The Alley LuJiaoXiang

The Alley is a premium bubble tea joint that’s Instagram famous all over Asia. Their most popular drinks are the Signature Brown Sugar Deerioca Series, and it’s a MUST TRY! The brown sugar syrup is served warm with the cold milk, and it pairs perfectly together. It’s recommended not to mix it, so you can taste the enhanced flavour and aroma of the brown sugar syrup which is heavenly. The pearls are by far some of the best I’ve had. They’re the perfect consistency - soft, chewy and so satisfyingly warm. The pearls absorb the brown sugar syrup so it’s also sweet. Sometimes, you have to be careful to portion out the brown sugar to milk when your drinking - as it’s easy to drink all the syrup before the milk (and then you’re left with plain milk which isn’t that pleasant). Furthermore, a regular size (500mL) will cost you $6.6, which is quite pricey for a drink. Of course, its reflected in the quality and flavour - but it’s not something I’d get on a regular basis.
