Xing Fu Tang: Fresh Boba and Dumplings

Xing Fu Tang at Ximending is a popular bubble tea spot that draws large crowds, all eager to try their famous brown sugar boba. What sets this shop apart is not just the delicious drink, but the whole experience of watching the staff create their signature drinks and treats from scratch. The black boba pearls are handmade right before your eyes, giving you a sense of the care and craftsmanship that goes into each cup. The pearls are coated in brown sugar syrup, adding a rich and caramelized sweetness that’s irresistibly good. One of the most captivating parts of the experience is the torching of the brown sugar boba. As the staff carefully flame the top of each drink with a cute dinosaur-shaped torch, the caramelized aroma fills the air, giving the boba an extra smoky sweetness that perfectly complements the chewy pearls and creamy milk. It's a fun, interactive moment that adds a touch of theater to your bubble tea experience. In addition to their famous brown sugar boba, Xing Fu Tang also offers freshly made xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), crafted from scratch with skill and precision. Watching the chefs fold these delicate dumplings by hand adds another layer of charm to this already engaging experience. Xing Fu Tang in Ximending is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality bubble tea, while also enjoying the fun process of seeing the handmade pearls, torched boba, and freshly made xiaolongbao come to life. It's an experience that’s just as enjoyable as the delicious food and drinks they serve. #newyearnewtrip
