After coming to Tainan for so many years, and being taken care of by great friends and locals I would like to share some of my favorite places to eat.

Bubble Tea Places
Bubble tea is a tea-based drink originating in Taichung, Taiwan in the early 1980s that includes chewy tapioca balls or a wide range of other toppings. Ice-blended versions are frozen and put into a blender, resulting in a slushy consistency. There are many varieties of the drink with a wide range of flavors.
Alternative Names: Boba; Pearl milk tea; Boba milk tea; Boba tea; Boba nai cha; Tapioca tea.
