Weekend Snapshot 8






After we had a busy Sunday we just decided to have Roti and Teh Tarik for dinner for a change.
Are you wondering what the man is doing? He's mixing the tea called Cha Ron/Cha yen for the Thais, Teh Tarik for the Malays or simply Milk Tea but mixed with style (as shown above). The first time I saw how they mixed the tea like this (that was 7 years ago, in this same shop and by the same man) I was really fascinated but at the same time wondered why do they have to do that? But when I saw the result - the bubbles it created and how it tasted, I became addicted to it. It's rich, creamy and sweet. Cha Yen , anyone? :)
A blessed week to everyone!
