Taiwan Bubble Milk Tea: Share Tea & Mr.Wish

8 Comments

Alright, now in the market I cannot remember how many brands I have come across and had tried how many already, since after Chatime started in Malaysia last year and Taiwan bubble tea industry in Malaysia had boom just like that. Just about a year, you can now find more than 10 Taiwanese bubble milk tea are in the market and many of them also mention no.1 in here and there. Share Tea.

[Update] Mostly closed down

Another new brand that pop out in my office area is this brand called Share Tea since 1992 and its Taiwan No.1 brand that had just landed with their first outlet in Sungai Wang.

I was at Sunway Pyramid last weekend and walking alone to do some christmas shopping saw another new brand of bubble milk tea Mr.Wish located at the old wing or infront of Nando’s.

mr (1)

The outlet itself attracted me and after browsing thru their menu, this is one of the milk tea shop that offers something different that capture my attention is their fruit tea series.

mr (2)

Something that is not the same compare to many other outlet as they have Tea Latte, Fruit Tea and on that day I just decided to try out their Fruit Tea special.

mr (3)

My order is Lychee Fruit Tea with Pulp, which is a bit special compare to other brand and honestly, so many brands in the market, this Mr.Tea Fruit tea series stood up in my own personal chart, strong tea taste with a hint of lychee at the end of the taste, very refreshing and get to bite some of the fruit pulp. RM6.90.

I am looking forward to try their other flavours especially on their tea and milk tea series~

Hong Kong Bubble Milk Tea – Dong Cha @ IOI Mall, Puchong

No Comments

It is very funny that how year 2011 suddenly boom with so many international franchise bubble milk tea in Malaysia, especially those brand from Taiwan. First start off with Cha Time, Gong Cha and a few more brands from Taiwan, then come Ochado from Japan and now Dong Cha is from Hong Kong.

Dong Cha (1)

Whenever I drop by IOI Mall Puchong, I tend to try out this brand more and found that they have some good drinks. Dong Cha is located at the Ground Floor of new wing in IOI Mall, nearby the escalator.

Dong Cha (2)

Dong cha have something different compare to other bubble milk tea outlet is that they have this little snacks, Wagashi that is made fresh right in front of your eyes that is a assorted hot cakes filled with different fillings in it.

Dong Cha (3)

I read in the net, saying that Wagashi is from Taiwan that makes a little combination of Taiwan and Hong Kong in Dong Cha.

Dong Cha (4)

They have a few flavors and size to chose as in this picture is the Jumbo Wagashi

Dong Cha (5)

  • Jumbo Cream
  • Belgium Chocolate With Cream
  • Italy Coffee With Cream
  • Matcha Red Bean With Cream
  • Peanut Cream With Mochi

Dong Cha (7)

quite a huge range of drinks to choose from in Dong Cha.

Dong Cha (8)

Compare with other outlet, I like their Moose Tea which the tea flavor is more thick, the creamy filling that mix along does not make it too milky and its just nice. If you are saying Moose tea version, Dong Cha stood up.

Dong Cha (6)

Price is very reasonable and for around RM5 you can get a big cup already.

Dong Cha (9)

Then Kelly have never tried this brand of Milk Tea before, she decided to give it a try. End Result, my fav brand still the best in Original Pearl Milk Tea.

Dong Cha (10)

Kelly and her drink

Dong Cha (11)

And as we were very full from our dinner, we opted to try the Wagashi in smaller version.

Dong Cha (12)

No doubt that the aroma of the Wagashi is very very nice in smell, texture is like cake and do not eat it while it hot, just let it cool down a bit and it will taste much better. We tried, their Original Flavour, Chocolate and Peanut. I like Peanut and Original flavor more.

Well, its another bubble milk tea brand for you to try out.

Zen Q Taiwanese Desert @ Sunway Pyramid

No Comments

I guess by now most of you out there already have your favourite taiwanese drink, where some of my friends love ChaTime, Gong Cha, and a few other brands and I am sure that we are all spoilt with choices with the latest addition of another Taiwanaese brand Desert which had just landed to Malaysia which is Zen Q Desert also origins from Taiwan and this is their first outlet in Sunway Pyramid.

