A bubble milk tea stand at a shopping mall in the Philippines. I chatted with the women at this stand and I told them that bubble milk tea was invented in Taiwan. They didn’t believe me. I ordered a Royal Milk Tea (medium). When you want the full bubble milk tea, you can ask for “pearls” or, as they call them here, “sinkers.” So I had mine with sinkers. It was okay, but of course nowhere near as good as the real thing in Taiwan. According to the sign on the booth, bubble milk tea prevents tooth decay, bad breath, cancer, heart attacks, aging, memory loss, and fat buildup. Pretty powerful stuff!
