This is clearly a trendy spot, after seeing the pictures and hearing good reviews from the other…read morelocations, we visited Tiger Sugar in V City in Tuen Mun. There was a line of about 10 people when we arrived, but the line moved quickly and we had our drinks about 2 minutes after ordering. There were a lot of people working in the back and they do not allow custom orders, which makes things more simple, also it seemed most people ordered the same drink. We followed suit and also ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Milk tea with cream mousse. It was sweet without being overly sugary and a nice, smooth flavor, thanks to the creamed mousse. The boba was cooked nicely, chewy smooth texture all the way through. It also doesn't hurt that it looks very cool.

Since this place opened a few weeks ago, everytime I walk by during the work week, the lines and…read morecrowds are so long and so dense you would think that they are giving away free apartments here in Central. I am never one to wait in a line (life is short and I choose to not wait in lines), but by rare chance this weekend, we walked by and there was barely a line. When I asked my Chinese husband why this brand was so popular, he said that they are no more expensive than other bubble tea spots, but they use a better tea. Our tea drink cost $18HKD, plus an extra $4HKD for our pearl add on. You place your order from the street counter from their extensive menu, pay and then wait for your number to be called (they did request to see the receipt when we grabbed your drink, so be sure to not throw away or anything before you snag your beverage). The menu is in Chinese and English, it is clear to understand your options and you can always add pearls to any drink that might not already have them. Some drinks served with ice, others are not. We shared the lemon premium jasmine green teat (and added pearls) from the "suggested menu." It tasted like a really satisfying lemon shake-up (my Midwestern roots are showing!). Sweet, satsifying, very delicious. I also loved that it is served in a paper versus a plastic cup. An environmentally friendly niche can make someone like me more loyal to one brand over another. The shop is fronted by glass, so you can see the dozen or so employees almost surgically preparing the tea drinks. There were maybe 15 people mulling about ordering and waiting like us and it took maybe 8-10 minutes for us to get our drink. Not certain I would wait with the masses when they are super busy, but I will definately snag one on the times I see there is little to no line.

We took the red tea soy milk and lemon yakult drink. The red bean soy milk was amazing and the soy…read moremilk they use is of high quality: not too sweet and really has the soy bean taste.

To their credit, they have a lot of business here and they churn out those drinks quickly. There were a lot of people here, mostly waiting for their drinks. They have the brown sugar boba series, so I went for the Brown Sugar Boba Milk. I took it back to the hotel to drink and it went by quickly (get the large size I guess). Thing is for me, it's immensely sweet. Like insanely sweet. (I guess that's good because you get to taste the brown sugar?) so I would guess next time I would get it as half sweet if that's possible. The milk tea in itself tasted just alright haha. Their boba is pretty good though - comes out piping hot and chewy. Price for one of the drinks is $30HKD.

Woohoo! Everybody should know that there is a new cha FOR TEA opened together with the new Eslite…read moreSpectrum store. It is now very close to my neighbourhood and I would definitely come more often. Apart from my favourite bubble tea as well as Taiwanese drinks, this shop is also serving tea egg (Did I missed tea egg from other stores? I have never saw any) and ice cream. The other shop that serves ice cream would be the one in Ma On Shan. They got two flavours, green tea and oolong tea, for us to choose from. If you have never tried their ice cream, I highly recommend the oolong tea ice cream. It tastes really special, literally like iced oolong tea! You need to try it! P.S. The queue is much shorter here.

My friend's dad once told me that if you see a long line of Asians, it indicates two things: 1) food is good 2) food is inexpensive. Ten Ren is definitely both good and inexpensive. Drinks run to about $13-28. I ordered the green tea with honey. A very simple drink, but it was very good. Sometimes, although you order a honey drink, they just add sugar. Not at Ten Ren! I saw with my own eyes the barista add a generous dosage of honey into my drink. He then mixed it well, added ice, and then put it in the blender for a few seconds. The drink had a very strong tea aroma. You could also taste the honey well. Even when the ice melted a little, the tea flavor was still very good! Great place for any sort of tea. On display are many different types of teas that you can also buy to take home.

So as I was waiting for my family members shopping at iSquare I decided to wait in line and give it a go. We ordered the Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk (you can only get 2 of these/person) since this was the most popular drink I decided to order it. Once I started to drink it, it literally tasted like regular milk but it wasn't anything amazing. (I have yet to taste China's/HK's milk but MAYBE this milk taste better than the other milks they're selling?) the tapioca was average. Anyway waited in line for about 30 minutes for a cup of milk with tapioca, not worth it sorry T^T

I can't imagine anybody riding the MTR just…read moreto get to this Gong Cha, especially with all the different locations splattered around Hong Kong. But there is a location all the way here, I'm guessing for convenience! With the shopping outlet just around the corner and the buses that lead you to different destination spots in Hong Kong, Gong Cha is sure to lure you to buy a drink, especially since the drinks are quickly made, everything's fairly cheap, and the drinks are always on point. After exiting the MTR and making a right, you'll see the small Gong Cha storefront. There are signs plastered all over the windows that advertise their top bestselling drinks, but everybody seemed to be ordering a regular boba milk tea, so I followed their lead. Yep, the best boba milk tea I've had during my trip to Asia. Comparing to Coco's in Taiwan, Gong Cha's milk tea was stronger and more flavorful, coming very close to Half and Half's boba milk tea back in the States. I feel like all the tea drinks I've had in Asia (with the exception of China) were smooth, and this was no exception. Milk tea was smooth and flavorful, boba was cooked perfectly and retained the chewy quality. Only minor complaint is that they don't have mini pearls. And of course you're able to adjust the sugar and ice levels. I almost always ask for less ice. Overall, a solid tea place. Super handy if you're on the way to the outlets and want to get something to drink. There are definitely busy times - when school ends, when there's a rush of customers who just got off the MTR, etc. - but the workers are pretty fast and you'll get your drink within a few minutes.

I do appreciate the design of the Cha Long cups that makes it easier to drink the cheese top drinks, which has now become an art form.

Nice, Ten Ren Tea Station basically for Hong Kong, dubbed as 天仁喫茶趣. Based on multiple visits in the…read morelast 2+ years (plus having had Ten Ren drinks in Taipei) I have to say this location comes pretty darn close. Comparing Ten Ren tea drinks in Northern (and Southern) California to this Hong Kong location: Prices in Hong Kong are dirt cheap in comparison, nothing really above US$2 on average. Quality is easily x2 to x3 than that in NorCal (and quite possibly SoCal) Thus we pay x2 to x3 as much at 1/2 to 1/3 of the quality, bottom line. Employees are very efficient. A ten minute wait for a drink after paying, is considered a hellish wait even if the line seems long. Even if one of the employees is slacking off, he or she is washing/rinsing cups or blender vats in one hand, and surfing social media/checking texts with the other. Multi-task slacking and getting drinks out the door. And some of you out there have no qualms about 1.5 hour wait for ramen (or a food truck), or 45 minutes for a watered down tapioca milk tea drink. Sigh. This Ten Ren also has a limited selection of imported Taiwanese tea, tea snacks. Octopus (MTR/subway/public transportation) cards accepted for payment (stored value card). You can sip on your drink while browsing books and magazines in Eslite bookstore. Honey green tea, some matcha based drinks, even a classic like Chrysanthemum Pu-Er, are all very good. Honey green tea, even if semi diluted, is still better than the crap in the States....the Wattes....(like Lattes in coffee shops, except Watte is water with a shot of tea). What more can you ask for?

Also, it would be nice if they offer different milk options for the vegans out there!