[Close down]

zenQ (1)

I would rate this shop more like a Chatime and Snowflakes cross over to come out this if you are saying on our local market that filled with Taiwanese desert brand.

zenQ (2)

More on green colour on ceiling and wall also on their bar counter.

zenQ (3)

They do not have long list of menu but a menu which is simple enough for us to make our choices.

zenQ (4)

After you place the order, the people from the bar counter will start to prepare accordingly.

zenQ (5)

zenQ (6)

zenQ (7)

Our first try order for the night is : ZenQ Signature

zenQ (8)

ZenQ Signature that comes with taro, grass jelly, pearl crystal jelly and a few more

zenQ (9)

The ice base is covered with grass jelly flavour, taro balls is quite chewy and like the crystal noodle as overall i prefer snowflakes brand over this.

zenQ (10)

This is something which I do not really enjoy is this Taro Sago @ RM 6.90 where the base is filled with sago then taro base soup is pour ontop. For the first few sips it taste awefully good, as the time proceed, I find it more and more ‘jelak’ as we only manage to eat halfway true. I do not know how to enjoy this.

zenQ (11)

One thing I am really impress of this brand is their drinks series, which we bought ‘Milk Tea’ which really can be on par with Chatime that the taste is quite strong in taste, not too milky n sweat and ‘Aiyu Baby Pearl Winter Melon Tea’ is the best Winter Melon Series so far that easily beats all other outlets. [email protected] RM 5.90  (in my opinion haaaa. . .) – recommended

Yay, now I do have another brand to choose from, and you are seriously pampered with many choices.

Food Rating 7/10, quite good, i don mind to come again~ -Stamped-

Taiwanese Bubble Milk Tea – Gong Cha (貢茶) @ The Gardens

No Comments

It seems that Taiwanese  bubble milk tea seems like the latest trend to hit in Malaysian shores. First was Cha Time to boom in the market, then few months down the road, next brand that my friends talk about is this latest brand in the market Dong Cha which is also origins from Taiwan, also I realize that there are a few more brands opening up within this 2 months. . Gong Cha (貢茶) which origins from Kaohsiung in Taiwan since 2006 then start from 2009 they have bubble to Asians countries like Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and a few more. Hit to Malaysia few months ago

gong cha (1)

gong cha (2)

This is how Gong Cha outlet looks like in The Gardens, Mid valley which located at 1st floor if I am not mistaken it is located on 2nd floor on Paparich/Digi/Maxis that wing.

gong cha (3)

This on the wall would be their signature drink and its the same like all Taiwanese bubble milk tea, you get to choose your level of  sweetness level – no sugar, 30%, 50%, 70% and full sugar.

Seems like they are quite famous for their Signature Milk Tea and the ways to drink it:

  1. Milk moustache – without stirring, sip the freshly brewed tea from top layer of milk foam.
  2. Tea off – without stirring, slurp the tea from the bottom with a straw to savour the freshness and complexity of the tea.
  3. All in one – Stir both layers together and enjoy a perfect blend of milky froth and aromatic tea!

gong cha (4)

So I ordered and tried their signature drink which I am quite satisfied when I order in their another outlet in SS15.. Since I want to intro this to my friend we decided to try out this branch . .

I would say that I am just very disappointed with the drinks that they have in this branch compare to the one I tried in SS15 as the taste differ so much. My friend just had her Oo Long Tea  a few sips then she gave me the whole cup and I tried it, its like putting milk in plain water and stir it.. Then I throw it away. The Green Tea I had was quite disappointing as well . .

To me I find it weird that how can the quality differ from both branches? I guess that their worker did not train well to mix the whole ingredient well . .  Well well, I should give them another try on their Gardens outlet again . .

Besides that, some of my friends prefer Gong Cha over Cha Time. .  Depends on your preference oh~

Bandung Trip – Morning Breakfast at Warung Kopi Purnama –> Mie Rica Kejaksaan –> Amanda Brownies Kukus

No Comments

On our very next morning, woke up early and Agnes came by and bring us to breakfast hunting. .  So the very first shop mention by her is one of her favourite that served quite authentic style of Bandung Style Breakfast. . .

A few street shots on the way to our first stop. .  .

Early morning people stop by at newspaper street stand to read the latest news. . .

then saw this stall sell this quite unique cake and it smells nice. . . so I bought a piece to try out .. which is located right infront of the shop . . .

We had reach our first stop of the day Warung Kopi Purnama which is located at Jalan Alketeri 22. . .

 with a few paintings on the wall .. .

Even some people just sit outside of the shop to enjoy the morning chit chat and tea. . .

I just love this place, which is classic out of town coffee shop feel

Even their early morning kopitiam culture and ours is pretty much the same where our parents or grand parents would love to sit and hang out to chat with their friends in the morning before heading to work or after shopping from wet market .. .

