Brown Sugar Milk Tea Fix at Tiger Sugar, Bonifacio High Street

It's been awhile since I've had Milk Tea on my mind and in my belly. In my former life (aka Fatty Days), I can chug cups of Milk Tea in a week with no remorse whatsoever. Fast forward to the last 2 years wherein I've managed to cut down my milk tea intake to once a month to almost none at all (*pats back*). But I'm afraid because of new circumstances, I am now back to my milk tea habit and it certainly did not help that new tea places have cropped up. 

After having lunch at Bonifacio High Street, it seemed as good time as any to visit this newly opened Milk Tea place. First thought that came into mind? "Ang haba ng pila!" ("The line's too long!") See picture below.

The line was snaking around the stall up until almost to the doors of Fully Booked; and it was already 2 in the afternoon. It seemed like drinking Tiger Sugar's Brown Sugar With Cream Mousse was in everybody's agenda for the day. 

Cooling Off at Gong Cha, SM MOA

After a Sunday lunch at Tajimaya (one of our favorites), we walked around the SM MOA complex. Due to the scorching heat, we were soon thirsty. Milk tea seemed the best way to beat the heat. We already tried Chatime so we were left with Gong Cha to try out.

 Bright and inviting, this was a good start. We had to wait for a few minutes because of the long line. Let's see if the drinks were worth it. 

Menu Board

Just like in other tea places, their drink selection was posted on a menu board. With lots of drink to choose from, we settled with our go-to flavors of Taro & Caramel Milk Teas.

Tea-rrific at Teaberi, A. Venue Mall Makati

Having had our fill from the nearby hotpot place (David's), we decided to cool off. Funny how as we turned the corner, this came into view. Yup, it's time for  another milk tea review.  

Teaberi, A.Venue Mall

Loved the no-fuss setup. They kept it simple yet classy. This is how drinking tea should make you feel, soothing & calming. Hmmm... couldn't wait to try one out. 

Green + White

Just like in other tea places, they also have tables & chairs for patrons who wants to stay and just hang out. But What made Teaberi different was their facade. The whole place was an order counter wherein the server opens one part of the window to get your order, closes it to make your drink & opens it again when done. Funky & functional in all the right places.
