Sometimes ya juz cant blame angmos who find asian drinks simply disgustin (although personally i dun find chrysanthemum or the so-called forbidden yellow 5 food colorin a prob), but the pearl milk tea is excatly wad jeff describe... http://www.noapologiespress.com/presents/asiandrink/pearlmilk.html
juz look at the color of it.. it looks horrible n its TRUE tt theres paint flecks in it.. it looks more like dandraff to me..n the lil starch balls are white.. they are actually sago la.. those irregular shape one.. its not even round.. shldn call them balls.. didn anyone know tt objects tt are call balls shld be spherical in shape??? haiz its better to drink this with ya eyes close.. its still alright when ya didn get to see how bad it look.. im now thinkin twice whether to try the canned papaya milk....... wonder how ppl get these ideas anyway...