This is their menu offer in the Warung. . .I felt that its more like our Hailanese Breakfast just that its in Indonesian style .. .

This is the pancake that sell outside the house, which is very nice in aroma, well mixture of ingredient then baked in between iron rod with outer layer very crips and soft inside with a bit of custard cream . . Nice. . .

Kick start our breakfast with Tea, and their tea is a bit mild that taste a bit like taiwan bubble milk tea. . .

Roti Dadar Ham is piece of bread wrap with a thin layer of egg then add on with chunks of ham. . .just dip it with chili sauce will be very simple and nice. .

Risoles is more like a breaded pastry that coated with breadcrumbs and filled with their own ingredient then deep fried. Something new to me ..  and we finish it within seconds. .. To me, it is like a popiah with a bit gravy ingredient inside. ..

I seldom miss out this which is ‘Roti Cheeze Bakar’ with butter spread at the bottom and lots of fine sherreded cheeze on top`

Otak-otak in Bandung is something new to me in the taste. Very sticky in texture,  with no hint of spices in it and it is not my preference. . .

After the first round, we head to next destination , Mie Rica Kejaksaan at Hyper Square. . . ..

A shop where served most of its food spicy and there are a few levels for you to choose from . .

that can select a few types Mie Rica the original, Mie pedas Udang Goreng and a few more. .

signature of the shop is their chili or sambal paste. . .

We order Mie Rica with spiciness of level 3 ..  and a bowl of additional gravy then you can add more of the sambal into your noodle if you feel that you can take more spiciness. ..  I had only 2 bites and I am KO’ed. . It was so spicy but the taste is so good, noodle was springy and I am sweating away while eating this.

If you do come to Bandung.. This is a shop you must not miss. . .Mie Rica @ Hyper Square .. .

After the meal, we then walked opposite the shop to buy one of their local desert Amanda Brownies Kukus. . .

many types of pastries to choose from  . .. . .

and the Brownie Kukus are available in so many flavour. ..  I bought the Choco Marble and I find it very sweet, nothing much to boast a bout. . .

It was super full or super heavy breakfast then we will go for a stroll at the non-active volcano . ..

Nice Bubble Milk Tea Chatime from Taiwan had landed @ Pavilion

57 Comments

For me, I would say I am a big fan of bubble tea. Still miss the time when I was studying in Melbourne and take bus back to my house will pass by this bubble tea located at Box Hill Train Station which will definitely walk pass by there. Me and my housemate got addicted till we had 4-5 cups a week till we know most of the people working in there and get to have special mix combination that not in the menu. Chatime had landed in Malaysia.

chattime

After so long, to get a very nice bubble tea in KL is very hard, not until recently I heard one of my friend mention that one of our friend opening a famous Bubble Tea from Taiwan very soon and asking me to watch out. It was not till I heard they are the master owner of this very famous brand for Malaysia market Chatime which located at hottest shopping location area, Level 4, Pavilion (in front of True Fitness). Not to mention I have recently came back from Taiwan and only realise that actual bubble tea is so much different compare to our local market that they have in the mall or pasar malam. They acutally have a very original taste of tea of the mixture rather than most of them are using powder.

chattime (4)

Chatime is quite a well know brand which spread its wings with more than 300 outlets across the globe. One of the drinks to look for is that they do not really use powder but nicely brew tea, mix and match of alot of flavours. Upon ordering we are able to choose less sugar or more sugar just like it is as I experience in Taiwan.

chattime (3)

They have long list of drinks available but this are so far their signature or recommended drink.

chattime (2)

chattime (5)

For me the usual way to test the best out of the drink is always go for their original drink ‘Original Milk Tea with Pearls’. Aromatic of tea flavor and milk that doesn’t not taste too condense milky along with the ngam ngam mixed pearl is just good, would just easily beat any of the stalls out there.  RM5.90 – highly recommended

chattime (6)

Another recommendation by one of the staff is ‘Japanese Match Red Bean Smoothie’. If you are looking something cold, then this is an good option, strong green tea flavor that combines well with the red bean that make it solid in taste, and I just forgot to add pearl, it would have been more perfect. RM5.90

So far I like both Snowflakes and Chatime Bubble tea range, something that I would definitely want to have when I go to Pavilion.

For all parties that are interested in getting their Chatime Franchise, please contact them at : 03-77850580
