The fascination with bubble tea has eluded me. To me, it's an overly sweet, artificially flavored concoction that somehow has captured the appreciation of young people around the world. Leave it to a New York chef to turn the drink on its rim:From the NYT: At Bar Q, a pan-Asian barbecue restaurant that opened last month on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, the bar is serving spiked bubble tea. Bubble tea, you know. That’s the Chinatown treat in which gummy balls of tapioca hunker down in the bottom of a plastic cup filled with sweetened tea and milk. Sucking those odd little spheres through a ½-inch straw is a goofy and addictive pleasure that started in Taiwan in the late 1980s, when it became a hit with schoolchildren, and has since spread to most corners of the world.But it is now of legal drinking age, which is where Anita Lo, wielding a bottle of vodka, comes in.
