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.

Many seats are available since they have six-seater benches from ground to second floor, though I still haven't seen what's on the third yet. 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!

We were so happy to find this boba shop in the bustling SM Mall of Asia! It was the perfect spot to…read moregrab a refreshing fruit tea while shopping with friends and family! Service was alright, nothing to write home about. Friendly though so can't ask for much else. They have some seats you can sit on while waiting for your number to be called so that's nice! I ordered their Wintermelon Mango Tea with mango jelly and it was soooo good! Such a great combo, I could taste both the wintermelon and the mango and the mango jelly was the cherry on top! It was nice, cold, and refreshing which was exactly what we needed to escape from the Philippine heat! So glad I could've treated my family with tasty, refreshing drinks during the holiday season! Thank you Tiger Sugar!!

Super excited to find this boba shop while exploring Mall of Asia - always a fan of their boba!…read more I've always been a fan of any of their brown sugar drinks, and they did not disappoint on this visit either. Just the right amount of sweet, refreshing, and with great boba. It was the best stop so we had a drink to enjoy while walking around the Mall of Asia. Definitely a smaller stand, and while it wasn't busy when we were there, I'd imagine it can get pretty packed when the line starts forming. A good choice for some delicious boba.

Cute little boba shop located in S'Maison mall, right around the corner from Conrad Hotel. They're…read moreopen fairly late which was convenient. I had been craving milk tea since I got to the Philippines (and all the time, who am I kidding?) so I stopped into the first shop I walked by. The staff helping me were hardly able to answer my questions (not because of language but simply not knowing their menu) as I ordered, but they were nice enough. They don't have a huge variety of flavors, but enough to find something you'll like. I opted for the taro matcha milk tea with coconut jelly because I'm not a fan of tapioca. It was the perfect amount of sweetness! They're also really cheap, at least compared to prices in the US. They probably aren't the best boba shop in Manila, but it satisfied my craving!

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.

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!

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!

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).

Brown Sugar Pearl Milk was creamy, sweet, just right and worth trying, but not worth lining up for if there were ten or more people ahead of us.

I tried their food for the first time with a friend who's not really into bubble or milk tea. Or…read moreany kind of tea for that matter. I suppose iced tea is an exception but eh. The atmosphere in this branch is pretty nice; It's more spacious compared to the Megamall branch, which is cramped and I dunno. Maybe I just like high ceilings. I wasn't very familiar with their food so I ordered a relatively safe choice: chicken doria. Chicken! It's basically rice topped with mozzarella cheese, chicken fillet (I'm pretty sure they grilled it), teriyaki sauce, and some sesame seeds and parsley. It's pretty cheap, around Php 245 pesos. I ordered the Yocca Tea Slush for my friend. My chicken doria was amazing. I didn't get to finish the whole bowl because the serving was too much for me, but it was very good. I love how the teriyaki sauce worked well with the cheese! Too bad I didn't get to confirm whether or not it was really mozzarella. My friend also enjoyed her drink (mostly because it tasted like Yakult, and not a hint of tea) which was a huge improvement.

It was late at night, and we were looking for a place in BGC for dessert. The brightly-lit Tokyo…read moreBubble Tea immediately caught our attention. My friend said she had tried it before. The place was big - bigger than any milk tea place I've been to so far - and it has crisp white interiors. I found out that the reason it must be big is because they don't just serve milk teas, but full meals, with an extensive menu. They have salad, pasta, burgers, sandwiches, donburi (Japanese rice toppings), and even Korean food like bibimbap. And they have a cake display too. I don't remember the milk tea we got, but to me it tasted like the tea in the usual milk tea places I've been to, like Serenitea and Infinitea. It was the bubbles that were a bit different. They were soft, and yes, bubbly. We shared a chocolate cake, which was just good enough for two people as it was so decadent I'm not sure if I would be able to finish it alone in one sitting. It's more of a dark chocolate (the kind of chocolate I like!) with a creamy filling and some shaved chocolate on top, plus cocoa dusting.
