Te Milk Tea

This place serves Hong Kong-style milk tea, which I hadn't had before. I ordered the classic. It was not as sweet as I expected and had a good balance of milkiness and strong black tea. Unfortunately, this place doesn't really have room to sit and it takes around 7 minutes to prepare. My tea also had bubbles and the go cup they gave me wasn't set up for me to drink them. It was just a conventional to-go coffee cup without a straw hole big enough for the bubbles, resulting in the regular-side straw clogging as I walked down the street while sipping and when I tried to dislodge it, I got tea all over myself and the bubble escaped onto the sidewalk just as a little girl and her mom was walking by. The girl said "eeeewwww" as I tried to explain it was just tapioca.

Aside from the mishap, the tea was enjoyable, but it's too bad the shop itself isn't set up for sitting around and drinking it.

But the mishap made for a much better report. So many new things in Chinatown. Thanks.
