HOTSPOT 15 'Chino cafe'

-
The other day, I was walking in Chinatown Rotterdam, when I saw
this new bubble tea shop called 'Cafe Chino'. Being a bubble & tea love, I had
to go inside and try out their stuff. I have already been there twice actually.

They also have regular tea & coffee but I was here mainly for the bubble
tea of course.
When I was there for the first time, their black tea was temporary out of
stock so I could not order the classical bubble tea (sad time). So I had to pick
something else. I decided to give the #7 taro flavored a try. After my 2nd
comeback I finally had tried the classical bubble tea.

So far I think the 'Yo Yo' bubble tea is the best I can get in Holland.
Maybe Cafe Chino will make me change my mind.
Have a look at the pictures below and read my verdict!

They have Korean lemon tea on the menus! I really like how varied their menu is. It seems I have a new mission here: try all the flavors!
So after I got my taro flavored drink with tapioca, I went to this comfy looking couch.....

....... sat down on my butt...........

.... and took a picture of my drink! What a surprise -cough-
The taro drink was good, you could taste the taro flavor. Tho the drink was quite thick. Is that normal? 
and also, I wish to have more bubbles, it was like gone within a minute or so. :c

Then the classical bubble tea! This one has a strong tea flavor and tasted lots of sugar as well, so definetely going to request for less sugar next time. And it has better flavors than the Yo Yo one I think..

    I love love bubble tea, I'm always a bit worried when I drink it though because of all the bad rumors about it having PCB's in it... I don't think they're true though.

    I can't resist bubble tea! I used to get it all the time in the mall when I went to college in the U.S. But, it just didn't taste of the same as bubble tea around here. What a nice discovery :)

    Taro bubble tea is usually on the thicker side, because of the taro. c: Looks like a nice place to relax with friends~

    Ahh bubble tea! So good and addictive~ My favorite is also the classic, but taro is likely 2nd best :)

    We have a store at home too, but I still haven't tried it! I don't know, perhaps the bubble thingies in it makes me think it's not so nice?

    There is a huge bubble tea coffee shops trend in Barcelona right now, I have only tried the green tea version but I definitely should try the classic. Great review!

    Ik was hier laatst geweest en ik had ook de classic besteld al vond ik 'm niet zo heel erg lekker, die van yo yo vind ik toch beter! Maar qua keus is bij het chino cafe wel meer.

    I love tea places and can't seem to get enough of them. I really like taro milk, but for me, it typically isn't think. It usually has the same consistency as milk. ^^

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily!
