Brown Sugar Bubble Tea from Tiger Sugar
Went on an awesome guided tour of food in Flushing, Queens, around New World Mall. We started off with Brown Sugar Bubble Tea from Tiger Sugar. The tapioca (or cassava as I recently found out it’s just a different word for the same thing) balls come in two sizes: one larger and one smaller, the larger ones cooked longer in the caramelized brown sugar and the smaller ones softer. The bubble tea had a nice contrast between warm bubbles and the cold tea, and didn’t seem too clumpy like other versions of this type of bubble tea. Most amusing were the instructions: take a picture and post it to instagram, then shake 15 times.
