Customs: 100% sugar, Less ice

Taste
I have gotten this before, but in a slushie form. I love mango so I wasn’t surprised that I immediately fell in love with this drink at first sip. It was not sour and tasted very fruity and sweet. It was not too milky, but still gave hints of Yakult. I think the Yakult adds to the sweetness, so I would try getting 75% sugar next time. The mango chunks were a nice touch; it felt like I got an extra topping.

The pearls were chewy and just the right size. They were not cold or hard, even though they have been submerged in a cold drink. CoCo pearls are my favourite pearls from a franchise. They have never disappointed me, except that one time my sister’s finacee got me boba. I asked for tapioca pearls and got sago, but that wasn’t a CoCo problem, it was just miscommunication between him and I.

Side note: I also took a sip of the mango green tea that my partner ordered. I am not the biggest fan. The green tea flavour was strong and overrides the mango. However, switching from my drink to his might have given me the wrong impression because my drink had a distinct mango flavour. I may possibly give the mango green tea another try when I haven’t had any other mango drinks beforehand that day.

Look
The liquid was cloudy so you can tell there is Yakult in it and not just a plain mango drink. The cups were tall and skinny. I like how the design on the cup was simple and not too crazy. I think it would be interesting to measure and compare a large Chatime and a large Coco to see who gives out more bang for your buck.

Atmosphere
It was a little busy on this Friday evening. They had a few tables out so my cousins and I sat there while we waited for our drinks. I don’t remember much about the environment and the music. It was more fun getting boba with people compared to going by myself when I have a craving.

Why did we come here?
We came here after a funeral viewing. It is a Filipino superstition that you can not go back home right after a funeral. You have to “pagpag” before going home. Pagpag means “to shake off.” For example you would pagpag a rug to get the dirt or dust out. By getting boba, we shook off any “spirits” that may have followed us.
Rest in peace, Uncle Dong.

Final Words
Good boba and good company!
