No, those tapioca balls are disgusting and slimy.
Yick...even worse than jello with fruit suspended in it.
I love those slimy balls. The bigger the better.
No, seriously.
I love boba/bubble tea. I've been going to this one teahouse, Suzhi, for years, before it became popular with non-Asians around here. Now, tea shops are popping up in all the trendy white areas of town, which is fine. There are several Suzhi teahouses in this area -- I live near the Vietnamese part of town. They generally have the most "authentic" tasting tea. There's another place I go, in midtown I guess, called just "Teahouse". They're pretty okay, but nowhere near the best. The people there are great, though. It's good to be a regular.
I usually order milk or cream teas, or a fruit milk tea slushie, always with tapioca. My friend prefers green or jasmine tea, with coconut gelatin. He's like the other end of the spectrum from me.
I think I'm going to go get an almond milk tea with tapioca right now.
