Xing Fu Tang 幸福堂 Burnaby Brentwood — Restaurant in Burnaby

Here.. the happy hour menu is all day, every day which sounds like one goddam awesome day to me! This BBT joint 幸福堂 handcrafts the Pearls which is pretty rad. My friend had the strawberry Pearls which were pretty yummy, but more for texture and lacking of actually tasting like strawberry. I do like how they offer quite a wide range of topping options compared to most BBT joints. The green tea Jelly was super yum and a solid choice. Unfortunately they were out of Buckwheat at the time (although this I'd an awesome non-dairy alternative), otherwise I would have tried fresh Taro Milk with buckwheat milk instead. The regular pre-made mixes already contain specific levels if sugar so you don't ask for a percentage, only ice which I am not really keen on as you can't control the amount of sugar your having and my Taro Milk Tea was extremely sweet (albeit delicious) and a lot of the powder seemed to be stuck at the bottom and sticking to the jelly even after thorough stirring. To add, the milk Teas are dairy-based and no alternative, I believe it's a pre-made powder mixed. Staff were pretty rude and short tempered to be honest, but a very nice vibe and interior.. loving the paper-mache style bubble tea at the entrance! All in all, good value for money (especially happy hour), but not the best bubble tea nor the worst iv had in Vancouver and wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. One thing I did love was the green tea Jelly and haven't been able to find this...

Ive been to another location and gotten "fresh kiwi slush" multiple times, and you can tell its actually made with fresh kiwi because you watch them putting kiwi in the blender, you can see the seeds in the drink, and the drink is a normal kiwi colour. you can also order it with 0 sugar. This place, I tried to order 0 sugar and the guy said they cant do that because they make it with fresh kiwi and "kiwi syrup" which is "better" than the "white sugar syrup at other places". I then watched them blend a radioactive green syrup with ice and then measure out white sugar syrup and pour it in also. At the end, they mushed up a single slice of kiwi and put it on top. It looks and tastes nothing like the usual xing fu tang "fresh kiwi slush" or even kiwi at all and is absolutely disgusting. What a waste of money and time! Reply to manager: thanks for the offer of a refund but I'm not coming back to Brentwood. And i dont expect you to admit it because i get that its awkward to admit theres no "fresh" kiwi in a drink called "fresh kiwi", but you absolutely did not see her put real fruit of any kind into the blender because i watched start to finish and that just didn't happen, as you can see from the lack of seeds...

Yi Fang, welcome to the Brentwood area! This being the very first modern BB-Tea finally arriving within the neighborhood.

Just like any Yi Fang, it has the Brown Sugar bubble milk tea. And their special fruit teas. This location though is mainly just a order & pick up due to their lack of seating area with only like 3 little tables. But at the same time, this location has tons of parks surrounded in the area. There is a small little park on the left (when leaving the establishment), and a park down the block across the street.

Of all the Bubble Teas, I actually choose Yi Fang over the rest of the AMOUNT of choices we have. I mainly like Yi Fang for their fruit teas, and nothing else usually. Their pineapple bits are what I crave for at the bottom of each cup. And on top of that, you have to ask for a fork to eat with for the cup.

This is my bubble tea spot within the area. Come with me and grab a...
