Taiwanese dining with bubble tea at TenRen’s

Banana Mango slush @ Ten Ren's Tea

It was time for lunch one Saturday but the girls wanted to have some bubble tea. So, we decided to go to Ten Ren’s where, apart from lunch, they also serve delicious bubble tea!

For their dine-in combo meals, they had a promo discount of $3 for drinks so it did not hurt so much to spend $6-8 for each bubble tea! Their menus did not call it out specifically nor did the server mention anything but I thought the meals were also cooked in tea as I read somewhere. Either way, I couldn’t taste the tea in the dishes we had but they were all good. 

Hubby and I felt like having noodle soup so I got the Creamy chicken soup with noodles and he got the Creamy Pork Soup Noodle with Satay Sauce. Both the broth and noodles were good. The crispy chicken was the same as DD#1’s Taiwanese Crispy chicken (made with pou chong tea?) —although hers was not soaked in soup, and instead came with rice. It was very flavourful and the serving was decent.

DD#2 also had chicken, but she got a fried chicken leg.

Grandma got fried pork cutlet (made with osmathus tea?) which tasted similar to the crispy chicken. Quite flavourful but a bit on the dry side.

We got some bubble tea for dessert —we got all slush of banana mango, mango, strawberry lychee and grape lychee. Of course, we had to get tapioca. Quite delish! DD#1 especially liked her newfound favourite strawberry lychee while I stuck to my usual mango slush.

Grandma’s grape lychee tasted of artificial grape juice, but it wasn’t so bad. She wouldn’t pick it again next time.

All in all, a decent meal with good service and yummy bubble tea. Without the discount for the drinks, it would not have been a good value.
