Gong Cha Bubble Tea

We've been Bubble Tea FIENDS lately. We freaking love this stuff! So, the whole Eatyourkimchi Crew today is going for Gong Cha Bubble Tea. It's a pretty popular franchise here in Korea (I'm pretty sure it's from Taiwan) and it makes the best Bubble Tea we've ever tried, so that's what we're talking about today. If you've had Bubble Tea before this won't be new to you, but at least it'll make you crave it again. For people that are new to Bubble Tea and have no idea what it is: prepare for a whole new world. Don't you dare close your eyes. A new fantastic point of view. No one to tell us no. Or where to go.
Oh yeah we write more about it in our blog post, with instructions on how to order and other useful information. Check it out!

[@sophroniavachon4727]

Fast forward to 2020: they have Gong Cha in the US, and it’s delicious! Anyone else re-watching old Simon and Martina videos?

[@wegettinalittlespicy3871]

Holy crap a recent comment!!

[@MissBonvoi]

Its also in Canada too now!

[@abrokecollegestudent3507]

That's awesome. I just looked it up and there's one like 30 minutes away from me. I might have to go there some time.

[@sophroniavachon4727]

ABrokeCollegeStudent I hope you do 😀

[@Midnight0Mistress]

I do and I found Vancouver, BC has it! I am going to try it as soon as possible

[@hayley7760]

I'm here in 2019 STILL laughing at Simon's face when he sips his bubble tea :') xx

[@Heyitsann]

Is it just me or do anyone else miss these types of videos, like the ones with Leigh and Suzy.

[@cathy921ontheradio]

Anna P. I guess its because they aren't employed full time? It was mentioned in one of their videos.

[@annikanin]

I do but I think more are coming.

[@Marshmellowking8]

i miss them still in 2017 :'((

[@itsstrange1213]

2020, I wonder what happened to them

[@bazthespaz95]

SooZee is just WOW, so beautiful!

[@chocolatte41]

I actually work in Gong Cha in Singapore hahaha. Our menu is quite different though. For one, we don't have any ice blended drinks or smoothies. We also have a wider selection of toppings. Also, for those who're curious, the milk cream for the House Special teas are actually made fresh every morning. No, it's not cheese! It's a mixture of dairy products, including fresh milk, whipping cream, butter and a magic powder (I have no idea what it is). It's actually really really fattening once you know what goes inside haha. And you can actually ask for less/no ice in Singapore as well, even though we don't include it in the menu. ^^ Gong Cha is so popular in Korea sometimes I wonder how it would feel to work there since Koi is more popular in Singapore haha!

[@Burnex25TehAwesome]

Gong Cha is in Australia now! :D

[@CharmSUperGIRL]

Not in Perth :(

[@Marco210297]

Which city?

[@s0ju949]

Marco210297 SYDNEY UN CABRAMATTA

[@soccerskillz95]

Erica Chaleunphon FIGHT ME JOHN STREET BRUH

[@s0ju949]

O_O why? you live there

[@bluestar1908]

Bobalife=your gateway into boba. It is SO common here in California. I can't escape it.

[@HapplyFace]

lolicup 4 life

[@bluestar1908]

HapplyFace The only lolicup in my city closed down... D':

[@HapplyFace]

bluestar1908 and then there's like 3 in irvine lol

[@xenonakali1985]

I died

[@SlowlyBlossoming]

+Ami Scherson what do you say Simon and Martina!

[@s0ju949]

+Ami Scherson I see it says jack off

[@FelicianoCookie]

OMAIGAWD YES!!!!!!! XDD

[@RockZombieIAm]

Lol that's long as fuck, but I like it

[@NowhereBeats]

We have actually had bubble tea in the UK for over 10 years. Victory for us. Though actually I have never seen anyone drink it.

[@yonglanliang4888]

really i live in california united states and i see soooo many people drink it and it is not as complicate as the one in korea because you dont have to choose the sweetness and the amount of ice so when i order my drink i usually choose jasmine milk tea with tapioca and lychee jelly and i usually go to quickly or sweet heart or Chatime or Mr. Green bobble

[@Ma5jay5dontxdoxthat]

yonglan liang \That interesting because I live in California too, but we have a lot of places where we have the option to choose all that. Like we have a place called Tea Pumps (Im not sure if you can have milk in it, tho) you can choose the type of tea, flavors (as many flavors in a cup as you want), amount of ice, sweetness, and type of jellies (or you op for what people here call the popping boba which is a flavor of your choice inside this magical little ball thing, so when you bite into it the outter skin breaks and releases the juices :3).

