4. Gong Cha
What to order: House Special Milk Earl Grey Tea
Personal favorite: House Special Milk Earl Grey Tea
What is really fascinating about this shop is that you know that your tea is freshly brewed and your milk cream just tastes so heavenly making you want to order just the milk cream and skip the tea only to remember that you’re on a diet. The taste and ambiance is more suitable to the working people although students can always come if they want a variety different from all the aforementioned milk tea selection.
