Chinglish of the Week #6

One of my favorite new discoveries in the realm of cuisine and beverages is Chinese 'Milk Tea.'  Milk Tea is a wonderful drink that is essentially the combination of hot chocolate and tea, with a little milk flavor added.  You can even get big tapioca balls called "zhen zhu" added to the bottom.

At first, I wasn't sure what to think of Chinese Milk Tea.  In the beginning it kind of tasted like watered-down hot chocolate, but then for a while it tasted like chocolate-flavored tea.  My mind just wasn't able to classify the taste.

Well, considering that Milk Tea can also come in a wide variety of flavors, eventually my mind had to create space for a new classification simply called 'Milk Tea.'  And it is delicious.

Not only that, but apparently there are people dedicated to making sure that each individual cup tastes delicious:





So go out and enjoy a wonderful cup of Milk Tea.....all while knowing that you weren't the only one to enjoy it.   :)
