"A national bubble-tea chain with a limited snack menu that includes yan su ji (Taiwanese popcorn chicken). The chicken is bite-sized, boneless thigh pieces coated in tapioca starch, salty and crunchy, and served as a shareable, on-the-go snack. Paired with chewy boba, the contrast of textures—gelatinous tapioca pearls against the airy crunch of the fried chicken—makes for a particularly satisfying combination that evokes Taipei night-market street food and a nostalgic after-school treat." - Stephanie Wu
