Welp, here it goes, like I promised, I will give credit when it is due, and for this location of Kung Fu Tea, it is time! It all started trying to get a year of free KFT via their IG page, sending jokingly posts to friends that I was going to win and brag about it. And then, I followed @kungfuteausa on IG and saw something that looked absolutely out of this world- a Cocoa Cream Wow! And yes, that is what it was called!
I also heard that they sell Thai Milk Tea now, but it is sold out every time I go there (I heard the people who make it were stuck in a cave; too soon?!? bad joke, I know). But, for once, I finally have the opportunity to try a drink that potentially didn't taste like a stripper made it!
So, the other night, I went with my good friend, and it was busy (it was a little after 8PM), but the line seemed to move pretty quickly. The TV screen had the drink I had been dreaming about for days on it, so I knew, they must have had it in store (since the TMT was sold out again, shocker). So, I ended up getting a large, with the milkcap (you do have the choice, heads up). It was going to take about 10 minutes to mke the boba, and I told them no issues, as long as a stripper wasn't making it. Thankfully, I think they put someone else on the job (or like what my friend Sam said, they fired all of them LOL).
They called our drink numbers a few minutes later (I was having fun being a chatty Kathy anyway so who knows how long it really took), and I was sooo excited. They told us to shake it up (I guess they don't shake it so you can see the cool layering and stuff), so I did my best without blowing the sealed lid off the top (that woulda made a mess). I took my first sip and...
Holy shit! It was awesome!!!! It tasted like stripper free butterscotch cream! And, the boba, was soft and flowerless and chewy and warm. It was like a dessert in my mouth I didn't have to pay 10$ a dance for! And, as the drink progressed, I could taste the notes of cocoa in it. I won't lie, that was one of the top 3 boba drinks I have ever had (the other being ShareTea's Oreo shake with boba and Sweet Hut's TIT with boba). And it came from a place I tried my hardest to not like, just to piss off my friends, but now I must come clean, I found something to be a fan of.
However, since it was busy, it was hot in there, I guess I was doing what I do best, sweat. But a lot of people in a small area with machines running on a hot summer day, well, at least that is my excuse!
I am just glad that I was finally able to find a drink that I like here, I hope to heavens they keep it on the menu, even if it means me becoming duke of the place and ordering 2 a day, don't make me... Thank you for finally making me a believer!
