Carmina's best friend has never tried or heard of Gong Cha. Carmina mentioned how they also have Gong Cha in the Philippines. Carmina's friend was kind of surprised. We had ordered the following: Medium Size Creamy Passion Fruit Smoothie for $6.50, 50% Sweet and Pearls $0.65 = $7.15 (PHP 383.01) Medium Size Mango Smoothie $5.75, 50% Sweet and Pearls $0.65 = $6.40 (PHP 326.00) Carmina and her best friend both enjoyed their beverages being hot outside.
