Taiwan Bubble Tea vs. American Starbucks Frappuchino

In our last battle, the Argentine Empanada stole the stomachs of our TripCrazed readers. But this could get ugly. Very ugly. Bubble Tea and Starbucks are two things anyone can EASILY SCREAM ABOUT.

If you have been living under a rock and have no idea what Bubble Tea is, check out this great post on I Really Like Food. According to Wikipedia, Bubble Tea originated in Taiwan, which is why it has been named as being from there for those challenge. But all who loves Bubble Tea recognize it can be found anywhere. Especially in Malls!

They are simply amazing.

Meanwhile, Starbucks seem to be popping everywhere. Oh wait, what is that in my bag? Starbucks opening in there too? No really, they are taking over like Chase bank's in Manhattan. You've got plenty of staple drinks such as the Caramel Frappuchino or the upcoming Fall classic: Pumpkin Spice Latte.

They are a great pick me up for some rich coffee in a busy city like New York.

So TripCrazers, What is your travel beverage of choice? Bubble Tea or Starbucks?

BUBBLE TEA!!! But that's cuz I don't really drink much coffee, so it's not really fair for me to say, I guess.