[@yonglanliang4888]

i live in the bay area so idk it might be different

[@Ma5jay5dontxdoxthat]

yonglan liang Oh well I live in the same place. So that makes it even weirder.

[@yonglanliang4888]

lol

[@xxOfficialEpicBlogxx]

Why does martina look so tall when she stands besides Simon? Hes 195cm! How tall is martina?

[@eatyourkimchi]

I squat/do the splits so we can both fit into the frame :D

[@wildglove1494]

Martina is 5"7.5 or 171 cm

[@michaelgalliven2438]

+wildglove why and how do u know that

[@miguelvela7880]

7.5

[@Nicolesid1]

6 years later and still click on this everytime it shows up in my feed. You almost convince me I like boba again, almost.

[@mizzpunk05]

This was my first Simon&Martina video and im still here! :D Thanks for taking me along your journey!

[@marcusgoguanco6921]

What?! Winter melon is the best! But not with jelly! Usually it's best with black pearls or boba! So yeah!😂😂😂👍👍👍

[@MAJE5TYY]

+Marcus Gabriel Goguanco IMO it taste best with jelly AND pearls.

[@dilfdiary]

IKR!!!

[@LittleDhampir23]

Gong Cha's wintermelon sucks ass. One of the worst wintermelon milk tea I've had. So I understand why they don't like it.

[@avemova]

wintermelon without the milk and without any toppings is best for me, never like that white jelly tho

[@vlog-kg1vz]

or with aiyu jelly omg!!!!

[@inspirit4550]

There are 64 outlets in Singapore and I swear the Lemon Roasted Melon Tea is life

[@TOPkeyFishyKyu]

This is the video that started my 6 year obsession with GongCha. And helped me look like a total pro when ordering it. 😍

[@RachelBanaria]

wow, so different coming back to this now that I work in a bubble tea shop. when I first watched this it was more of an abstract concept, but now I drink it alllll the time.

[@NSONE232]

I'm glad i live in Asia, cause we have bubble tea shops everywhere. lol and now i'm craving for one! :s

[@xW0ntons]

I used to work at a Taiwanese boba shop and Wintermelon drink is very expensive item in the menu because it has to be imported from Taiwan. I really enjoy it but it tends to be quite sweet so I would recommend less sweet. Please don't be discourage from trying this drink as it's very delicious !

[@xW0ntons]

Btw Boba is bubble tea basically. We just call it boba in California lol

[@timmylazaro6285]

Love this video, the ending was so funny! You got a new subscriber! 🙋🙋🙋

[@marynguyen7287]

OMg u all crack me up so bad! lol when you are drinking the boba lol love you all~

[@NowhereBeats]

In Hong Kong I saw a poster saying "Drinking Bubble Tea through a straw, is for people who like sucking balls". Since then, I have always sipped.

[@springlady8337]

Whenever I am having an off day, I watch your old videos. They just give me a happy, nostalgic feeling idk. Also, I am 20 years old and NEVER had bubble tea before. I have no idea where to get it where I live. I once googled and found out there was a bubble tea store at the mall an hour and a half away so I drove all the way there and it turned out it closed down BUT THE WEBSITE WASNT UPDATED )):

[@NealNot]

You can actually make it at home! Look up Bubble tea on Amazon and then look up Tapioca balls. Try watermelon first, you can't go wrong with that one. lol If I'm correct its just milk, then the bubble tea comes in a pouch then they blend it together, then after you drop in the tapioca balls into the cup (dont blend that though. lol 😜) and also buy bubble tea traws (if they sell that? o.O idek haha) try to get one thats rewashable and reusable like a hard plastic one, so all you have too do is wash and reuse. Also if you don't have Amazon, check eBay. If anything also just Google -simple ways to make bubble tea at home- and if they dont talk about about tapioca balls.. just buy them anyway xP Not Jelly balls like in this vid cus ew. lol ..UNLESS... its peanut butter flavored... omg..... MIND... BLOWN...

