As summer steps in, boba tea or bubble tea makes for a refreshing drink in this heat. However, there are times when you are confused as to what to order along with your boba tea to make it a rich experience. From sweet treats that echo your drink’s sugar rush to savoury bites that balance out the flavours, pairing boba with the right food can elevate your experience.
Research suggests that when you pair drinks with the right food, it can significantly enhance the taste and texture. If you’re looking to elevate your next bubble tea run, here are some delicious snack pairings that you can definitely try.
Kimchi/Korean BBQ Momo
If you have a savoury tastebud, then Sahil Arya, Co-founder and Director, Fat Tiger, suggests pairing your boba tea with a kimchi momo for a bold and spicy experience. Kimchi momos have a tangy and spicy filling that is bold enough to compete with sweet milk-based boba drinks.
Burger
Arya mentions that the combination of the spice, the boldness of the patty, and the sweetness found in boba makes for a delicious pairing. Each sip and bite gives you satisfaction, thanks to the perfect balance between spice and sweetness.
Paneer Tikka Sandwich
With a blend of grilled paneer cubes, spicy sauces, and a subtle level of smokiness, this vegetarian sandwich is surely something to relish. It goes perfectly with a classic like vanilla milk boba. The milk soothes the bold flavour profiles found in the tikka sandwich, making it perfect for a snack and midday munch.
Cheese Pizzas
Who does not adore a cheesy treat? Arya notes that unlike other snacks, cheese pizzas ooze with comfort and have a crispy outer layer, which tastes delicious when combined with cold boba. Pair a refreshing boba with a cheese pizza for a refreshing break in between the rich, cheesy goodness. As such, this combination is both a fun treat and a filling meal for cravings when alone or with a small group.
Fries
Fries smothered with spices and fried till crispy serve as a great accompaniment to your boba. The bolder flavors are balanced out by sweet and creamy boba.
