With its delicious and different take on a supposedly typical drink, milk tea became a real hit all over the world. The popularity reaches among youngsters as their convenient drink, just enjoying it in a cafe or consuming it while on the go. A crazy food trend indeed that starts way back 2019 here in the Philippines. It was loved by many milk tea fans and milk tea shops keep popping up with different menus that will ensure anyone can find their perfect cup!

HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR PERFECT MILK TEA?

Nowadays, it's really hard to find your perfect milk tea, especially if there's number of milk tea shops offering extensive menus in the market. But it's  still surprising to see someone you know drinking milk tea at least once a week or every day, queuing in hours, or having delivered it right at your doorstep.

Sipping my 1 litre Milk Tea from Driptea

The rising of Milk Tea becomes unprecedented with the idea of a healthy, competitive market, more innovations and trends came up and reach Davao City. Coming in arrays of variants, milk tea was more than just for your palate; but also for your eyes. The cup sizes and designs make a part of the marketing & promotions, wherein consumers get a photo shot for their Instagram, a status symbol that something most of the millennials do for the 'gram.

Here in Davao City, people went crazy with DRIPTEA. It garnered so much hype especially there P99 Overdose Milktea 1 Litre. They're not just hyping on the size of their milk tea, but also the freshness and the taste of it! And I got curious with it so I message their Facebook Page.

DRIPTEA started last March 2019. It was founded by Mr. Thor Gomez a former barista in one of the leading milk tea company in the Philippines. Now Driptea has 83 stores operating nationwide and continue through franchising.

I message Driptea Davao and ordered their Classic Okinawa Milk tea 1 Litre and added one large French Fries.

Honestly, when my order was delivered, I got shocked on how big is the 1 litre Milk tea of Drip Tea!

When a pandemic hits the Philippines, Davao City economic drop to its lowest rate and it really affects the financial system of the businesses.  There are many restaurants in Davao City with thousand of workers, owned by local entrepreneurs, and most of the companies are having problem on how to maintain their income despite pandemic, that's why some food establishments open their services online through mobile app food delivery like FOODPANDA.

Disclaimer this is not a sponsored post, this is based on my personal experience with FoodPanda.

When FoodPanda invites me to their media launch in 2017 here in Davao City,  I already had a clue that this kind of food online service will be a great hit here in Davao.

I can still remember,  when calling my Lolo's favourite restaurant and a rude host will answer, whether you will be put on hold too long or having to scream your order through a loud noise. This time no more hassle, thanks to the amazing on-demand food delivery service apps like FOODPANDA. With just a few taps on the screen, we now have access to hundreds or new and delicious restaurants by using the FoodPanda Mobile App.

I admit at first I hate their service. Not once, but twice. I've ordered online using FoodPanda mobile app, and they always decline my order. First reason, no rider is available in my area. Second, they accept my order, but it takes them almost an hour in preparing my order, and suddenly they message me that they cannot deliver in my area and I already paid it through debit card, the sad part is that they don't have a system that time on how to resolve the problem in repaying or refund money. It takes them days to return my money and that experience made me STOP ordering online using their app.

That's why food and other services are available through online transactions.

I also commend their riders, for their hardship and sacrifices. Their tasks are very difficult, the danger is everywhere. They move around delivering our food, while we who are staying home, living a luxurious life limiting our exposure to the corona virus and we are lucky. Although people are moving less compared before the crisis, more people are staying home the most, especially weekends that's why food delivery apps are very useful nowadays.
