I nvr try gong cha before but many ppl recommend to me. Which is better actually?

Taste is subjective.
A poison is another man's meat.

Why don't you go try both and decide for yourself.
Treat it as a bubble tea tasting adventure of sort.

Haha, I tried chatime. It was okay. But I hate the queue
Have u tried both? Wanna know what would ppl recommend for gong cha

Yes, I tried both but don't like both.
Just did it out of curiosity.
Guess bubble tea is not my cup of tea.

gimme coke with a dab of whisky anytime.

Lol! Whisky is not my cup of tea
I don't like alcohol drinks

I have tried both, in fact 3 types namely ChaTime, GongCha and Taipei whaisit? Still go for ChaTime, GongCha is a bit bland

Taipei Whaisit? Nvr heard before

We go try together la...haha

Speaking of poison, the contamination with the cancer-causing plastic additive diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) kow tim liao or 'malaysia muda lupa'?

DEHP is used as the clouding agent used in powder flavourings and the 3 franchise ones use real tea ( you can see the tea canisters with the tap when they fill the cups ) as the base eg. red tea, black tea etc. Choose flavours that don't use powders like sour plum, jasmine tea, green tea etc and you are more assured. The new franchise has just started in Sungei Wang and it's called Taipei somethning, can't recall the full name. Later something will happen and dampens this trend as it usually happens once the fads get too popular.

teh tarik is teh best-est!

Teh Tarik can kena diabetic wan..Cha time is Teh C and you can control the sugar level & even request them to use your own Equal sugar..so It's gooding & better than Teh Tarik for sure and equally good wth local Teh-C except they can cham wth cincau or pearl balls..

But abit pricey lor..unless everytime they come wth buy 1 free 1 ..which is also pretty frequent

I tried Chatime, Gongcha and there is another one Comebuy, personally i prefer Comebuy.. Gongcha will be my last choice

Does teh tarik use condense milk? Or just sugar?

Condense milk..

ochado!

Personally i like GongCha because of the milk! But got some of my friend dun like the milk taste

OCHADO!!!!

Too Pricey For Milk Tea

And do you have any idea how to make the creamy white cheese which they pour on top of the cup?

For Pearl milk tea, i have tried gong cha, ochado and chatime.

The tatse of milk tea chatime > gong cha > ochado (almost tasteless)

Gong cha is famous of its signature drink and white pearl which those are not original pearl milk tea.

Ochado origins from Sg. Their pudding milk tea was ok and azuki matcha milk tea is the best amOng others types of drink from ochado

Chatime is good but nothing beat M'sian "Teh C"

ya woh. i usually go those Chattime just for smoothies

if want milk tea i prefer ordinary kopitiam/mamak Teh C or Tarik!~

chatime...i really love chatime..

Anyone knows Chatime and Gongcha license fee and what is included in their franchise?

Please give me the real info and not guessing info...thanks!!!

Chatime need rm400k all in..
major shopping center has been taken up

for me...
if i'm craving for milk tea..then i'll choose gong-cha
if i'm craving of the pearl..the i'll choose chatime

but seriously everybody has diff taste bud..better try yourself.=)

Oh? What is in their franchise?

If any of u guys drop by to NSK Trade City in Kuchai Entrepreneur park, u guys can try out the Tealicious bubble tea.... Their shop is inside the Hypermarket...

I found out their drinks and pearl are much tastier than Chatime or Gong Cha.

Worth dropping by a visit to try

You can call them to ask for further details
Got to fill in the forms and wait for their calls

Gong cha!

Chatime.
Else, little taiwan.

depend on your personal taste really.

i like gong cha, but i still prefer chatime as they have more choices.

well i remembered last time i drank a bubble tea in ding cha at taiwan which is superb, not sure if malaysia ding cha has them or not, you can try look for 三国.

Gong cha. more special lol

Gong Cha very particular on special request wan. I went to the Garden branch & I asked for Kosong but asked them to add my "equal" sugar in it..The staff go and check wth lady boss and that manager gave me a lecture on this so called "Mosanto poison" darmit.. Ngeh-ngeh dun wan to add untill I told them Chatime dun do this to me an willingly to accept my special request...darn man...

Bcos of this, I voted on chatime rather than the LCLY Gongcha

Face problem, uncle stimix? Maybe you look like a sinister stranger who was trying to pollute their production line with an unknown substance.

That's another reason why they dunwan to add the equal for me lor in additon to what she think I' adding poison to Gongcha sigh... Sked me complaining Gongcha quality no good if I add that poison or even sue me when I kena food poisoning darm...

It was my last there.. taste wise, Gongcha probably slightly better but very marginal, but their attitude esp the Garden branch...no comment man

bro, bring ur powder equal in packs everywhere u go mah... not many place got equal rite...

Ehh.. I bring my equal everywhere wan lor.. The problem is Gongcha don't want to add my suppied Equal to their tea bcos sked quality problem lah, food poisoning-lah & etc.. Ah chi ah chor all the way..darm...

I like Chatime more.....

I voted Gongcha.
Because fried chicken at Subang + Gongcha at SS15 = Perfect Lunch

haha my fren suddenly recommend me gong cha lately...so i going 2 try in mid valley 2moro soon

Try Come Buy... better than Gong cha and Chatime... IMO.

i like gongcha's signature winter melon tea + red beans/ white pearl.. that's all.. haha..

I like Chatime and Ding Tea for the variety of milk tea they have and most are delicious,
For Chatime I usually get honey aloe lemon or something like this, strawberry pudding aulait, mango smoothie.

GongCha is quite okay but I think their best flavour is pearl milk tea.

And I like Ochado for their pearl but their honey aloe something tasted like medicine! But their pudding was quite nice.

I guess it depends what flavour you want to drink

if winter melon i prefer gong cha. f matcha redbean i prefer chattime

Tried both and reallly liked both. Gongcha is for the days when you chill with family/girlfriend. More of elegence compared to the Chatime's casual feeling. Chatime suits better to be around with friends.

Used to be very addicted to both, but now I quit and drink plain water.

for coffee i perfer Gong Cha, i order 3 differents drinks in cha time (one of it is coffee) and i dont like that

Neither... as to avoid high sugar content consumption... or possibly chemicals drink
Last time saw a documentary about similar type of drink in Taiwan and found out that the drink is made from chemicals only.

just try Cool Blog only

I'm more of a Each-A-Cup person. Chattime has a strange smell I can't get accustomed to.

used to drink chatime matcha drink ... after try orchado matcha ... chatime drink taste watery (taste dilute) ... but most mall i went have chatime branch
