Sampling the World Famous "Tiger Sugar" Tea

"Tiger Sugar" has arrived to the Bang Bang Oriental Food hall in London and I was super excited to try it out! I heard so much about this most popular milk tea from Taiwan. The name “Tiger Sugar” comes from the “tiger stripes” which pattern the inside of the cup when the caramelized syrup mixes with the thick milk-tea texture. Very similar to a the tiger, in fact!

As it was newly opened, there was almost no queue and so I only waited 5 minutes before getting my drink! I consider myself lucky as some people had to queue up to an hour and a half just to have a taste of the "boba" milk drink in Taiwan!

I opted for the classic Tiger Sugar Boba Milk with Cream Mousse. The top of the cup was sealed before it’s given to you. Once I got the drink, it was picture time for this Instagram-worthy drink, haha!

Brown sugar with fresh milk are a perfect combination, as the drink is not overly sweet nor overwhelmingly rich. The "boba" is bit softer than the usual pearls and are served with a lovely chewy texture to them.

There are also tea latte and tea favour drink options, with or without "boba". I would highly recommend this place to see what you think of this popular, delicious drink!
