A stranger...

Well, this is a DRINK post FYI... Title went like that since the drink featured isn't a milk tea as what I usually post. I am to be featuring now a drink from a stall named "Taro Shii". They have a wide range of drinks but are mostly mixed flavoured shakes as well as ice-blended drinks and hot drinks.



Taro shii, you have my first non-milk tea drink featured

'Twas a bit of a hectic day when I found Taro shii since it was about an hour before my Accounting subject departmental examinations. Good thing was I found something good to drink to at least liven up my mood to review and give me some choco-power before an examination (it's my habit to eat/drink something chocolate before an examination, like a ritual...) It was something new at an eating area near my school so I went there to try this one up.

 Despite their soft opening, they're serving full-time 
and the choices of drinks are looking pretty...

Since I do not know what to order and it was quite a hot day that time, I ordered an ice-blended drink called "monkey"-something (forgot the name). The staff of the stall were very nice and gave me a smile while making and serving up my drink before leaving towards the table where my friends are. It costed me P85 (sounds pricey eh? but no) and gave me a choco-banana drink of goodness. It consists of dark chocolate, nutella (THIS!), banana, and milk blended into ice topped off with whipped cream and chocolate chips.

Taro shii "Monkey"-something...
Overall Taste = 8 pts.
Nutella = 4 pts.
Not a milk tea drink = 3pts.
Professional Judgment: The nutella gave the drink a good kick to the actual dark choco-banana taste. Despite the nutella yuminess, it needs more nutella as other people may not taste the nutella if you'd not drink the drink wholely (I mean, if you just sipped, you wouldn't taste as much the nutella). The whipped cream, surprisingly, was tasty unlike most whipped creams you'd find on most cafes.

Well, that's it for now... CHEERIO!