[@myaalliah]

if there is a big asian market around you they migut have it! its where i get mine!

[@cherry__cherry_]

YES GONG CHA SO GOOOD ugh love gong cha. Snow Mounteen also has amaaaazing bubble tea! YAY for bubble tea!

[@glowmoonglow]

this video makes me so happy bc seeing the eyk crew together provides such a warm happy feeling :-)

[@Teachidoll]

You guys need to do this again

[@yokeimon]

Coming from NYC, Flushing is the best to get bubble-tea - more like almost any street corner. There is a district called Korea-town in mid-town Manhattan, next to the Empire State building. Chatime; they so far have the best bubble-tea blends and they don't taste too intense unlike some other bubble-tea bars. Kung Fu Tea is also good but their secret weapon is - Lactaid milk.

[@rnbwbbt]

YESSS GONG CHA BUBBLE TEA IS THE BEST!!

[@ShinethroughDreams]

Btw you can find Chatime in NYC Chinatown. well bubble tea is not invented by the korean so it more easier to find bubble tea stores near Chinatowns including Flushing which is becoming more like Chinatown. I grew up on bubble tea lol

[@melon3795]

YES I AGREE I DRINK BUBBLE TEA IN FLUSHING ALL DA TIME

[@yokeimon]

***** There is a random tea-shop every now and then.

[@joseymartin2751]

I was cracking up at Simon's Eddie Murphy impression! Too funny!!

[@kelleigh5077]

i love winter melon milk tea it`s yummy to me, Simon described it perfectly

[@YureinoFANS]

Wintermelon from gong cha is actually my favorite sweet drink! But you've got to ask them for a lower % of sugar (and I love the white pearls)

[@wyseo1828]

We have Gong Cha in the Flushing, Queens area of NYC :) The lemon ai-yu with white pearls and 50% sugar is really good~ There's also Quickly's (which got trounced by Chatime), Chatime (good and cheaper than the others), and Kung Fu Tea (pretty good, pretty expensive) among others.

[@ocs874]

Omg you guys are hilarious! Simons facial expressions had me dying laughing

[@nancybaez4503]

I've always wanted to try bubble tea and after watching your video I finally did!! Very happy I did. Thank you for the inspiration, much appreciated!!!!!

[@dakcap]

I tried the gong cha branch in NYC and the line was just as long! It's really good!!

[@xrubyxlightx]

Im heading over to NY in 3 weeks and going to gong cha is on my list :3

[@Uhlico]

+Nidia Valle there is no line outside gongcha at the Sydney branch stores

[@CookieLala97]

I've been watching FAPFAPs for, like, hours and now I'm dying for ramen and boba and unhealthy Asian snacks.

[@Cheekumpeekum]

I think I watched Simons reaction 8 times....only to laugh so hard I felt I was gonna pass out. I'm gonna watch it again. Lmao

[@malerieglasser5276]

You guys make the best videos!

[@kristenlee5969]

wintermelon with black pearl is a huge hiit here in the philippines

[@OranJJeTofu]

omg now i totally feel like getting bubble teeeaaaaa! :/ sadly, it's 3AM, so i don't think that's happening lol I always get green tea flavor!!! i love everything green tea xD

[@anlu9506]

Simon's song and dance in the beginning was so cute!

[@coolitz]

I've been drinking Bubble Tea since I was 15... that was in Melbourne. I'm now 32 and still loving it! I've seen Gong Cha in Adelaide but haven't tried it yet... one day I will try these non-traditional ones. Someday.....

[@bigbangsofly]

[@laukristabelle2690]

Yep koi is so good

[@jnyerere]

I just wanna hop on a plane to Seoul like ASAP!!!! Too bad I'm dirt broke!

[@AbsolutelyRuwaydah]

[@DinoRanger-yk9hz]

[@jnyerere]

Alfi Haziq a plane ticket to Seoul several times more expensive than a monthly electric bill, so what exactly are you talking about?

