THE SOUND OF A GONG

As I was about to go home, I passed through one of the most successful Nai Cha establishments named Gong Cha which I though was a Chinese Resto before considering the name though it sunk into my head that 'twas a Nai Cha shop because of the "cha" word in it. (funnily)

So here I go, GONG CHA!

Since their stall is small, I transformed the photo into a large one...

The line was just UGH. It's as if it's the only Milk Tea shop in Glorietta. I was in a hurry and I had my "MILK TEA CRAVING" turned on and Gong Cha was the nearest at that moment so I had no choice but to suffer waiting in line and waiting for their respective drinks like everyone else.

For people who's new to Gong Cha, Gong Cha is a milk tea establishment that serves different drinks including Milk Teas, Teas, Juices, Yakult mixes, and their specialty, Gong Cha cream drinks...

As for the drink, of course I'd order their specialty drink I loved about Gong Cha!

That special cream is just SPLENDID...

Gong Cha - Gong Cha Earl Grey Specialty Tea (having Gong Cha on the first means it has the special Gong Cha cream)

- Overall flavour with cream = 8.5

- Gong Cha Cream = 5

- Amusement = 4

Professional Judgment = Their specialty drink is just amazing! I may not know how they make that special cream but it just has a really great taste that allows the tea itself to turn into milk tea by mixing it (adding up some amusement for the drinker and interact with the drink). The tea itself is tasty to be honest (I was actually ordering Matcha, but stocks were empty for Matcha tea, so I just chose Earl Grey). The drink is really unique in it's way because of the Gong Cha cream and may not look like Milk Tea at first since it looks like plain tea with whipped cream on top. The Gong Cha cream has some slight sourness if taken in pure but give a tasty creamy flavour to the tea/drink.

GONG CHA CREAM IS LOVE! CHEERIO!

APOLOGIZED SLEEPING

I'm posting this random-ness TEAliling post for doing the wrong thing that I can't seem to get off my mind and that I can't take off the guilt in me even though it's really ok and fine for that groupmate of mine in a project. I did my part well but did something bad...

I SLEPT

Since I promised that I'll wait for my groupmate to go back so that we could finish the project (though my groupmate told me that it'll last for about 2 hours only), my groupmate went back online at a later time and I didn't know that I already slept unconsciously...

All I can do that morning when I finally woke up was to

'cause I'm really sorry about the thing I've done and I didn't want that to happen!!! T__T

After apologizing, my groupmate still pointed out the good things I've done for the group since I did more than what my parts are in the group but I still have this guilt inside me...

All I could do was to give a big

for myself...

*SIGH*

SORRY DENZEL KURT P. SIY 

(yeap, that's my groupmate! the master of all masters! he looks like this emoticon ------> -__-)

PAO PAO PEARL

SORRY FOR THIS QUICK POST! I'm in a hurry as of the moment...

hmm...

PaoPao Xiaochi Pearl Milk Tea

- Yummy-ness = 7.5

- Pearliness = 4.5

- Wallet Friendliness = 5

Quick Professional Judgment = Flavour is good but could be better. Should've been really tasty just like their Taro Milk Tea. As usual, their Pearls are top-notch and tasty which I love. Best part = it's really wallet friendly! It's cheap in terms of price but flavorful and authentic as well!

Sorry again! Time for me to say CHEERIO early!

CONTROLLED ZOMBIFICATION

CONTROLLED ZOMBIFICATION YOU SAY?

Drinking nonstop coffee while doing important work and listening to LOUD and UPBEAT music will give you that power to control your zombification...

Perfect when doing long projects or when finishing projects overnight... though it'll make you face like

and you'll worse than someone drunk (post-drinking), though not always...

And when zombifying yourself, don't forget to check out this guy when going to the bedroom...

CHEERIO!

PS: I'm apologizing now if you got scared, I really do... SORRY!

TRIO CHA

Just a very quick blog post here!

Me' close blockmates, Mike and 'Stelle, just happened to pass by ChaTime at One Archer's Place and drank Milk Tea. I had the courage to order a really weird drink that' rarely ordered... Here I go!

Left one = Mike's... Middle one = Mine... Right one = Stelle's

For the drink names...

Mike's = ChaTime Banana Cocoa Smoothie (he doesn't order smoothies much so he must be excited about this)

Mine = ChaTime TieGuanyin Tea Latte (told ya!)

Stelle's = ChaTime Mango Slush with extra Pearls (yeap, she never ordered anything different other than this... her so called "THE USUAL" ChaTime drink)

Time for a short Milk Tea, I mean, Tea Latte Judgment...

