Sundays at Infinitea

After church, I always look forward for hanging out with the family after all Sunday is family day. I just wanted to relax so I asked my mom if she wanted a cup of tea. Lucky for me she said, yes. The nearest tea shop at our place would be INFINITEA at Brusmick Place and that's where we headed. 

We arrived too early that everything else was not available except for their Frappe.

Here are our orders.

Blueberry Cheesecake (left) ; Strawberry Mousse (middle) ; Green Tea (right)

I get to try their Blueberry Cheesecake Frappe and I assure you this is worth a try because it's definitely good. It is very creamy but surprisingly not too sweet.

My mom had the Strawberry Mousse it was also good but at 50% sugar level I still find the sweetness overwhelming.

 

And of course my all time favorite, Green Tea Frappe. It's my favorite for a reason that green tea is said to be healthy. LOL. I had an acquired taste for green tea, I just love it.  It tasted like Starbucks but only a lot cheaper, a very good alternative. *wink*

The price is affordable. The ambiance is relaxing. The place is well ventilated. The only missing is some music but overall. Approved!

Go try it! Ciao! 

A cup of tea at Serenitea

My first encounter with milk tea was with Simple Line's Coffee Konjac Milk Tea and eversince then I developed a relationship with milk tea. A kind that makes you feel serene and calm and safe. If there is comfort food, milk tea is my comfort drink. Serenitea is the first milk tea shop that created a huge buzz and before you knew it, milk tea shops are everywhere.

And it is but normal for me to try Serenitea, the brand that started it all. That's where I saw myself one Sunday afternoon. If I wanted to chill I'd go to Serenitea, it gives off a feeling of tranquility. The green and white interiors, comfy chairs, the light that is neither too light nor too dark. The name, Serenitea from the word serenity is very much appropriate.

Serenitea offers a vast array of drinks from hot to cold, from brewed to fruit teas. Not only they serve drinks but also something to munch on. It's really hard to choose when you wanted to try everything. I settled on one of their bestsellers which is Hokkaido Milk Tea ( Classic ) . The drinks can be customized to your preferred sugar level, I always have mine at 50%. Different sinkers are available for you to choose from, an added fun while drinking your favorite drink. 

Hokkaido Milk Tea (Php 105; large)

It has a butter toffee caramel flavor. Creamy and refreshing.

Chicken Chops (Php 95)

An order of Chicken chops is a perfect match for your drink. I love the peppery taste and other spices combined. I thought it is going to be salty but I was proved wrong. Chicken chops just made it to the list of my favorites. This is recommended!

A Serenitea experience is a perfect day ender, play along with the perfect music whilst drinking your cup of tea.

Ciao!

Spicy Squid at Ersao

Even before the hype in Milk Tea started, there is Ersao standing strong and firm until now. And unlike any other milk tea house, Ersao offers rice meals and noodles to pair with your tea. Just like any other, they have a wide array of tea selection to choose from. While the milk tea may fell short on the flavors their Spicy squid and spicy chicken is nothing but yummy. Whenever I dine at Ersao I will always have either of the two and it never disappoint. The spicy squid/chicken topped with crispy basil bring wonders to my mouth. I can never get tired of having this even with the crispy basil alone. I just love it!

Ciao!

A treat at Intensitea

Milk teas are sprouting everywhere. I, myself has been hooked by the sudden craze in milk tea which I don't even know when and how it started. I dislike tea of any kind, but that was before I am changed. I am now a convert and I love green tea the most.

The thing about milk tea is that they have lots of flavors to offer, it is so hard to choose so you'll end up with their bestseller most likely, Wintermelon Milk Tea. Nothing can go wrong with wintermelon milk tea it is by far the safest choice if you're new on trying out this kind of drink.

Lucky for me, I never have to travel far to have a cup of tea because Intensitea just opened a couple of months ago at Suki Market which is a walking distance from my place. The good thing about Infinitea is that they also offer rice toppings, dimsums and sandwiches to pair with their drinks.

Beef Mediterranean (Php 55)

I get to try their Beef Mediterranean which is apparently very good. The beef is very tender and flavorful. I was amazed because I really didnt think that they can pull this one, well, I am wrong on so many levels. This is a must try!

Pork Adobo with Egg (Php 55)

I also get to try their Pork Adobo with egg. The acidity is too much but the milk tea neutralizes the flavor so I guess it works for me.

Butterscotch Milk Tea

 I have for my drink a Butterscotch Milk Tea. I wanted a new flavor but it didn't appeal to me. It was just okay. Not a hint of butterscotch there. The flavor is similar to Oolong Black Tea of Simple Line.

For a cheap and decent meal try Intensitea.  

Ciao!
