That's more like it

Brisbane, AUS - Boba twice in two days. Not bad, huh? Brisbane boba part deux was infinitely more successful, even though it didn't involve a cute elderly Chinese couple. It's the trade-off, what can ya do.

BOBA BRIEFING
Name: Tea Bar (motto: "It's made in heaven")
Address:
Food court inside Queen St. Mall
Date visited: Wed., Aug. 14, 2008
Goes by: Bubble tea
Price: $3.60 AUD (~$3.15 USD)
Form: Milk tea, tea
Flavors: A couple dozen
Flavors tried: Green milk tea
Lid style: Sealed plastic wrap

Smiles:
  • Green milk tea flavor isn't bad, but tastes a bit watered down. Very Tapioca Express-esque.
  • Cups come with a handy "history of boba" blurb so accurate it could've been lifted from this blog. Impressive.
  • Cups also contain this text: "The pearls are made from cassava plant juice and are so addictive that they've been called the faux opium of the Orient." Lofty claim, but I guess it explains my addiction.
Scowls:
  • Scowling takes too much energy.
Most memorable bo-ment:
  • Thinking of one takes too much energy. This is a lazy post. Blame the opium.
Overall rating: 8/10
