  • For a few years, a treat for me in central London would be to get a watermelon bubble "tea" (no tea involved) from Jin cafe in Chinatown (the place on the corner that often had someone making dumplings in the window). The perfect quencher on a hot day, no milk, not too sweet and seemingly actual juice. Sadly Jin cafe is no more, and the dedicated bubble tea places mostly seem to be chemically coloured and flavoured excessively sweet concoctions.

    Think I first tried in Taipei where they were more like juice bars - emphasis on fresh fruit and juice. Papaya+milk was great, with or without tapioca pearls. Anyone know of a decent bubble tea place in London that uses juice rather than syrup?

    Didn't realise this was a thing. Tbh it still doesn't compute - like someone asking for a freshly made Wham bar.

  • If you'd started with fruit leathers that then got replaced with Wham bars it might compute better.

    (Although, I loved wham bars as a kid. I have a distinct memory of somewhat ruining a woolly jumper putting some up my sleeve - which I used to do with food I was saving for later.)
