Updated on 20190407 : Included Gong Cha’s Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with Pearl

Due to recent wave of brown sugar bubble tea, I guess it is timely to list down what I have tried in past few weeks…

Do follow my Instagram for more updates on latest brown sugar bubble tea I have tried and drop a comment or two on outlets you think I should visit.

Gong Cha

Gong Cha was slightly late to the game but nonetheless, they should be taken seriously with their take – Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with Pearl.

Check out their Facebook for more info.

The Alley

The Alley Brown Sugar Deerioca Fresh Milk

The Alley is no stranger when comes to brown sugar milk tea. Apart from the best seller – Deerioca Brown Sugar series, their Royal No. 9 Milk Tea is pretty good too.

Check out their Facebook for more info.

Tiger Sugar 马来西亚老虎堂

Tiger Sugar Brown Sugar Pearl+ Boba with Cream Mousse

Tiger Sugar has finally made their presence count in Malaysia on January 2019. Their Brown Sugar Pearl+ Boba with Cream Mousse is thicc and sinful due to the addition of cream mousse. The combination of pearl and boba adds interesting texture to the drink.

Fun fact : Did you know that pearls and boba are the same? They are just different in size.

Check out their Facebook for more info.

OneZo 丸作

OneZo Dirty Milk Tea

OneZo’s version of brown sugar bubble tea – Dirty Milk Tea is somewhat similar The Alley’s Deerioca series. Theirs lean towards lighter side in terms of flavour and sweetness as we are able to customise the sugar level. Nonetheless, their boba have good chew to it and they are one of the cheapest amongst others in the list here.

Check out their Facebook for more info.

SoyLab

SoyLab Bean Looking For Him – Black bean soya with brown sugar and pearls

If fresh milk or milk tea is not your thing, SoyLab’s version might fit right up your alley as their’s consists of black bean soya as base.

Check out their Facebook for more info.

Royaltea 皇 茶

Royaltea Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk

Royaltea’s Brown Sugar Pear Fresh Milk is somewhat alright – palatable but their portion is comparable, if not bigger than others.

Check out their Facebook for more info.

KOI Thé

KOI Thé Brown Sugar Fresh Milk

KOI Thé’s is probably the most expensive of the lot. At RM15 (including pearls), it is somewhat underwhelming in terms of taste, for me at least. However, as one says, taste is personal preference and so… do try out and let me know what you think!

bookmark_borderIn Penang – Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Posted on by Common Foodie

Although I’d always stay in usual hotels in Penang, I don’t mind trying out new ones such as this; Four Points by Sheraton Penang which is located at Tanjung Bungah. It is quite far from the city centre but it had (and still having) Opening Celebration Offer and the price is pretty attractive especially since it is by Sheraton management.

Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Slightly off from the heart of Penang, this newly opened hotel is situated along the beach. It has undergone extensive overhaul and refurbishment to bring back to life. The main colours adopted by them are bright and bold making it lively, clean and cheerful.

Lobby, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

They have this large, open concept whereby the lobby and reception area have full ocean view. At the same (ground) level is where the swimming pool and eateries are located. There are only 6 floors, which is a good thing, but parking lots in front of the hotel are really limited.

The Eatery restaurant, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

At arrival, the check in process was slightly sluggish as they were having trouble locating available room. It took about 20 minutes or so before they found a room with a sea view. Nonetheless, the staffs on that day were really helpful and great while trying to be accommodating to their frustrated guests.

Floor List

Note : Although it costs slightly more, always book a room with sea view at higher level because you will be rewarded with great ocean view and serenity.

Bed, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Bed Side, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Well furnished and clean, the room has all the noteworthy attributes to make one’s stay comfortable. Big comfortable bed with soft, fluffy pillows, built-in window sofa/couch, LG LCD tv and dressing/working table are in place without sacrificing much space.

Built In Couch, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

The room may not be as big as I thought it would be, but I was pretty satisfied and relieved that it is not fully carpeted. I particularly like the sofa/couch because it is comfortable and that’s where I get to daydream while looking out the window.

Amenities, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Mini Bar, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Safe deposit box, ironing board, iron and digital weighing scale are found in the cupboard while the small fridge is located at the mini bar section where kettle, packets of coffee and tea, sugars, creamers and complimentary water are arranged neatly.

Toiletries and Drinks, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

LCD TV, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Internet addicts would be happy to know that free WiFi is provided and the speed is pretty decent with fairly strong signal.

Bathroom, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

The bathroom consists of wet and dry area with a glass panel standing their way. There is no rain showerhead but the water pressure is pretty strong at all times. Basic toiletries are provided; shampoo, body shampoo, conditioner, lotion and what’s not.

Switches, Four Points by Sheraton Penang

One of the pet peeves I had was their bath towels. Though they are soft, gentle to the skin, they are the most non-absorbent towel I have ever used. The other pet peeve was the dustbin. Not sure if it’s part of their plan (or maybe slight teething problem) but there was none in the room, not even in the bathroom.

Environmental Initiatives by Four Points by Sheraton Penang

Overall, I like this hotel despite its location – about 15 minutes to the city centre. From the aesthetic design to the comfort the room exudes, it is perfect for those who seek for some quiet time. It may not be as cheap compared to others, but it will be one of the hotels I’d consider when I am in Penang for holidays.

505, Jalan Tanjung Bungah,
