Bubble World

Bubble World


This is a Taiwan Style Restaurant located on Robson Street. This restaurant is next to Donburi Ya Restaurant. In this restaurant, they have milk tea and Chinese Style donburi. Their milk tea is very famous and delicious. In China, we have two different style of milk tea. One type is from Taiwan and other type is very famous in HongKong.



This is their milk tea. There are more than 10 different flavours of milk tea. I will recommend the Original milk tea, Taro milk tea and Sesame milk tea. These three types of milk tea are my favorite flavours. 


This dish may be not very normal and acceptable in Canada because this is made from pork intestine. Pork intestine is not very common in Canada but this is very famous food in China especially in Beijing. I will highly recommend you try this one. (P.S. They clean pork intestine very carefully.)

They also many many good snacks such as Pan Fried Egg Roll.
