Spice level warning — Lu Rou Fan is not what I expected
I underestimated Lu Rou Fan. The subtly sweet and aromatic description didn't prepare me for the reality. scallion brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
bubble tea was invented in Taiwan and exported globally as one of the most influential food trends of recent decades. The a family dumpling house setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. soy milk warm cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
