These Bubble Tea drink shops are popping up everywhere. Son K and I shared this delicious Sago Taro Milk Tea the other day, requesting 30% sugar. It was delicious. The sago are small tapioca balls that you see floating on the bottom. Then I googled the nutrition information for tapioca balls. Tapioca is pure starch extracted from the cassava root, albeit gluten free. So a cup of those balls amounts to 540 calories, a carb counter's nightmare. Delicious as it is, I think I will avoid these drinks in the future.
It is Chinese New Year today, Happy New Year if you celebrate, the year of the Rooster.
