BEVERAGE Hojicha was bitter, perfectly iced and super good! SERVICE Server did a super good job! Before my transaction, I found out he took care of a man's cellphone and helmet until he returned to claim them. While buying, he informed me their cups are reusable and can help me save Php10 per next order. Plus, he was very informative about them being the first branch to serve food, noodles to be more specific. Then he also promoted the new Royal Thai Tiger and Black Tiger beverages without rushing through the details. That's just awesome!

Something about the boba, it wasn't chewy and definitely overcooked. All stuck together, I had to keep stirring so I can drink it all. The tea was ok, it was weak tea flavor.

One uncommon thing served here is Brown Sugar Pearls but, sad to say, they were out of stock. We were wondering if the time was a factor but it was 1:00 pm, and not a good time to run out. Lemon Green Tea was our choice since this type is usually more refreshing for us than milk tea. Of course, milk tea is already listed for next visit! Flavor hit the spot nicely even though the taste was a bit different (in a good way).

Truth be told, I've only ever ordered one thing here: the WINTERMELON TEA (take note, this is different from the highly popular Wintermelon Milk Tea, which all milk tea shops seem to have a version of). The Wintermelon Tea is just that: iced tea in a cup. But what makes the world of difference is the milk foam they top the drink with. I've tried other brands but none comes close to the thick, slightly salty and creamy foam used by Gong Cha, both flavor- and texture-wise. Don't be surprised if you find yourself tearing off the sealed plastic lid of yout drink to get your finger on the foamy goodness inside (the straw doesn't quite manage to clean it up). Been there, done that. It wasn't pretty, but it was oh-so-satisfying. I can't wait to try again!

Koomi isn't a milk tea place. I'd foolishly thought it was when I first caught sight of it because…read moreof the signage. Drinks. Mixed drinks. And then I saw the cow and my insides shriveled. A milk bar? My lactose intolerance said no. Stay away. Stay far away. But the longer I lingered, the more I noticed something else: it wasn't milk. The white stuff was thick. Scoopable. Yogurt. Koomi sold yogurt. Count me in. I'm a sucker for yogurt. Even more a sucker for yogurt with fruit mixed in. They had other things too, like dates and pistachio and oat (even the oh so popular activated charcoal) but I went with strawberry and watermelon. What can I say? I have my usuals. Once your order is placed, you're given a choice between Aussie blend yogurt (which is more tart) and Filipino blend (which is - go figure - more sweet). I say go with the tart. This entire concoction is then sweetened with natural fruit honey. What you get is a nice yogurt smoothie which isn't too heavy on the stomach and still has those nice flavorful bits. My only gripe with the entire experience was the wait. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the number of people working the counter but the expected wait time was about twenty minutes per serving. Don't get me wrong, the staff was working as fast as they could. It could also have something to do with the time and day I was there. Thankfully they have seats and a clear monitor that displayed where your order number was in the queue. All in all, not for the impatient or in a hurry but the end product is definitely worth it.

Tiger Sugar is the latest seller that has arrived in Metro Manila. When I first saw this place I saw a long line that ran almost in front of Fully Booked along High street. I decided not to try it then as it was a Saturday and the wait would be way too long. I waited till Tuesday night to try it out when the line was not too bad. The Milk tea was definitely milky and you can taste the strong brown sugar. My parents enjoyed the drink and like the small pearl sized boba that they don't normally try regularly. In Closing, I enjoyed Tiger Sugar's Milk tea with brown sugar and would highly recommend curiously people to try it. Just don't expect a short wait in line to get it (especially on Weekends!)

There's a reason. It's delicious. We also ordered the brown sugar pearl milk 50% sugar which was perfect and heavenly. I can't even imagine what 100% would taste like. This place looks relatively new, so make sure to come and support them. Just not between the hours of 11-12, that's my time.
