The Originator of Bubble Milk Tea

Fabulous Bubble Milk Tea!

Chen Shui Tang is what it is: They literally invented and popularized Bubble Milk Tea, and they still make a fantastic version of it. Yes, it's expensive and yes, the food is prepared in a central kitchen and shipped to each location. But the tea...More

Great bubble tea

As usual, great bubble tea. Ordered a bowl of beef noodle but feels only average. A 30 mins walk if you are coming from miyahara. A must visit if you want to sample the original bubble tea from Taiwan!
