Ever since the milk tea craze took off and cemented itself in our culture, boba or tapioca pearls have become a staple in this particular beverage. But these chewy bad boys don’t go exclusively with milk tea. Check out these boba-themed treats one can find in Cebu made by proudly local businesses:

Koala Tea (@koalateaph)

Milk tea-flavored soft serve topped with chewy pearls—it’s the beloved beverage but in ice cream form. With the sweltering temps lately, this seems like the perfect treat to cool down with on a hot summer day. Koala Tea has branches in Lahug, Escario and Mactan. Delivery is also available through food delivery apps.
