99792 Sun Jan 18 18:25:06 -0800 2004 9 23 Ontario (including Toronto) 0 540536 I'm planning to visit Toronto in February and I hear that Toronto has the best bubble tea around. Can anyone give me the names of any good bubble tea shops or sites (if they have them) so that I can check them out before I go? Thanks a lot Sun Jan 18 18:25:06 -0800 2004 0 Chani 1 540539 Try Tea Shop 168. It's a franchise with many locations in Toronto. a) downtown: 377 Yonge Street (near Dundas) b) Markham/Richmond Hill: 505 Hwy 7 East, Unit 96 ,97 You might want to try going to Pacific Mall as well......many Chinese stores indoors (perfect for this time).....http://www.pacificmalltoronto.com/en/ They also have a Tea Shop 168 location I recommend also trying an "ice slush"....pineapple flavor with coconut jelly (instead of the tapioca) Sun Jan 18 20:06:51 -0800 2004 540536 0 Goober 2 540567 Or try the smaller tapioca pearls instead of the larger ones. different texture! Mon Jan 19 20:04:15 -0800 2004 540539 0 Chin 1 540540 Try Destiny Tea House - www.destinybox.com The location they have on Silver Star Blvd. is gorgeous! Ten Ren's Tea House is good, too. Sun Jan 18 20:41:16 -0800 2004 540536 0 Food Fanatic 2 540541 Yes, Goober's right! Pacific Mall would be a great place - plus it's Chinese New Year's next week. P-Mall (as we affectionally call it) has: - Tea Shop 168 - Ten Ren's - Destiny Have fun! Gong Xi Fa Chai =) Happy New Year Sun Jan 18 20:48:51 -0800 2004 540540 0 Food Fanatic 2 1999466 i love destiny!! the atmos is great, and the food is really good too. try their spicy noodles. it's very spicy! the tea drinks are great there, maybe a bit expensive at $6-$8 a drink but they have a huge variety of flavors and they use real fruit and juices for ingredients. Mon Nov 06 02:24:47 -0800 2006 540540 42693 chalenegirl 1 540545 I'm wondering if there are any that use real ingredients such as red beans rather than the flavored powder. I've seen fresh fruit, which I would expect... IMO, it would be wrong to use tang or some other mix to simulate fruit. Sun Jan 18 23:48:03 -0800 2004 540536 0 frank 2 540547 I know Ten Ren uses real red beans if you order a red bean drink. Mon Jan 19 07:30:26 -0800 2004 540545 0 Goober 3 540566 out here in mississauga (north west corner of burnhamthorpe and creditview) except they do it w/green bean (yum!) Mon Jan 19 20:02:57 -0800 2004 540547 0 Chin 2 540575 try Bubble Tease. Various locations. (Eaton Centre North Food Court, Bloor/Spadina, Commerce Court, Fairview Mall, etc) They use real fruit, in fact they blend it with ice. Tell them to lay off on the sugar, because sometimes it's a bit too sweet. I still prefer Tenren's. And my Favorite is the green forest or something like that at Market Village (Kennedy/Steeles), which is next to Satay Rio. Tue Jan 20 09:00:51 -0800 2004 540545 0 sekibun
