yes, I enjoyed the drink a fair bit! But if you asked me if I’d queue for it in Singapore, probably not.
