Bubble Tea - Ping Pong Dimsum Version

I've read about all the hype of bubble tea in the Philippines but I guess I have to wait for a few more months until I make my verdict if its worth it. One day I have come across an article in TimeOut (http://www.timeoutdubai.com/) about this controversial drink and one of the restaurants is in Dubai Mall is serving it. My friend Nia and I frequent the place almost every weekend so I asked her to come with me to try it.

Strawberry Vanilla - Ciara's

Calamansi - Nia's

The bill..

Not so expensive and worth it!

We didn't have much of choices since they only serve two flavors, Vanilla Strawberry and Calamansi which we both ordered. I loved both flavors -- right amount of sugar and fruit flavoring. I never even thought that strawberry and vanilla would be a good combination. The drink was refreshing especially for strictly- water-drinkers-even-when-dining-out people like us. The service was very fast and reasonably priced for AED 39 for both of the drinks. I would definitely come back for more bubble tea and dimsum next time. This was the perfect end of our week instead of having the usual hot chocolate from Starbucks :)

Ping Pong Dubai is located at Dubai Mall, Lower Ground Food Court right across Bloomingdale's
