To those who know me well, they know that I am not a great fan of milk. I just can’t tolerate the taste of it. It follows that I am very selective of food with milk in it. Ice cream, chicolate and yes, milk tea, the latest craze to hit town.
While my children drool at the mere sight of milk tea, I do the opposite. I would always settle for a fruit shake or hot tea when in any of the coffee shops that has mushroomed all over the country.
It was a different experience though when I tried the milk tea at Hong Kong. It was sweltering inside the restaurant while my family and I were having breakfast. The breakfast fare had hot coffee, iced tea or milk tea for the drinks. You wouldn’t think I will order coffee. I ordered the iced lemon tea. It arrived with enough ice cubes to cool it. It was different from the usual iced tea here in Manila. It was so refreshingly good.
Milk Tea
I tasted my daughter’s milk tea order just so I can compare with what is usual in the Philippines. It was different in the sense that it didn’t taste milky. I was an instant fan of the Hong Kong-style milk tea. When we went back for dinner, it was my drink of choice.
