Bubble tea has several different English names, including pearl milk tea and boba tea. It is originally a drink from Taiwan that ended up being popular in the USA and now over here in the UK.
I had a regular taro bubble tea for £3.25. I was rather full afterwards and couldn't manage all my dinner (shame on me for going for bubble tea first!). Taro is a little bit like sweet potato or yam.
Taro bubble tea reminds me of going to a Pasar Malam on Penang Island with my lovely Couchsurfing host Hong and buying things for 'satu ringgit'. It's great to be able to have the same drink right here in London.
