Bubble Tea @ Lan Pan

Food Type: Bubble Tea/Boba
Origin: Taiwan
website: www.lanpanasian.com
location: Dadeland Station

Bubble Tea, or sometimes simply Boba, consists of a variety of teas, milks, smoothies and other blends in which small tapioca pearls (re: bubbles) are dropped. Equipped with a fat straw to suck them out with, they travel up the straw while you sip your drink of choice. The tapioca pearls have a gummy consistancy and every person i've ever seen try it wants more. The only problem? Locations! Lan Pan has a little bubble tea window similar to what you see in cuban restaurants for coffee, but apart from this and a few other locales up in broward you'll be hard-pressed for bubble tea near you. There was a dedicated place named "Lollicup" across from FIU, but since I don't think they ever considered advertizing.. they "moved" and never were heard from again in south florida. sad.

Bubble Tea and its deliciousness is only $3.50, which compared to regular smoothies offered by robek's, starbucks, or jamba juice is quite a bargain.
