    Usually I don't really trust tea places inside a foodcourt but Tea Plus was a nice surprise.

    After looking through the menu, I decided to try the Earl Grey Milk Tea with half sugar.  Good thing I went with half sugar too cause that thing was still sweet so definitely request less sugar if you don't like your drinks too sugary.  Very nice earl grey fragrance.  They use powered milk for the dairy, and shaken in that crazy shaking machine for quite awhile so it was mixed well.  I believe the guy who made my drink fresh brewed my tea, which was pretty cool.  Maybe it's because early grey isn't as ordered as much so it doesn't sit in those big gallon jugs.  

    Didn't opt for any boba/pearl/bubble/whatever the heck everybody calls it nowadays (it'll always be boba to me) since I wanted to try only the tea but plenty of people were ordering their drinks with it.

    Also tried a bit of my friend's Milk Green Tea.  Tea flavor was definitely not as strong but that's to be expected with green tea.  

    Price is reasonable and for a place with so much food, nothing better than it wash it all down with a nice cool tea drink!

    PS.  Did you notice the Nike check logo as part of their logo?  LOL

    Kiwi Green Tea with pearls! The balls were just the right consistency and the right sweetness.  

    It was delicious!

    There were like at least 10 tea places @ Crystal Mall - thought I'd try this  one out because it was one of the tea places that did only bubble tea and looked the neatest...

    the reason for my 2 stars... was because

    1. if there are avg of 2 people in waiting line, and about 4 drinks that have to be made, my drink should not take 15 minutes to make - it's bubble tea for crying out loud !
    2. pearls were all mushy... and not good
    3. they literally pour coffee maker into the slush/milk teas... instead of using milk  + other healthier alternatives, so watch out. Calorie-wise, it might be more fattening than that fried rice you had for lunch
    4. dumb, lost employees. There were 3 people working there... one person took orders, one person made orders, and the other girl just was going back and forth between the two people looking confused (yet busy somehow) and doing nothing.

    Since I save my 1 star reviews for horrendous experiences (which this one came close to, but at least their bubble tea didn't make me gag, which stopped me from giving 1 star review), you can go ahead and try your luck with this one ... but I'm never going back here, especially with a lot of other options within 10 steps of this place