[@DinoRanger-yk9hz]

CzarJuliusIII u are said u are dirt broke

[@jaaayaka]

THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT LET ME DISCOVER SIMON AND MARTINA LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!! SO THANKFUL

[@danayadivon1104]

[@ChadVarquez]

[@khuxiong4589]

Aaaah.... All the food and drinks from these vids look so good! T^T I want some

[@22crazzzzzygurlctx]

the house green tea is really the best I drink it all the time when I go to gong cha haha so happy that Martina chose it cos I thought she would be going for the black tea

[@mairyuzaki8463]

they finally opened a location in toronto. and i walked in and they were playing 21st century girl and my day was made.

[@nicoles9373]

Simon without beard is giving me gay best friend vibes haha

[@amandajones7939]

omg im so happy you said winter melon tastes like leftover cereal milk! thats exactly how i described it when i first moved to taiwan and my friends in the states wanted to understand. i am also not a fan but i know some people really like winter melon.

[@walkinontherain]

oh my god. I heard about your channel before but I never really care about it. There are thousand of korean review channels out there. And then one beautiful day, the keyword "korean skin care" bring me to you guys, and now I'm stuck here, lmao till 1am in the morning. Furthermore, your information is really informative, big thump up

[@zhokae]

In Singapore, the ones that are really common are Sweet Talk, KOI Café and Gong Cha. They are really popular especially KOI but they are kind of expensive and since they are really popular amongst teenagers, we're all broke because it's so good! -fails at controlling weeping-

[@kimnguyen-tl8gx]

We have Gongcha in Fremont, CA! It's my favorite place!

[@ebbygal1111]

OMG I died from laughter when Simon took a sip of his tea. His face!!! Lmaooooooooo!!! I can't breathe! xD

[@JacquiTen]

Gong cha just opened its first store in Mexico although it’s not my city it’s planning to open one here and i just remembered this video and I’m just so happy!!!!

[@athalia3661]

There are 3 in California, 2 of which in San Jose...

[@troytruong9561]

Athalia Bay Area!!! The only one I know is the one in Fremont :p

[@juriafam3080]

Athalia Let's just remember that this was filmed on the year 2013...

[@BloodyxMarley]

One in the shopping center I work at in Saratoga!

[@SillyBubblesMC]

Yes i have been to both. also us Californians are very lucky because theres only 14 shops in the USA. i hope this information was right.

[@brigomez2895]

Athalia I finally found one in NY. So happy

[@maicovers2239]

If SooZee turned into an idol, I would be her fan. She's so precious! I love asian people.

[@b4nhbee]

Why thank you

[@maicovers2239]

VIVIAN NGUYEN waitt, are u SooZee? hehehe... n.n sorry the english I speak spanish

[@b4nhbee]

No I'm not soozee but I'm Asian so I felt happy

[@maicovers2239]

Oh well :D that's what I really feel. Ya' cool people

[@bellairawan3592]

Ugh yes SooZee is so pretty (‾u‾)

[@peachxr]

Bubble tea is really really popular among teens in singapore. There are like many different shops of bubble tea at about everywhere!! I loveeee it alot!! Esp with tapioca pearls in it! The white jelly is probably nata de coco which is coconut jelly!

[@thefuumanchuu]

A gong cha opened in NYC earlier this year and I never tried it, I finally did a few days ago and it is by far the best I've had yet.

[@ItsMeRhaine]

Here in California we call Bubble Tea just boba... I personally love the Milk Tea, Thai Tea, and Tiger Tea which is a combination of the Thai and Milk Tea it's the bomb or I also love the blended ice drinks. What you guys need to really try is snow ice (or shaved snow), it is SO GOOD!

[@jacobma1025]

Bunnii they're in Seoul, I'm sure there's plenty of shaved ice where they are.

[@judyouo8786]

Bunnii lol wtf it's called shave ice not shave snow?

[@LuMachik]

Soo Zee is so gorgeous my goodness :o

[@fasfaasfa4043]

winter melon bubble tea is so good, it has such a good fragrant

[@purplemunkee2323]

We just got a bubbly tea place in Bath (England) and it made me soooo happy! Been obsessed with this drink since I first tried it in 2008 in Australia and I drank loads of it on my visit to Korea. I loved Gong Cha - my fave flavours were Black Milk Tea and Taro Milk Tea :-)

[@sonjalee7400]

The white jelly in Singapore actually taste quite good! :D It's a popular choice with Winter Melon Tea here. :D

[@user-hv5mk3kn8n]

That's what I'm saying!!! Wintermelon milk tea with white jelly is my favorite!!

