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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm a milk tea fanatic ever since it became a trend in the Philippines. Even with the recent news…read moreof milk tea poisoning, it didn't made my love for tea wane even a bit. 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.

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.

I order the basic classic milk tea 75% to go (since the place is crowded at that time)…read more Compare to other popular milk teas, Tea Gumps is cheaper and the taste is almost the same. The place is along the main road of Taytay and the place is clean. The place is mostly crowded since most students stay there after class. Ideal place to bond with your friend.
