Tapioca Bubbles?? <b/> What are Tapioca bubbles?? Many question battled into my minds what could it be?? Oh is it a fruit punch, or a fruit ice-cream ! or may be a ....Well what is it?? Friends I wouldn’t have actually known it, till I tasted it finally. What is it??<b/> How do I start to describe this New, unusual, unique.... kuch zyadahi HATKE drink. A popular Taiwanese drink to health, the speciality is, it contains tapioca balls and flavoured jelly cubes in the drink. I tasted it and had a great experience of a unique chewing & drinking together! It tasted extremely different & amazing, just like having some yummy cocktail. Location & availability??<b/> Its called the Tapioca bar<b/>, located at Kiran Kunj, Plot- 476, 24th Road, Khar West in Mumbai. Well its already into lime light. A great hangout for youngsters, college goers and also families. Its a cozy little space to hangout, with a good ambience all together, when you enter in you will feel really cool, with great sitting arrangements, the place is lite up with soothing pastels & bright colours every where. The tables are decorated with little colored thick straws, underneath the glass surface, which adds a beautiful feel whilst we sip in the chilled Taiwanese drink gradually. The Menu contains??<b/> This drink is being served in 4 categories CLEARS<b/>...the drinks, LATTES<b/>...the milky drinks, TACOS<b/>...the veg, non-veg snackies, NACHOS<b/>..again a smart snacks to compliment the great voluminous drink, & the last the DESSERTS<b/>. The drinks are served chilled in 2 counts naming... LIKE IT<b/>...350 ml....Rs.50 , & LOVE IT<b/> ...500ml...Rs.60. I loved the logic & funda behind the counts, that is if you are trying this out for the first time, I guess you will feel like a GINI pig, thinking how will it be...so one can try the LIKE IT<b/> count, but I bet its good enough to try out the LOVE IT<b/> count for the second time too. There are various fruit flavours, in Citrus as well as the Sweet kind. One will actually get jumbled up thinking which flavour to be ordered! Citrus clears<b/> drinks has fruits juices like Green apple, Kiwi, Indian cherry, Passion fruit, red grapefruit & a rare one called Kumquat. In sweet clear<b/> drinks mango, peach, grapes, black champagne grapes, & again a rare one, that’s Osmanthus plum. Lattes<b/>Some great tasty milky bubble drinks in almond, milk tea, chocolate, mocha, blueberry, honeydew, lychee, coconut & papaya flavours. Tacos<b/> in vegetarian snacks has beans, Creole potato, Corn coriander, Mushrooms, Paneer & Pineapple. In non-vegetarian snacks, grilled basil chicken, Coriander chicken & Red Indian chicken items are served, 2 shells per plate. Nachos<b/> are available in 3 dips, cheese salsa, cheese pepper & olive....Yummy they are too delicious to repeat the order twice or more. In desserts<b/> Choco-tart, Macaroons & cakes are served only. Well I have tasted Kumquat bubble, grape bubble & papaya bubble drinks, all were distinct taste wise & I just the each of them. I am definitely planning to taste some few more in future. It was a great experience drinking, chewing & eating a drink together. Just try it ...Why??<b/> The prices seems too be reasonable as per the quality & quantity of the bubbles drinks. Why I chose to write on this divine drink, because its amazing different. The presentation, the service, everything is Hatke. Its totally satisfies the taste buds. Now few more unique flavours are coming up. I should also add that its a Paise Vasool fundu drink. The presentation & service is very quick & nice. Very hygienically prepared. Colourful Wide straws are given to suck up the Tapioca bubbles & flavoured jelly's. I would like to conclude saying...just go & try your favourite flavours & share your views on Tapioca Bar. Thanks for stopping, reading & thinking over....try it out, this drink rocks!! &Comments welcome after you experience it yourself...<i/> _
