It's been so hot lately. I have been mustering up the courage to stop temptations from Chowking and Cong Cha. But alas, I found this promo from Gong Cha! From February 20 to May 25, 2012, Gong Cha will be offering a promo of buy 10 drinks and get one free. The drinks should all be large.

This happens to be our new craving at the office. Every lunchtime, my unit always plans to go to SM Megamall to buy Gong Cha Milk Tea, but unfortunately, plans remain as 'plans' for all of us. We have lazy butts. It's a good thing my family is not that lazy. As you can tell by the pictures below, we had a happy time purchasing Gong Cha.

I don't know but no matter how ubiquitous milk tea places are, I still am craving for a glass of pearl milk tea. One rainy Sunday afternoon, my friends and I had a meeting, so we decided to have a light snack in Katipunan. There is this new building in Katipunan called Regis center. It is right across Ateneo. We had our meeting in one of the stores on the second floor. The place was called Saint's Alp. It was another one of those shops that sell various kind of tea, from freshly prepared tea to specialty milk tea. Saint's Alp is a brand from Hong Kong. It was founded in 1994 and was the first leisure teahouse to introduce Taiwanese bubble tea in Hong Kong. Saint's Alp's first branch in the Philippines is this store. They also opened one at the Fort just last weekend.

I'm sorry for being delinquent on lagging on my posts for Manila Reviews. I have been so harassed lately doing projects for my day job. I have been so tired and zapped out of life lately. Don't worry, I still have a lot of reviews that I would like to share with you, one of which was a milk tea or bubble tea place again in the metro. It's called Cha Dao (Cha means Tea and Dao comes from "Daoism/Taoism" which is a Chinese Philosophy), "The Way of Tea".

Hey, see what's about to open at Rockwell!

I'm surprised by how many tea / milk tea options are now available in Metro Manila. It's good, though, for tea lovers like me since we have more choices. I was particularly happy when Chatime opened a little store in Robinsons Galleria, near my office. In the Ortigas area, as far as I know, I don't think we have a place to go for bubble tea. This would make Chatime the most convenient one to visit in Ortigas.

7-11 has 2 milk tea offerings that are surprisingly good! Read more about them in the article.

Great news! You don't have to brave Greenhills traffic to get your Green Tea with Cheese and Rock Salt fix. Happy Lemon is opening a branch at the top floor of Eastwood Mall - right beside Starbucks.

The summer heat is starting to become unbearable. If you're looking for an alternative to the samalamig or the halo-halo, why not try a cool refreshing milk tea drink from tea.ology?

Read our review on Serenitea! know we're a bit late in publishing this review, but still, a lot of people who are not in the area of San Juan, Banawe and BF Homes or in the vicinity of these two malls, Alabang Town Center and Robinson's Place Manila, are still unaware of what Serenitea is all about.

Lately, there have been a lot of new little tea bars that are starting to cater to people who appreciate tea a little bit more than coffee. One of the newest is Happy Lemon in Promenade, Greenhills (where the ground floor of Fully Booked used to be). It adds a unique twist to the Manila milk tea scene!

It's definitely good that I discovered a new drink that has taken the place of the coffee I used to crave for. I have discovered a delicious drink called Bubble Tea, when I visited one of their stores in Tomas Morato.
