AMBIENCE It was freezing cold and very cozy by the couches…read more They had the usual big teddy bear near the entrance. BEVERAGE I got the usual Original Milk Tea since I was in the mood to keep things simple today. Like my last experience, it was cold and creamy. I managed to let this drink last for 3 hours because it was so tall (maior) and sips made me feel my money's worth. SERVICE One word: Efficient!

There are so many bubble tea places popping up here in the Philippines. I love it, but sometimes…read moreyou take chance at a new place and the drinks are "meh". I hate boba disappointments, but this place NEVER lets me down :). I like the quality, consistency and options of Macao. This location is my absolute favorite. It is IMPECCABLY clean and I love the decor. The staff is friendly and efficient. There were a few big rushes of customers who came in, and the line kept on moving quickly. Also, try the sansrival cake. It's one of the best I've had. It is super rich, so share with a friend or two and enjoy!

Before the milk tea craze, the fro-yos and the frappes, there were pearl shakes (shakes with sago…read moreas sinkers) and Quickly. Many drink varieties have come and gone, but Quickly remains my drink of choice when I'm (window) shopping at the mall. There's something about their drink that really makes me feel filled and refreshed. I love the Taro Ice Special, which consists of their signature taro ice, sago and nata, plus taro pudding. They have added new flavors to the mix, but I remain loyal to my Taro Ice. One time though their Taro wasn't available, I tried their Cantaloupe milk tea. That was refreshing too.

This is a very new business located along Russia street corner Saudi Arabia in Better Living…read moreSubdivision, Paranaque. Only a couple of months old, it was opened at the height of the milk tea scare that almost caused the milk tea houses all over Metro Manila to close shop. But the owners persisted and they kept their new business open in hopes of finding a steady clientele. I hope they succeed. Since it's located just beside Mr. Liempo where we are regular clients, I decided to give it a try. Or rather my wife decided to try it out, and I just took several sips of her milk tea. While she is an ardent lover of the various flavors available at Infinitea, she just had to try this new kid on the block. Well surprise, surprise. It's every bit as good as Infinitea. I have no idea what their secret is. I just know good milk tea when I taste it, and I've had my share of good and bad ones. Seasons Leaf is a small place. It looks like a typical apartment which was converted into a business. The only problem it faces is the large number of milk tea places in Better Living because as any marketing expert knows, having a good product is not enough. I'm hoping this place survives. They may need to add to their products because being a one-trick pony may not be good enough. As for me, everytime I buy a liempo at the stall beside them, I will give their other flavors a try.

Always a go to if I want some milk tea nearby…read more Favorite is Mocha Cookie Crumble. It kind of resembles an oreo frappe. Theres a place outside for the smokers. A nice a cold area inside that has some soft cushion chairs or regular tables and chairs. They offer some boardgames like boggle and chess. Don't forget to write on the wall! :)