ChaTime TieGuanyin Tea Latte

- Weird Drink Flavour Level = 7.5

- After-Taste shizznits = 5

- Wallet HP = 3

Short Professional Judgment = 'Twas my first time drinking this drink and I was really happy about it. The score may be a little off but it's really tasty, plus the weird after-taste of TieGuanyin made it a really fun experience drinking. The price is "ok" for such a drink. An overall weird but good drink...

CHEERIO!

TIME TO SHARE YOUR TEAS

Well, whenever I buy Milk Tea, I really do share my Milk Tea with my friends as long as they're not "LC" or conscious when something like straws or ice creams are already licked or has some small amounts of saliva of another person. Good thing some of my friend's do not mind my saliva, and not to worry since I regularly brush my teeth and keep it fresh and clean!

So much for that! It's time for me to feature another Milk Tea establishment I've bumped onto when I was strolling Hong Kong although I wasn't aware of the street during this time, I hope you can forgive me.

It's time to feature, SHARE TEA!

I'm pretty sure the writing on top means SHARE TEA as well...

I was surprised that we found another OTG Milk Tea establishment while strolling around the streets of Hong Kong during a Saturday afternoon. 'Twas really cold during that time (approximately 9-10 degrees Celsius!) but we never hesitated to stop by for Milk Tea despite the coldness.

Their menu is, in Chinese once again... *sigh*

Looks like there's an interesting promo and a QR Code! 

(if only I could understand that)

Onto my drink...

The drink looks pretty common yet it manages to prove something.

SHARE TEA Number 13 (Tapioca Milk Tea with Mixed Pearls)

- Hong Kong Milk Tea Flavour = 7.5

- Mixed Pearls = 4

- It's a Hong Kong drink! = 4

Professional Judgment = Yeap, I know I have my standards but it's pretty much our typical Milk Tea bough in HK. Though I have to admit that I just had a few sips since dad considered it very tasty considering not being much of a Milk Tea fan, it really has the authentic Hong Kong feel and taste but other than that, it's just Hong Kong Milk Tea. still loved it anyways. I was thinking that their other drinks would stand out, considering the menu... (we'll soon find out, if I can go back in HK)

Well, so much for Hong Kong talk, time for me to say, CHEERIO!

I AM LOST IN HONG KONG

PS: I WAS NEVER LOST IN HONG KONG, SO DON'T WORRY

Pardon me for being excited with this post but, it's because it'll be my first time blogging and featuring an international drink!!! Yeap, my family and I visited Hong Kong for some particular reason, but of course, food tripping would never be out of the list when going abroad aight?

Chinese peeps strolling and eating around Soy Street

So, my mom, my bro, and I was strolling around Soy Street and I found this pretty interesting and big Milk Tea Establishment. Time for me to meet my first milk tea at Hong Kong, COME BUY.

Yeap, Chinese menu...

HD Screens are good examples of customer attracting paraphernalia

When I was trying to order, I wasn't as confident as I am considering not everyone knows English. I was hoping I'd be lucky enough on what to order through the menu but the full Chinese menu just made me lose every inch of hope I have left. Luckily they have an English menu on the actual counter and took me a while before I finally chose my drink considering the very unique drinks I'm not familiar as compared to local ones and the toppings are just plenty to choose from.

Just like most Milk Tea shops, they have their customization options as well...

I was hoping to capture and read as much labels as I can considering this is very new to me but, I ignored most considering they're in Chinese and I cannot read such so...

Honestly, the menu was really exciting as they have so much kinds of Milk Tea drinks as well as variations of classic drinks. The menu was large but each drink seems to be very unique from each, not just the usual flavour addition via fruit or whatever.

ANYWAY! Onto my drink...

Left: My First "LITERAL" Hong Kong Milk Tea!

Right: Top view of my first "LITERAL" Hong Kong Milk Tea

COME BUY Hong Kong Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearls and Noodles

- LITERAL Hong Kong Authenticity Flavour = 9

- Noodles Oodles = 5

- Different Feeling = 4

Professional Judgment = Aside from the fact that it's my first literal Hong Kong Milk Tea, it's taste was just premium. The flavour of the milk tea as is is very great. What intrigued me is "noodles". I have to admit that I love noodles per se from the different soup noodle dishes including ramen, udon, soba, ramyun, and so much more, I never imagined noodles being a topping of milk tea (the noodles were Soba I think) but it really gave it a very unique experience for me, added the fact that it's really tasty as well!

Yeap, I don't see any mistakes with my name considering I can't understand the receipt...

That stainless steel counter is just plain sexy... oops, I mean, stylish

I apologize for the long blog post but I really had fun trying different food and drink (milk tea of course!) at Hong Kong. Join me next time for more Milk Tea goodness!

CHEERIO!
