So everyone was all, you must check out this bubble tea place.

The line is worth the 20 minute wait, they say. 

Lucky for me, I was able to pull up and the line was only out to the door. 

The decor is very zen and tea oriented.  

I got the orange osmanthus with boba.  The tea is smooth, the boba is just, well, boba.  I think I would've preferred the tea by itself better.  The tea is good, but not sure if it's Michelin Star good. 

I do like the atmosphere, the place is nice.  If you want to hang for an afternoon, this would be a good spot, especially after all the yummy food in the center this is located.   It's a good end of a meal.

Stopped by to get a drink. 

I decided to get the Green Thai Tea

Never had that before, but I love how it's all different colors before I mix it all up. 

So the flavor is pretty good, less sweet than the regular Thai tea, but also have a bit different texture than Thai tea, presumably from the matcha powder mix.  Less sweet over all, good option to have.  I originally going to mung bean milk tea, but this was a good alternative.

Snowy Village

Went back to Snowy to grab a quick drink.

Got my regular Red Dragon.  I just love how the Topo Chico and Grenadine mix together.  Definitely like the little bits of strawberries floating around.  Less chewy than boba, and more refreshing than milk-based drinks.  Nothing against milk teas, sometimes you just want something light and easy going.  This just fits the bill.

Tiger Sugar

I don't usually go to Tiger Sugar, but if you put Hello Kitty on it, I'll be there!

They did a collaboration with Hello Kitty.  The first day of roll out the line was around the corner, which in this heat, I gave up. 

Came back after hearing that they had restocked, but I was back too late.  So got a Milk Tea instead.  There's a trick, you have to shake it 15 times for it to be ready to drink.  It's awfully specific instructions, but it worked.  The drink mixed well to taste.

Came back a second time after hearing they restocked (again), and I got Mango Sago.  It has a nice mango taste to it, but not a lot of sago to speak off, it has mango jelly, which is a nice touch.  Again, shake it 15 times to mix well.

I finally got my hands on what I came here for: the 3D Hello Kitty drink holder.  The Hello Kitty head is the side and there's a handle, so if your drink sweats, it has a holder and you don't have to hang on to it all the time.  Besides that, you can also get the cups too.

It's great to have a bubble tea place at Marq-E.  Though, I wouldn't complaint if they have ice cream in this heat.

At any rate, came in to cool off a bit.  They have board games and stuff, if you're going to hang there a bit.

I got the Kiwi Basil Green Tea, I like that they have little bits of Kiwi, thinking the Basil is just to cut the sweet, but it worked out fine.  Not too sweet, great for flavor tempering.  Fast service that day, we happen to catch them before a crowd walked in.
