While we're a family of people who really love our sweet treats, I also have some rules in place that are meant to protect our daughter from getting too many cavities. Not wanting to be a "no fun" mommy though, I am notorious for bending those rules. So...after I'd had something of a long and stressful day, I decided to treat our little girl and myself to a bubble tea at the Richmond Oval location of Coco . As a way of minimizing the sugar intake (as well as the damage to my wallet), I told her that we would both share one drink. My little girl is becoming like me: a huge fan of brown sugar bubble tea drinks. She chose Brown Sugar Pearl Milk tea. So yummy and satisfying.
I used to never order pearls in my bubble tea drinks as I always found them to be too filling and when I order a drink, I'm usually just wanting a drink; not a meal. The pearls tend to make me feel like I've had a meal and then I don't have room to eat any food. For the most part, I still opt to skip the pearls most of the time. However, ever since I discovered brown sugar pearls, I sometimes have pearls in my drinks now. Regular pearls don't really have any taste to them, but I find the brown sugar pearls are so tasty that I don't mind filling my tummy with more than a drink once in awhile. I've come across the occasional shop where the brown sugar pearls weren't so stellar and I somewhat regretted ordering the drink and filling my stomach with them. The ones at Coco did not disappoint though. They were as tasty as they should be.
