This Bubble Nini Tea Soy Milk Tea with Glutinous Rice Balls ($8.50) consisted of a soy milk tea made with a jasmine green tea base and topped with a skewer of glutinous rice balls and a generous dusting of soybean powder. Served cold (not available hot), the dewy floral notes of the jasmine green tea base came through with a balanced sweetness that’s smooth but without the distinct notes of soy that come from Western soy milk-based drinks. The sweetness is countered in the finish by a hint of saltiness from the pink salt cheese foam that is surprisingly palatable and without a sharp cheese flavour. Finally, the glutinous rice balls are soft and chewy with more moisture than the dango from Japanese cafes.
