Ingredient appreciation — what makes Bubble Tea special

What sets Bubble Tea apart is the handling of soy-braised pork. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the subtly sweet and aromatic result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

bubble tea was invented in Taiwan and exported globally as one of the most influential food trends of recent decades. The a family dumpling house atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Kavalan whisky as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Bubble Tea is the place to start.
