Out & About #65 | Orange 茶 88 ??

1/12/2015

 
So it seems that Tea Shop 168 has changed their name....to a rather odd-sounding new one.
I'm puzzled as to why they even bothered though - the staff is the same, and the drinks are still served using plastic cups with 'Tea Shop 168' labels printed on them. Even their name of Google Maps remains the same.

I guess the only noticeable difference was the reformatting of the menu. Now that I think about it, I did observe that a number of food items were newly-added to the list.

A result of some last-minute planning the night before, a few of my friends had gathered together to play mahjong. The original plan didn't involve bubble tea, but things just somehow managed to work out this way.

Though I can't speak for the other items, the Pudding Black Milk Tea that I had ordered bore no resemblance whatsoever to Bubble Republic's version. Instead of a subtly sweet milk tea with a hint of pudding flavour, I received something along the lines of stale pudding mix that had been thinned out with water and a bit of milk. (Sounds lovely doesn't it?)

As luck would have it, I didn't win any of my hands. But, nonetheless, it was still fun! I actually had a couple of almost-wins, but an extremely kind friend decided that he would rather keep the winning tiles (ie. the tiles I would have won off of) within his own hand, even if it meant significantly lowering the value of it. What a great friend, right? jk)

We soon went back as two of us had class afterwards.

Just to finish this post off on a quirky note, here are two random visuals from the past weekend/today: an ever-so-delectable Klondike cone (in Vanilla) and a funny face that had been drawn onto the button commuters pressed for temporary warmth while waiting inside bus shelters.
