Instead of egg-flavoured custard, Bibble & Sip infuses the custard with hojicha tea, and embeds it with tapioca pearls, and Ando creates a version that is not even sweet and where the bubbles are on the top rather than inside the tart.

Of the past year or so in NYC, we have spotted a curious trend of bubble not being contented with being confined within said plastic cup. Because – as we learned when we visited about five years ago – nothing satisfies your thirst quite like a plastic cup of black milk tea with tapioca pearls bobbing around waiting to be slurped up, sucked in and chewed out.
