Those of you who know me would no doubt have heard my rant about how the prevalence of bubble teas shops are a good indication of economic sentiment. As the ultimate discretionary good, if more bubble tea shops still open (and flourish) then it is an indicator that people still have funds for small luxuries like this. On that note, Coorparoo has finally gotten their own bubble tea shop in the form of Chun Fun How, a Taiwanese chain originating from TaiChung. Always keen to enjoy support more bubble teas near home, I went to check it out.
The menu was fairly standard with an assortment of milk tea and fruit teas. Toppings were on the expensive side at $1 each.
Drinks were made quickly and came in a cute (but sadly non transparent) cup as well as a very innovative cup holder (perhaps to get around the bag laws). I had the orange green tea whilst Dr L had the purple sweet potato milk green tea with bubbles. Mine was customised to no sugar, but it was still a bit sweet with the orange syrup flavour. The tea taste at Chun Fun How was strong compared to other places but I found the orange syrup to be a bit artificial and it doesn't overtake my favourite at orange tea. Dr L also said that the tea taste in his beverage was strong, which sets it apart from the other stores and the pearls were soft and chewy, but otherwise he said it was more or less in line with other options in Brisbane.
Given how close it is to home, I will definitely be back as a matter of convenience (rather than taking the hike all the way out to Sunnybank), but had it not been for the proximity, I probably wouldn't make much effort to come back. At this point, Machi Machi and Milksha remain my undefeated favourites in town.
