Go For Tea… Part II

Taro Slush with Popcorn Chicken Rice

Now, I know Jon already did a review of Go For Tea here, but since I ordered something different, I’ll do another one. I didn’t really eat anything the day that I went so I was feeling kind of hungry when I sat down. Go For Tea offers a fair amount of food dishes, even hot pot, which my friends got, but the prices seem to be fairly expensive. I got the popcorn chicken rice ($8.99 + tax), and it is actually a first time I ordered popcorn chicken for myself. Expecting it to be similar to Popeye’s or KFC, I think the popcorn chicken offers a similar taste, yet not as greasy, and that’s a good thing. The chicken wasn’t dry at all and I believe the meat is from the chicken leg, which is the best part. The plate also came with side dishes of wakame salad and ham, giving it a more luxurious feel . There was also a sauce on top of the rice that tasted a mixture of beans and potatoes, adding more flavour overall. Positive reviews were given by my friends about the hot pot as well, but I can’t seem to remember the price nor did I take a picture of it. Aside from the food, I got the taro slush ($5.99 + tax), but I got a large so it was a dollar more. As Jon mentioned before, the large was well worth it and I actually had to rush the drink in the end because there was so much left.

So, at first I thought I would just get something to simply satisfy my hunger, and it turned out to be a good meal in the end so I was happy. For food at a bubble tea place, it is actually decent and even above average considering the quality of food that I get at other places. However, for the price that you’re paying, you can bet that there are other places out there that are cheaper, but Go For Tea opens until 3am so what can you do. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for once being desperate doesn’t turn out to be a bad thing after all.
