Whenever I drink Bubble/Boba Tea, I think of Taichung.
I remember one time I saw Pilot Guide/Lonely Planet about Shanghai. The host was brought to a Bubble tea house. It was almost a copy of this one in Taichung :

I was thinking ...like..."man it's Taiwan/Taichung culture! not Shanghai/China"
Taichung's tea culture has conquered most Chinese or Asian world. However, most ppl don't know it's originated from Taichung.
