Irresistible or Addicting?

Those little devil starch balls. We have a love-hate relationship. A cup of tapioca milk tea or boba tea is just under 300 calories. Then again, if you go to Starbucks and order a fancy drink, just about the same amount of calories.

Tapioca milk tea is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. Sometimes, an addiction. I just can never seem to get enough of it!! I'm always on a mission to find the best. Now that I'm in Vancouver, basically a Chinatown, soooo much! Don't worry, haven't had too much of it!


Then again, maybe it's just this whole childhood again. Some people give McDonald's as a treat growing up, I guess I got bubble tea. Haha, who am I kidding, I had McDonald's too. Lol. Anyway, maybe I love it so much because it brings me back to my childhood. Going out on a bubble tea trip with my aunt during my summer visit to Canada. Growing up, they didn't have bubble tea in China. 

Anyway, being the picky bubble tea lover, it's really mostly about the tea. The bubbles, not too hard to make. If I can do it, you can do it. The tea, needs perfection. BBT Cafe, a lil cute Taiwanese restaurant my sister brought me too, has QUITE the delicious bubble tea. More posts about BBT Cafe coming...

Confession: Oh no, how could I forget a "confession" on my last post!! Must do: NOW!!
