Bubble Tea Archives - Between Bites - Bites of Food, Travel and Lifestyle

March 4, 2008 by Janey

Tucked in the lower ground of what used to be the biggest mall before the launch of Mall of Asia, Megamall hides this small Japanese casual restaurant. Bright colors greet you as the interior is livened by bold yellow and green colors –contrary to the lackluster respectful culture of Japan.

Spicy Seafood in Tomato Cream

I really like this pasta dish where the seafood is spiked with spice and the taste of creamy tomato is apparent. It was a bit dry though and could have used more cream sauce.

Katsudon Curry

Katsudon Curry is one of Bubba’s favorite quick Japanese orders. The Katsudon Curry is as average as any other Katsudon in other casual Japanese dining.

Gyoza

One of the favorite appetizers of Japanese cuisine, which actually originated in China as ordinarily known “dumpling.” Gyoza is the Japanese counterpart of the popularized Chinese dumpling, which usually is made of ground meat with vegetable bits wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, steamed to a hot smooth pork wrap. It is normally eaten with a soy-vinegar dip garnished with sesame seeds.

The Gyoza in Bubble Tea is one of the best that I’ve tasted in the metro. It tasted fresh and perfectly slides right down your throat with that sweet salty taste of the dip. The dip could have been saltier for my taste.

The restaurant is something to still try out if you happen to be in SM Megamall, if not for their famous milkshake tea with bubbles. This is near the Ice Skating rink.
