Bubble Teas of Kota Kinabalu
Eu and I were looking through our album of the trip we made to Canada in 2002 and it brought back quite a lot of wonderful memories.
One of the funniest has got to be hubby’s old classmate who migrated to Canada in the late 80s.
This guy was genuinely surprised that we knew about pizzas and that we have Pizza Huts in Brunei. “In Brunei?” he kept asking. I didn’t think he really believed us.
He also insisted that we try the Taiwanese bubble tea which was something new in Vancouver then. As we all know, bubble tea was already in our market for a few years at that time.
I’m not sure if the bubble tea scene is still hot there in Vancouver but in KK, all the youngsters would know about YoYo and EazyWay, the two most popular bubble tea outlets.
I am never a bubble tea fan and actually, neither is hubby. But for some reason, everytime we went back to KK, he seldom misses a chance to drop by either one of these places, which coincidently have outlets less than 3 km from my house in Damai.
Here’s the YoYo at Damai.
I’m not sure what is their best drinks but this place is almost always packed. I honestly can’t see what is so appealing about this place - but I certainly know why the guys like to hang out here! I usually look like the oldest girl around! I guess, girls my age hang out at CoffeeBean or Starbucks, thank you very much!
This is the EazyWay.
EazyWay is closest to my house and it’s not as popular as Yoyo and as far as I know, was never full. But the good thing about this place is that they also offer some items such as spaghetti and ice-cream, which I believe YoYo does not. Their drinks are cheaper too (according to hubby and my brothers) but the interior are not as smart as YoYo, which is probably why the hip crowds are seldom here.
So which is your scene, YoYo or EazyWay?
