In its simplest form, ultratrendy bubble
tea is a mixture of Chinese black tea, creamer, and sugar served
over giant black tapioca balls. "Bubbles" do not refer to carbonation
but to both the foam on top and the chewy prizes resting at the
bottom of the drink.
Hmm...how do you get the chewy pearls
from the bottom? Of course, with your Fat Straws. The chewy round
tapioca bubbles are sucked up, with a little effort, through a Fat
Straw. Picking your own colored Fat Straw is half of the fun at here
Fat Straws!

Best of Dallas 2008: Best Bubble Tea
Fat Straws Bubble Tea
It's hard to frequent any culinary establishment with the word "fat" in the name, but this fabulous slurp-fest is made possible and palatable only by the fat straws used to suck up the big, chewy tapioca balls at the bottom of the delicious and nutritious teas, slushees and smoothies the place has to offer. The tapioca balls—bubbles in Fat Straw parlance—are pearls of chewy carbs and aren't so much flavorful as they are textural, providing the slurper with a unique sip, chew, swallow, eat experience. The Dallas location we visited near the Galleria is a slight, sleek ultra-modern venue, and the menu boasts a vast array of post-modern beverages such as a green tea milkshake, passion fruit jasmine tea and mango slushees. This is definitely not your father's Starbucks. Nor does it pretend to be.
