Our new favourite destination for bubble tea
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Ottawa|Recipes and Food
Time to strike another thing off our summer bucket list!
Have you tried bubble tea? We’ve made our own and have been regular patrons of Bubblicity on Somerset for the past few years. Unfortunately the last few visits were nothing to write home about, and I was open to finding a new source for this delicious stuff. My friend Don from foodieprints suggested My Sweet Tea (and I trust his recommendations!) and so that’s where we went last night to recharge after a long day spent at Calypso.
And I’m glad we did… even though I’ve been cutting sugar from my diet like crazy this past month. :)
Mark and the girls ordered the honeydew bubble latte with pearls and I tried the mango for a change. The first slurp was telling. My Sweet Tea serves up a creamier concoction than we ever had at Bubblicity and there was no powdery aftertaste either. Mark thought the pearls were slightly undercooked, but I didn’t mind. They were chewier than normal but they actually had flavour for a change… and I think that made more of an impression on me. :)
It was a lovely sweet treat, one that is surprising filling too. Next time I might just order a small, or eat a smaller dinner beforehand!
