Boba Jam - City of London,Westminster

I have such amazing memories at this restaurant with a dear friend. We visited Riwa Khan twice in just two days, braving the rain and cold weather to enjoy their delicious icy cold dessert. The menu can be overwhelming, but I have never been disappointed with my choices here. I loved customizing my own obst tapioca sundae and trying out different combinations.

Suck too hard (which trust me will happen when a line of bubbles get stuck) and without fail at least one **** ball will go shooting to the back of the throat blocking the airway. It 's such a no win situation but yet people love them. Hey, even I got excited when I heard that there was a new bubble tea place in town Boba Jam on Shaftesbury Avenue. For all my sitting on the fence I 've been back twice in the space of a week and bought a total...read more
