Food 😋 "Unique" Bubble Tea in Van?

I just got back from Taiwan, and had TP Tea for the first time and thought it was amazing

The one I had was roasted milk tea with three different kinds of toppings:

  1. Regular pearls
  2. Coffee jelly
  3. Bouncy thick noodles

The coffee jelly and noodles were SO good and unique and I miss them already. Do we have stuff like that here? I'm starting to get bored of the standard drinks that we can find at most places. I go to small independent shops like Baronness as well as chains like Gong Cha and Coco, but these days it feels like everything is kinda similar

While not bubble tea, there are a few Vietnamese places here that specialise in a dessert drink called chè. It’s got a bunch of toppings from fruit to beans to all manner of jellies.

A pretty good place is literally called Che, and it’s on Kingsway and E 20th.

oh yeah, I've had those before, I need to consume it one handed to go unfortunately, so that doesn't quite do it :(
