BYAHILO experiences a rainbow of joy at the Lipton Milk Tea Food Tour event
Posted on May 30, 2008
I must say this: I have never tried the Lipton Milk Tea before this event. But after receiving my invitation, my cousin told me not to miss this food tour event as Lipton Milk Tea, according to her is superbly delicious. Now I am even more intrigued by this. Does the traditional black tea drink mixed with milk is really delicous?
So off I went to Greenbelt 5 for the Lipton Milk Tea Food Tour event. The event was especially organized to some food and travel bloggers. I guess there were only 10 bloggers at the event.
We embarked on a unique kind of progressive food trip as Lipton Milk Tea took us to different restaurants in Greenbelt 5 where we sampled culinary delights paired with Lipton Milk Tea. The result was a rainbow of joy both for the palette and tummy!
The first stop in the food tour was Myron’s Place. Located at the ground floor of Greenbelt 5 in Makati City, Myron’s Place serves delectable delights that range from premium steaks and salads. For this particular night, Mushroom Crostini and Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp was served to us together with a hot and delicious cup of Original Lipton Milk Tea. The original variant of Lipton Milk Tea has the perfect blend of milk and black tea, making it a great, light, and enjoyable drink.
“Tea is not just a ‘stand alone’ beverage that you sip between the meals,” says tour host Lily. “It is also a very versatile natural drink that goes perfectly well with food. Unlike coffee, tea naturally complements food by rounding off its flavors. Without smothering your appetite, tea fills those flavor gaps in a dish that if left unfulfilled leave you craving for more food. This satisfying property of tea, by itself makes it a healthier food accompaniment then water or even wine.”
“Milk tea in particular is a great transition from coffee. Ordinary tea may taste bland or bitter to regular coffee drinkers but having a little milk and sugar in tea gives it a bit more pizzaz!” she adds.
A choice of Maple Glazed Black Cod with boursign (herbed cream) cheese potato gratin or Braised Beef Short Ribs with shallots and garlic was offered to us when we arrived at Chateau 1771. This famed restaurant is known for its “no borders” cuisine: mouthwatering innovations on well-loved Swiss, Italian, and French culinary concoctions that are simply divine on the taste buds. The flavors of the main course dishes that were served were further complemented by the sweetness of Lipton Milk Tea Gold, which has a more robust flavor with a mix of premium black tea, generous amounts of milk, and sugar.
The piece de resistance of the food tour was Classic Confections where the bloggers were treated to a rich array of sweet creations such as Nono’s chocolate oblivion, Banana crepe pie, Mini butter and chocolate cupcakes, Mango torte, and Opera torte. The tempting treats went perfectly with the soothing cup of hot Lipton Milk Tea Vanilla that was also served. The sweetness of the dessert and creaminess of the milk with a hint of vanilla in the Lipton Milk Tea made it a delectable combination to cap off a tummy fulfilling evening.
I am convinced by what my cousin told me about the Lipton Milk Tea. It is indeed delicious and a perfect partner to every meal. Thanks to Lipton for letting us experince the rainbow of joy in cup!
