Fairly fresh on the bubble tea race, Serenitea's branch at IT Park Lahug offers an wide range of delicious freshly brewed tea mixed to perfection. There were no gimmicks, no fancy labels and names, no blatantly annoying bright lights. It was a drink presented in its barest form. For those looking for a stronger caffeine hit, patrons can get coffee based beverages at an affordable price.

There were several flavors to choose from, and a variety of tastes one could sample. Personally, I prefer drinks that have a subtle hint of caffeine but big on other flavors.

I also like experiencing new tastes and discovering new things that excite the taste buds.

We've been visiting this place for the umpteenth time, and frankly, of all the other bubble tea places, this has got my vote.

Verdict
A: 4/5

This place had a lot of flavors, with additions and sinkers you can add into your drink. You can also have the option to reduce the sugar level that they use upon your request. Also, their drinks are always made everyday with the freshest ingredients to make sure your needs are met with the highest quality.

After carrying my stuff and moving them to storage, we decided to grab some snacks to replenish the *lost* energy. It was a toss between cinnabon and bubble tea, the latter emerged victorious.

The new bubble tea place along Kingsway was seated right on a major intersection so it was hard to miss. It was cold and windy but I got the lychee slush with coconut jelly and we also tried the taro pancake.

The slush gave me brain freeze but it was so good. The taro pancake also turned out great. It was basically taro wrapped in batter and deep fried, so it's crunchy on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside. Reminded me of deep fried Mars bars (deep fried what? that's another story =)).

Verdict:
N: 3.0/5.0
