Location: Chiayi City, West District

A drink shop highly recommended by local friends. Every time I go out with locals, I love asking them to recommend a place for drinks. They immediately recommended this one. There’s hardly any waiting, and the service attitude is excellent. The speed of the staff's service is impressive.

🌟 Grass Jelly Oolong Fresh Milk with one sugar and light ice.
As soon as I took a sip, I could taste the perfect pairing of fresh milk and oolong. The one sugar doesn’t make the oolong bitter or astringent. The best part is their grass jelly, which is very soft and tender. It melts in your mouth with the drink, and you don’t have to chew it with your teeth. It’s delicious and highly recommended! 😋😋😋

My friend said this drink is a must-order, so I didn’t get any other drinks to try. However, while waiting for my drink, I noticed quite a few people came in to order oolong tea on its own, which also seemed great. I wonder if I can come back to find my friends next time. It’s awesome! 👍

This is another shop recommended by a local homestay owner, conveniently located on the way to catch the train. You can get a cup to take on the train to quench your thirst. I heard the grass jelly is amazing and definitely worth a try. Since we are not picky eaters, we decided to give it a go too. 🖤

This small shop is unexpectedly very popular (perhaps because it is the only location without any branches). The service is quick; you only need to wait in line for a short while before it’s your turn. After some hesitation, I decided to order both drinks recommended by the shop, one of which is the pot-cooked fresh milk tea marked with a ✦ symbol. However, when I got home and did some research, I discovered that more people recommend the oolong milk. 🫠

But still, the pot-cooked fresh milk tea is quite good! You can taste the rich aroma of the tea, and the grass jelly is softer compared to what I’ve had before. Since the grass jelly itself is slightly sweet, ordering it without sugar was just right for us; otherwise, even a small amount of sugar would probably make it too sweet.

In terms of hand-shaken drinks, this local shop is definitely worth supporting and recommending. Personally, I think if you're in Chiayi, 🉑 you should buy a cup to taste. Next time, I would also be willing to return to get a cup of oolong grass jelly milk, looking forward to tasting a flavor different from the fresh milk tea. ✨
