Iโm a HUGE FTR fan , but the ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฝ๐ค๐๐ (~$6) for 250ml of milk tea seemed abiiiit, well, overpriced. Iโve seen reviews of their milk tea being weak, but mine had a strong tea taste, so perhaps there was some inconsistency. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

And hereโs the answer to the impt qn: Howโs the Boba? Itโs... well.... edible. Similar to the tea, there were consistency issues, some pearls were chewy and some were hard. ๐ฅค๐ฅ

For a more tangy/ sweet drink, opt for the ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ค ๐๐ง๐ช๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ (~$6.30), with a more citrusy feel ๐

Being the #1 Meiji melon milk fan as a child, I would say ๐๐๐ก๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ (~$6.30) with oat milk (+0.50) was like melon milk on steroids ๐คค
.
Switching to oat milk was a good idea, since that allowed the milky creamy component of this drink to take a backseatโ and for me to fully appreciate the rich yet neutral melon purรฉe. Light and natural tasting, this is something I see myself coming back for!

Earl Grey Milk Tea had a REAALLY strong earl grey flavour but the milk base was quite light and thin, would have liked it to have been more milky, while the Alishan Milk was a tad bit too milky for my liking.
๐ผ๐ซ๐ค๐๐๐๐ค ๐พ๐ค๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ช๐ฉ (~$5) with coconut bits (+0.60) could (basically almost) replace my bbt cravings ๐ฅค Smoothie was filling and insanely smooth, packed with avocado flavour, but not so much coconut ๐ฅฅ๐ฅ In fact, coconut taste wasnโt obvious at all except in the coconut topping! That being said the coconut topping really suited this drink, and I really liked it bc it wasnโt your usual konyaku jelly/ pearls etc in drink shops โบ๏ธ

Mango Cheezo with skinny sugar (~$8.20) ๐ง was probably the most disappointing... thing... ever...... Switched out the cheese to ice cream at no cost but even that couldnโt save the drink ๐ญ
.
The first thing I tasted was this duriany taste, followed by the sweetness of the mango and the aftertaste was ????? ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ I canโt even describe it properly but I could barely stomach this :-(( idk why itโs so disappointing

First time trying out r&bโs Brown Sugar Boba Milk (~$3.80) and I think I found my FAV BROWN SUGAR MILK!! ๐
.
Tbh Iโm really not a fan of brown sugar in general bc most places always make it so sweet, but r&b balances the sweetness and milkyness perfectly ๐ Most of the brown sugar taste came from the pearls, which were nice and bouncy ๐ฅค
.
Light and smooth fresh milk paired with a subtle but present brown sugar flavour, itโs no wonder my friends always rave about it ๐๐ป
Ig @goodfomood
Brown Sugar Fresh Milk was lighter than most brown sugars Iโve tried, and wasnโt as sinfully sweet as others! ๐ I found the pearls abit too hard though, but they did soften after soaking in the milk for awhile.

Never been one to like fruit teas bc of how they lacked the satisfaction milk tea brings but I really enjoyed the Zesty Pineapple Mango Pops from Wantea ๐คค
.
Tea base was light and not sweet, instead the sweetness came from the mango popsโ which disintegrated well after leaving a burst of flavours in your mouth!

Oreo Brown Sugar Milk Tea (~$5.90) seemed impressive from the numerous photos Iโve seen, but really it was mostly filled with ice (couldnโt customise the ice level) with not much milk tea ๐ฅคThe pearls were good, with a good bite to it: chewy, slightly soft, and probably one of the better pearls out there ๐ช
.
Oreo flavour was a tad anticlimactic, and I feel that it didnโt really go well with the salty milk foam ๐ฅ๐ช Overall Iโd recommend to ditch this; I had a few sips of the drink and before I knew it; I was finished :-(
Ig @goodfomood
Hojicha Latte (~$5.80) was a very light drink, much lighter than most hojicha latteโs Iโve had! Flavour was there but it wasnโt very strong โ๏ธ It was quite creamy though!
.
Zesty Earl Grey (~$4.70) was earl grey tea with orange zest, an interesting concoction! However I felt like the orange flavour was too mild and the Earl Grey overpowered it ๐
Ig @goodfomood
Black sesame milk with azuki beans (~$4.80) tasted, like the staff described: โlike tangyuanโ ๐๐ This was a really unique flavour that I never saw anywhere else heh
.
Black sesame milk was really smooth and sesame taste was super evident, deffos for someone who likes sesame!! It wasnโt sweet which was good but it wasnโt bitter bc the azuki beans added a natural sweetness and another layer of taste to the drink! ๐ถ
.
Azuki beans gave the drink so much more texture and this combination really worked out hehe ๐
