Juice Cubi now open in Egi Taft

Happy to be back at one of my favorite milk tea shops here in the Philippines, Juice Cubi Philippines. But not in MOA because they just opened a new branch in Taft.

Between MOA and Taft, the space in MOA is much bigger than Taft branch. The only difference is that in Taft, they have a mezzanine.

Since we’re invited in their Media Launch, they prepared us some snacks.

Of course, we wouldn’t miss to try their drinks! They have 6 series to choose from.

MONSTER SERIES

The cup used here is reusable. Once you bring it on your next order, you’ll have a 10 php discount. Amazing, right?

Our favorite from the Monster Series is their Starry Night which changes it color when you pour a lemon juice on it.

CUBI SERIES

Love the bottle! This one is also reusable. You can also put hot drinks here. For the flavor, you can really confirm that the fruits they use are fresh!

BLENDED ICE SERIES

Both drinks are our fave! The Minty Choco taste like “Dynamite” candy. Brings back our childhood. The Mangolicious is so refreshing.

FRUIT TEA SERIES

My favorite here from the Fruit Tea Series is the Lemon Kumquat Yakult. According to our server, Kumquat means calamansi. This is so refreshing.

CARAMEL CHEESE SERIES

The cream cheese is to die for. A must try, indeed!

MILK TEA SERIES

Their Cubi Special Milk Tea is one of my favorites also in Juice Cubi because they use yogurt instead of the usual milk. We also tried their Taro Black Sugar Milk Tea and surprisingly, it is so good. Not too sweet and has a bit coffee taste.

And we have a good news for you, guys! This January 13 is their Grand Opening Day and they have wonderful promos for all of us.

Skete Milktea Laboratory, now open in Welcome Rotonda!

So happy to announce that Skete Milktea Laboratory has opened a new branch in Welcome Rotonda! In case you missed it, I already went to their main branch in Quiapo. Check our full experience here.

One thing I loved about their shop is their interior. Aside from their logo, which is a corgi, I like the vibrant color and also the ambiance. Every corner is instagrammable and has beautiful sets of playlist.

The branch here is a bit smaller compared to their main branch. Although the staff here are many compared to the Quiapo branch, I liked the service more at their main branch. The staff there are more approachable and accommodating.

Now, let’s start the PAR-TEA?

Unfortunately, the food served here were few compared to our first visit because according to their staff, some of the ingredients were out of stocks.

Did you know that their food and drinks here are affordable? Yes, you may check their menu here for your reference.

For the drinks, you may choose from their Petite size up to their Giant size. Amazing, right? For as low as 45 php, you can order a milktea already.

The following photos were our order from Skete Milktea Laboratory (Welcome Rotonda branch):

This isn’t available on their menu but this was the first snack they served to us! Loved the sauce! We also had Potato Twist in Cheese Flavor!

Happy kid right here after tasting their Al Pesto! Definitely one of our faves here at Skete!

Skete Milktea Laboratory: Newest milk tea shop in Quiapo, Manila

Looking for a new hangout place with your friends around Manila? Well, we’ll recommend a new milk tea place for you.

They recently opened last August and still on soft opening. They are planning to do the grand opening before October ends (mid-October).

The place itself is cute. I like the ambiance especially their model logo, which is a corgi. HAHA. They also have a cute backdrop beside the counter where you can have some photo ops.

The only sad part is that it has a limited seating capacity. Hope they will expand it soonest. But nonetheless, the place is good for a quick hangout time with your friends.

Here is their menu…

Now, let us introduce the food and drinks inside Skete Milktea Laboratory. They serve milk teas, fruit teas, and other refreshing drinks. They also have pastas and finger food that comes in a very affordable price.

PASTAS

Let us start with the drinks. They first served us their Cream Puff Series. Available in Medium (16 oz) and Tall (22 oz).

We liked them both but for us, the Chocomalt is the winner. Perfect especially if you’re a chocolate lover. Also, perfect for kiddos! Both is instagrammable. LOL.

My favorite! <3

They also have Yakult Blend Series. We got their Passion Yakult that has natas and edible Passion Fruit seeds. And if you’ll ask us if what will be our number 1 drink here, it will be the Passion Yakult. YOU MUST TRY THIS!

Now, let’s go to the Milk Tea with Pearl Series. We got different flavors and in different sizes. They are available in Petite (12 oz), Medium (16 oz), Tall (22 oz), and Giant (1 L).

In this series, our favorite will be the Thai Milk Tea.

Thai Milk Tea in Petite (65 php)

Their Wintermelon Milk Tea is also good. Note that you can add sinkers like we did. We add Rock Salt & Cheese for only 20 php.

And last but not the least, we had their Classic Milk Tea in Giant! This is perfect for milk tea lovers out there! Look at the size!

Now we’re done with the drinks, we’ll be presenting their snacks and finger food.

For starter, we got their Nachos. This is one of our favorite also. Perfect partner with the Passion Yakult.

They also have Potato Twist that comes in 3 flavors (BBQ, Cheese, and Sour Cream).

The next one is really the bomb! This Cheese Bombs are so good and cheesy! Must try!

For their pastas, we had the Chicken Ala King, Al Pesto, and Spaghetti Bolognese. For me, Al Pesto was the winner but for Ian, it was the Spaghetti Bolognese.

Aside from this branch, they have 2 upcoming branches that will open before the year ends. So watch out and stay tuned on their announcement!
