Temptation Tea House
Monday, August 07, 2006
Temptation Tea house in Mt. Kisco has a tranquile, soothing atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. This is the first place in Westchester where I have come into contact with the Japanese tradition of bubble tea. Bubble tea is a tea which can be served hot or cold, and has giant black tapioca pearls in it (the bubbles). I tried the peach green tea with the pearls and it was pleasantly sweet and the pearls were chewy of a gummi bear consistancy. I enjoyed it very much and would be more than willing to try it again. For our lunch my sister and I ordered shrimp tempura, gyoza, and crispy pan-fried noodles with shrimp. The shrimp were huge and the portions were generous. The tempura had a jicama salad under it which was refreshing. It was drizzled with a sweet fruit dressing that pulled it all together. The pan fried crispy noodles were lite and it was topped with lots of healthy veggies. I would gladly go back to sample more off their expansive menu.
