"Hubby was craving for Pinapaitan and Kalderetang Kambing which were both tasty but expensive. They were soupy and not a lot of meat. "

"Donut was very tasty and Chizu taro was yummy."
"I got about pearls of boba in it, which is not much considering it's a $8+dollar drink. I did think that it tasted pretty good. I tend to like sweet things in general and it did have the taste of brown sugar. It might better to order in person so you can ask for more pearls if they don't put a lot. Also watch out for the seal, mine wasn't on all the way so cream got everywhere when I tried to put the straw through."

"First time trying it and it was soooo good banana slush is now one of my new favorites"
"I pre ordered for it to be ready at 3-3:20pm. At 3:25 when I arrived, they have not even made the drinks. Had to wait 7 mins for them to start making them. What is the point of preparing then? Also the pictures in the DoorDash Menu is very inaccurate and misleading. Every drink looked like there was a topping included e.g. the Mango Smoothie had some green gelo inside the drink in the menu photo. With the wait and the inaccuracy, I would unlikely to order from them again: neither via DoorDash or in person. "

La distribución uniforme de los ingredientes hace que todo esté fresco y sabroso, y llegó a la temperatura perfecta. Además, no estaba grasoso ni aceitoso. Estaba realmente perfecto.
