Bubble Tea Craving
Sunday, April 6th, 2008 - 1:07 pm by sd-b
I went to Smiling BKK by Al Wasl road for some Thai food last week. The food was disgusting so don’t even think of going there unless you are a glutton for punishment or do not care about eating good food. Consider yourself warned.
I did however enjoy the Thai iced tea. It reminded me a little bit of Bubble Tea that I used to get in the Chinatowns of New York. So now I have a huge craving for taro Bubble Tea (in the image below, it’s the one on the far right).
Don’t know if I can find Bubble Tea here in Dubai - but I will try Karama where I found the Korean grocery and maybe even Deira where I found the two Chinese groceries. Wish me luck!
Plan B would be to order a Bubble Tea kit off of Amazon.com.

The restaurant had been recommended to us and we were planning to go this week. Hmmmm..I might re-think that.
(The little Thai restaurant Ruan Thai on Al Diyafah Road in Satwa is good)
seabee’s last blog post..The good side of Dubai
Ruan Thai…will give it a try.
Smiling BKK served me raw chicken (which they wouldn’t take off the bill at first), food was bland, and quality of the meats and seafood left much to be desired. I grew up eating street food and chinatown food and this was levels below that.
Wow! We’ve been to Smiling BKK a few times and liked it on the whole.
Went this Friday and had a disappointing dish but generally speaking we are a fan. It appears we’ve been lucky and if we have any more repeats of the last yucky dish (thought it was a one off) then we will re-think!
Very interested in directions to Korean gorcery store though - tell me more!!!!
