Milk tea has become one of Manila's favorite beverages in the last couple of years, after its resurgence in 2018. There are definite bestsellers, there are some drinks that come with flavored pearls, and certain flavors—like brown sugar milk-tea—made waves (we have a list of the best places to get your fix, of course). While the drink promises tea, milk, and tapioca pearls in every sip, some variants of milk tea take it to the next level. Thai milk-tea brand Fire Tiger by Seoulcial Club finishes off a drink with a layer of torched crème brûlée. If you've been wanting to try this drink, you'll be happy to know that the Bangkok-based joint recently opened up shop in BGC on February 25.
Among the drinks you can choose from are Fire Tiger Milk Tea (P150), or milk tea with black sugar bubbles and syrup, brown sugar jelly topped with torched crème brûlée and brown sugar; Fire Tiger Milk (P150), which has everything in the aforementioned drink except that it has mixed milk instead of milk tea; or The Majesty (P160) which has black sugar bubble, pudding, black sugar syrup, mixed milk, cream cheese, and crispy cheese.
You'll know you've found the right place when you're greeted by this giant roaring tiger:
As with most milk-tea shops, prepare yourself for long lines.
Fire Tiger Philippines is at B2, Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City.
