Bo Eight Tea Miri, Sarawak

Friend suggested to go to this bubble tea shop located at Permy after our short lunch date at Hot Point as the shop was closing. Nothing much that I can comment on, so I'm not gonna post anything about that. :)

So ... here we are.

Bo Eight Tea! I've never tried this brand of bubble tea before. But then again, I'm not a big fan of bubble tea and also they all taste the same to me. Hence, you bubble tea fans should definitely drop by to try and let me know. :p

Map!

Here's a map for you guys. Got this when I ask for a name card from them. As I am not quite familiar with this side of town, I find this map particularly helpful.

Moving on ...

According to friend, this shop is opened recently. Thus, the reason for having a lot of flies. Don't see how that make any sense but if they say so .. 

However, they don't have any mosquitoes which I will give them credit for, as I hate mosquitoes! Nor can I see any lizards while I was there.

Anyways, the shop is rather spaceeyyyy which I like as I think that it is a good place to chill with friends.

A picture to show how spacey the place is

For those Curtin students, short breaks doesn't necessarily means that you need to be stuck in the campus library or rush back home. This is the place where you can unwind or even catch up with lecture notes(assuming you don't mind the sound of the blender). I think earphone helps?

Do bring your own laptop/tablet/phone as they offer free wifi. Note the magical word, 'Free WIFI'!

Love the design

I tried their signature milk tea with 'half sugar' which is think is rather okay. :)

The staffs there are really nice and friendly. They are helpful and didn't cause much stir by asking loads of unnecessary questions when I requested for a new straw!

BUT ... there are a few things that I didn't like about the shop.

1. The blender is really too loud! They should opt for something with a cover(like Starbucks) to minimize the sound. I had to raise my voice while talking whenever they start blending stuff! :(

2. The lighting should be reconsidered. It was in the evening when I went, the sun was still rather bright and the store was dim. It was rather uncomfortable. May be they should just enclose the whole store and may be tint the windows? Just my 2 cents. *refer to picture above*

Overall, I think it's a good place to hang out with friends, to catch up and stuff. 

Do give it a chance.
