Chatime (Old Town)

• Those of you who are unaware of bubble tea
• It is a chilled drink that can be made with either tea or milk powder
• The shop itself is quite small
• Thankfully the staff are both helpful and knowledgeable
• One thing I appreciated most about Chatime is the fact that most of their drinks are actually made with tea
• Aaron very kindly offered to just provide a selection and so the Bear and I had the Chatime milk tea with regular tapioca pearls
• Matcha milk tea with red bean paste
• Lychee black tea with rainbow jelly
• Oriental Beauty tea also with tapioca pearls
• The Chatime milk tea was creamy and delicious
• Not too sweet but still with the aromatic flavour of tea and perfectly complemented by the tapioca pearls
• The matcha milk tea I found could have done with slightly more sugar as I find green tea to be quite a savoury flavour naturally
• Lychee black tea was fruity and refreshing
• The rainbow jelly was a colourful mix of fruit and coconut jelly cubes
• The Oriental Beauty was most reminiscent of a standard ice tea
