Street Pearl Shakes/Mobile Bubble Tea

This is a typical morning. Ykaie thought this is the ice cream man and she was asking me to buy one for her. She's not allowing the mobile shake vendor to pass by her so she positioned herself in front of it.Can you see peanutbutter in the background?
Bubble Tea or Pearl Shakes is a very popular drink nowadays. It is usually flavored teas or milkshakes with chewy tapioca pearls.This is perfect for the now starting Summer.
You can find these in malls or kiosks but they're a little pricey when you buy them there. These mobile pearl shakes are more affordable. Although you'll find mostly artificial flavors, now everyone can afford to buy them.
There are four flavors to choose from: Chocolate, Rocky Road, Cappuccino and Buco-Pandan [Coconut-Screwpine].
Ykaie chose Buco-Pandan [Coconut-Screwpine]. I know she did just because of the color.
A Sakto serving of Buco-Pandan flavored Pearl Shake for P10.00 [$0.22].

an entry for and. Have a great weekend everyone!

everyday may nadadaanan akong zag to go. great idea of bringing pearl shakes to the customer, instead of us going pa to the mall. Super ang dami nila around our area :)

Is this really the same as Zagu pearl shakes in malls? Anyway, I'm sure the vendor already sold lots of these, perfect for summer.
