Be bubbly @ the Candy Café
Bubble tea lovers, rejoice! Here is another bubble tea address!
My friend Melody found it for us. Hidden in a corner of Chinatown, you could actually walk past without noticing the colorful sign leading you to the first floor. Take the table near the window – lovely view one of the sculpted doors of the neighbourhood!White walls, modern, lots of light. Not your expected Chinese cafe. But do not worry, the menu certainly is exotic enough and we were the only two European looking sitting there. Everything is trasnlated in English of course and the staff is adorable and discreet.
You now get three different options:
o Bubble juice – fruit juice and tapioca pearls
o Bubble tea –fruit juice, black or green tea and tapioca pearls
o Bubble milk – that one’s new to me, flavoured milk and tapioca pearls
Even better, those can be served cold or hot. By 25 degrees, the choice was pretty obvious but I can’t wait for a rainy day as an excuse to go back and try the other version.
And 30 flavours to choose from! Watermelon, honey peach, coconut, kiwi, passionfruit, green apple…
Verdict : the mago bubble tea is very velvety and you could drinks liters of the red plum bubble juice. Somehow you could stay there all day. the drinks are served in sundays kind of glasses are certainly are the best I have tried so far. Even the tapioca pearls are just the way they should be, chewy but not too much.
The menu also proposes a wide range of Eastern deserts I will need to come and taste - this makes me so curious: soya milk with jelly? Tapioca pearls desert with syrup? Coconut jam? It looks straight out of a manga and even if you are not convinced, your mind switches on the I wonder how its tastes? mode…
Add to that the free wifi - I’m surprised they don’t propose fidelity cards yet!
