This will be a short post; I just need to rant about the Bubble House for a bit. First of all, when making iced tea, ladies, make it double strength! I don’t want my iced green bubble tea to taste like I’m sipping tapioca AND tap water. See, the funny thing about pouring hot tea over ice means it’ll water it down completely! Secondly, please don’t allow your staff to approach my table when they are cracked out. Thank you.
Ahem. Let’s try that with a little less angst. Well, yesterday I had the displeasure of drinking some tap water, I mean tea, at the Bubble Tea House. The waitress was aloof and disappeared for more than 20 minutes at a time, even though the restaurant was seemingly calm. The sencha green bubble tea was horribly watered down, even after I had it sent back the second time. The waitress, despite her dreamy, inattentive behavior, clearly showed her displeasure when I told her could barely taste the tea in my drink. The second incarnation of the tea tasted pretty much the same as the first. I’ll head to Chinatown the next time I have a hankering for bubble tea.