[@camellllia]

There's many GongCha outlets in Singapore ^^

[@joanneashley7636]

Aww... Winter Melon milk tea one of my favourite :)

[@ericadeluna9491]

I enjoy watching y'all. Both of you make me laugh :)

[@alphaandliarize]

MY FAVOURITE IS WINTER MELON LIKE FUCK YEAH THE SWEETNESS OF THE TEA AND THE SALTINESS OF THE CHEESE ON TOP LIKE FUCK YEAAH

[@JzLL15]

We have Gong cha here in our country, but boy its as expensive and luxurious as starbucks == lucky enough we have other cafes that sells bubble teas and stuff, and my god winter melon is the best! dnt know why you hate it though

[@SpeedyBlueDemon]

I just tried bubble tea for the first time today. I don't like tea but I sure liked this. I'd definitely get it again.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Yay that your friends/crew, who come with you on each FAPFAP and WANK adventure, got in front of the camera for the intro this time. Bubble tea, one of the things my sister loves to get whenever she's in an Asian neighborhood in a new place, just like I love to get seaweed salad.

[@boogiebear16]

Does anyone else think Soozee is beautiful :D

[@PolarBear-mj9wt]

Gong Cha Earl Grey Milk Tea is good too!

[@tigerlily7627]

Totally agree :)

[@cottoncandyflossful]

Lol the winter melon tea is a favourite and top seller in every branch of gongcha here in Malaysia! I personally like it with white pearls.

[@hckynrscnd8916]

Somehow I missed this video 4 years ago when it came out and I was thrilled to find it today and get to watch something new of yours. Bubble tea is great, mind you I'll avoid most of those flavours now that you've discovered for me how gross they are, haha

[@tina7151]

I like winter melon T-T

[@roxannefoster9141]

Can you order there without speaking Korean? I would like to go there when I'm on holiday in South Korea but can't speak Korean, will I have to "sign" what I want to order or will they understand a bit of English? Thank you and I love your videos!! ♥♥♥

[@susiemoon8766]

yes, since our menu is also in english

[@roxannefoster9141]

Thank you!! ♥♥♥

[@luz9700]

OMG LOL 4:40!!!! I absolutely love Simon's face!!! I can't stop laughing!!!! XD poor guy...

[@chigasaki06]

+myungsoo kim Really? Can't wait to try it.

[@Meshahaha]

+myungsoo kim RIGHT? I didn't think it would be good because it was such a small shop (the one right in K-town) and when I tried it I fell in love soooooo hard! Definitely the best bubble tea place I've tried yet, and I wish I had watched this video sooner so I'd have known... so many trips to Manhattan without stopping there!

[@april-nyc5544]

+myungsoo kim there's actually more than 2 in NYC

[@NealNot]

2 what? bubble tea places? There everywhere from what I've seen.

[@Meshahaha]

+Neal Caraballo There's only 4 Gong Cha in NYC, and I'm sure OP was referring to those and not any "bubble tea places".

[@suzygonzalez3871]

[@samcopernicus]

Yep heaaaaaaps in my area. Like almost right next to eachother

[@tiffchan2201]

The house special cream green tea is one of my favorite. I usually drink the tea together with the cream from the cup edge. Then, I stir the remaining cream into the tea.

[@jeffersonsamuelfoo6353]

Soozee... my heart just dropped... oh gawd!!!

[@13MusicequalsLife]

Once i got Almond milk tea and for me it was really gross because it was spicy not like hot spicy but it had a spicy cinnamon toothpaste taste?? LOL then i had mango boba which was delicious

[@Zooumberg]

Wait! You can actually get cinnamon toothpaste?

[@13MusicequalsLife]

Yeah, there is such thing as cinnamon toothpaste :D Cinnamon is like the second used after mint. I personally don't like the cinnamon toothpaste because it is spicy.

[@Zooumberg]

I'm not a fan of cinnamon.

[@arianta619]

actually, we also have Gong Cha here in Australia

[@verynick]

Australia has everything as far as korean products go lol

[@jasmineliu1569]

I love the classic pearl milk tea
