Milk Tea Madness around Metro Manila! Milk tea stands are sprouting up everywhere. It’s like the pearl shakes all over again; but now, these places have it all from pearl shakes to coffee-type stuff and, of course, ZE MILK TEA!
I understand it. Milk tea cravings haunt me. And I do enjoy the typical ones everyone tries like Cha Time, Happy Lemon, etc, etc.
But, for moi, my faves would have to be those in actual restaurants! Mm-mm-mm!!! So… I just want to share my favorite milk tea so far. You guys might want to try em out. Doesn’t hurt that in these restos, the food is good, too. You can enjoy lunch or dinner then cap it off with delish milk tea, as I do! WHEEEEE. I WANT.
In no particular order… Here goes!
5. Banana Leaf Asian Cafe’s Iced Milk Tea Hong Kong Style
SO GOOT. As for the food, my regulars are rotti canai with curry and the Hainanese Set Meal! That can feed 2 people already… Unless you feel like feasting which is perfectly fine in Banana Leaf because they have loads of tasty food. YEAY! There are a few branches all around the metro so it’s easy to find – Greenhills Promenade, Greenbelt, Rockwell, etc. Plus, they’re one of Philippine’s Best Restaurants in 2011!

4. Thai Dara’s Milk TeaI tried the quaint Thai Dara in Kapitolyo – you won’t miss it! They have another branch somewhere in QC as well. Their milk tea is gootenberg! And it’s great with spicy curry orders!
In case you didn’t know, milk relieves your tongue from the heat of spiciness. THAT is the cooling power of dairy!
3. Ang Mio Kio’s Milk Tea
Yummy Singaporean food in Ang Mio Kio – The Podium. And they have a range of delicious drinks like their milk tea and the milo dinosaur!

2. Komrad’s Milk Tea
Komrad in Eastwood is a haven for people who enjoy spicy food. I LOVE IT THERE. Spiced up Chinese food for the win! But their hidden gem is definitely their milk tea. SO GOOD. I want to run over there right now and buy a glass!
1. Som’s Milk Tea
Som’s Milk Tea is sold in plastic bottles, like them typical PET bottles – very easy to hoard and stock in your refrigerator. And they’re REALLY good. I believe they have 2 locations – one is near Rockwell and the other is in the Maysilo circle across the Mandaluyong City Hall. I’d drive by there just to take a few bottles home.
ARGH. Now I’m craving for legit milk tea.

I’m not really a fan of milk tea, it tastes like ughh! So I don’t really get why they became popular. I like green tea though! hehe
Really? Which ones did you taste? I admit, I’ve tasted a few that weren’t good! But these ones I posted are worth a try! Maybe you can go have a meal with a friend and sip off their drink. Hehe. There are loads of things I didn’t like eating/drinking before that I enjoy now. Tastebuds change! 😉
I really don’t know what tea it is, my friend just bought it from a cheap stand in boracay. ill give it a try again next time 🙂 Very nice blog! Bookmarked it!
I really appreciate it!!! Milk tea is making its rounds now in the Philippines, but it’s been a staple in places like Malaysia and Singapore. 🙂
Parang gusto ko narin tuloy tikman uli. Libre ka naman. hehe
