Guest Post: Bubble Tea
The lovely and very talented Peach of The Peachkitchen A wonderful food blog based in the Philippines kindly shared these bubble tea pictures. In fact it was the fun street food that got me hooked on her blog, also she is a great Mum with a little daughter about Jasmines age, a business woman and awesome cook. Be sure to visit her blog, but I know a lot of you clever folks are. Enjoy!
Street Pearl Shakes/Mobile Bubble Tea
Bubble Tea or Pearl Shake is a very popular drink nowadays. It is usually naturally or artificially flavored teas or milkshakes with chewy tapioca pearls.This is perfect for the now starting Summer here in the Philippines.Usually, you can find these shakes being sold in malls and kiosks but they are a little pricey. Well, someone will always find a way to make this more available and affordable to the public. And so the Mobile Bubble Tea is born. This vendor sells the pearl shakes in four flavors: Chocolate, Rocky Road, Cappuccino and Buco-Pandan
When you buy an order. The vendor will get a plastic cup and put around 2 tbsp of tapioca pearls. Then he will fill the cup with the flavor of the shake that you chose. In the picture, the vendor is filling the cup with Buco-Pandan flavored shake. This cup costs P10.00 [$0.22].
Love,
Peach
How fun! I love bubble tea. Coconut and taro are my favorite flavors!
ReplyDeleteMy kids go nuts for bubble tea. Thankfully we have quite a few Asian spots near my house that specialize in it!

ReplyDeletea lovely fun name .....bubble tea! how charming..first tiem ive heard of it. interesting tq for sharing^^
ReplyDeleteThat's a drink that all the kids love!
ReplyDeleteI have never had bubble tea - I see it all over manhattan - time to try it.
ReplyDeleteWell, someday I must try it. It is the 'real' thing here locally...little shops popping up all over the place. But no street vendors. Love the pics. I'll pop over to the blog...as I AM clever...grin!
ReplyDeleteI want one!
ReplyDeleteHow neat...I've never seen them in a cart before, just in the tea shops in China towns all over.
ReplyDeleteWow great post! Never heard of those, bet they are yummy!
ReplyDeleteHey, that picture on the left side of your header pic, where is that? it's lovely!
Lovely bubble tea!!
ReplyDeleteoh how fun! this is my home country's version of the ice cream truck that goes around the neighborhood here in the US. Although before it was just ice cream... (no bubble tea yet during my time).
ReplyDeleteInstead of a truck our "mamang sorbetero" ice cream man. goes around pushing a cart filled with fruit flavors such as mango, pineapple or anything in season complimented by classic choices such as chocolate and cheese flavors.
He rings a bell as he walks around town, he calls attention and pretty soon kids and adult alike, gather around him and have a refreshing scoop of ice cream... to beat the summer heat!
oh wow, now im homesick... sigh..
I have never had the opportunity to enjoy bubble tea. I need to keep my eyes open-especially, next time I travel.

Bubble tea is one of my favorite drinks for the summer.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thats fun!
ReplyDeleteI love these kind of bubble tea as well. So, yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh! I wish there's a thing like that roaming in our area. Bubble Tea is one beverage that my family always look forward to have everytime we eat out in an Asian restaurant. Love tea and tapioca combination in a cool creamy drink. There is really something quite remarkable about it, and personally, I find it quite addictive.
