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!

Wasn't really impress. Not sure what was it, but the service was hella slow. Has to wait super long…read morefor one drink. Even though it wasn't that busy. 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. More milk than tea so was not a big fan. Bummer I like the other locations. But this one not so much.

Before I went on my trip to the Philippines I saw everyone all about this Macao Imperial Tea. I had…read moreto try it for myself since I love milk teas. I tried out the branch in SM Legaspi. I got the Cream Cheese Oreo Milk Tea. I loved every sip of it. It was very creamy, the sugar level was perfect and so did the ice and there was even oreo bits in the bottom of my cup.

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).

Used to love this place when it first opened!…read more Ordered Earl Grey Milk Tea with 50% sugar. I am not satisfied at all. I can only taste the milk and barely any tea. Does having 100% sugar have to secure the flavor of the beverage? My niece ordered a Chocolate milktea with pudding at 70% sugar and tasted so bland. Im not sure what happened with Gong Cha ATC but im not coming back.

The map on Yelp is very misleading. Gong Cha is in Alabang Town Center, not where the map pinpoints…read moreto. The wintermelon milk tea is too sweet for my taste, and because wintermelon is naturally sweet, there is no option to tone down the sugar. I am a little judgy because I've tried all the good teahouses in Shanghai. It is definitely better than the cheap milk tea made using milk powder.

Not happy at all with my drink of choice which was honey and calimansi. It tasted like rind, you…read moreknow like that bitter taster when you eat the white part of the orange. I felt like they blended the calimansi rind. The other thing I didn't like is the small boba. Too soft. Overall, I do like the place for their numerous drink choices, option to change the added sugar. They also have food upstairs. My choice of drink wasn't the best but only having the small type of boba was the bummer since it was too soft.

Probably because I trust the establishments where I get my milk tea.. and Lemon Baby is one of them. If you've been here before, you know that its easy to like it right away. Lemon baby has effortlessly become one of my favourite hang-out place. I like quiet places and its location fits the bill. I like to sit outside the while their adjacent car wash business service my car. They have an upstair open space where you can chill and read a good book. It's best during December nights when the breeze is cold. Imagine having a hot drink in your hand, and a book on the other. Right? Best setting ever. Their drinks are something of a masterpiece too. Their Chocolate Cake Milk Tea? Every sip gives you a mouthful mini marshmallows swimming in chocolate milk tea. My favourite, the Cake Milk Tea, is made of up of tini tapioca pearls and cake pudding, which you scrape off the sides of the cup, so that every taste is a merry marriage of textures. They offer a regular size cup for normal tea-sipping people but they also have a 1000cc for us addicts. If you can't imagine it by figures, think of a big ass cup that needs two hands to hold. Oh yeah.

My favorite milk tea place…read more I always get the coffee milk tea which is espresso based, not merely coffee flavoring. Remember you have the option for the amount of sugar. Some add-ons like coffee jelly are already sweet so you might want to go for less to zero sugar.

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.
