    I can't lie. Love this stuff. If I could only drink one thing on earth it would be bubble tea.

    Problem is I live near Meyerland and work in downtown and I can't find a place that serves it near me. I find a smallplace in Midtown by the HCC campus call Boba but they only carry slushes.

    I have to drive to Tea House on Shepherd and Westheimer just to get some.

    Is there anyplace near me (Meryerland, Reliant, med center, Galleria) that serves it?

    Last time I ate those disgusting little black balls I puked everywhere. I don't think I'll ever be able to have bubble tea again.

    If you've ever seen a salt water fish lay eggs you would never be able to drink bubble tea again.

    It's always funny to watch people not use to drinking it choke on the tapioca.

    I could never figure out if you're supposed to chew the tapioca lumps or swallow them.

    I don't like having to chew my drink, and I don't like swallowing tapioca lumps.

    So, I'm afraid I give it a thumbs-down.

    ....Or just say when you order bubble tea not to put tapioca in it? I hate tapioca and just never put it in my bubble tea (or I would if there were any of those places in St. Paul)

    I loveeee Teahouse. No tapioca for me though! Don't they have a location downtown? Or used to atleast, cause they used to have the addresses printed on the cups. It was a UHD location, IIRC.

    There is a name for the "bubbles" or "Tropical lumps", or "black balls" :rolleyes:

    It is actually a kind of sweet rice originated in Thailand. Rice wouldn't kill you, right? :rolleyes:


    :D
