KC. Like the bottom sign says, if you attend TaiDa, you have to try this store's most popular drink.
They sell a few drinks, 30 NT each ($1 CAD), but they are most well-known for their milk with tapioca 青蛙撞奶. Everyone in the area always pays a visit to this store.
I'm not kidding, this is how much people love this store. Worth the line-up even when it's raining. And there's a line-up everyday during busy hours too.
It's was the very first place that my NTU student volunteer took me when I arrived in Taipei early September. I still remember how the milk was cold and how easily it went down your throat on a hot summer day. But the chewy tapioca balls were warm and coated with the sweetness of brown sugar, making the drink just perfect.You can get 珍珠奶茶 anywhere in Taiwan, with the overwhelming amount of bubble tea/drink chains at every corner possible, but I would pick this milk with tapioca over milk tea with tapioca any day. Milk tea is over-rated compared to this!
Their second most popular drink is 檸檬愛玉 lemon aiyu jelly, a refreshing slightly sour drink. Aiyu jelly is a special jelly made from a fruit of the fig family. Wikipedia probably explains it better. It's very popular in Taiwan.I believe there they have only this one store in the entire Taiwan. SO GO TRY IT. You can't forget how the store looks like with the boss' face as the logo like that!
