Cybercandy and Bubble tea

Yesterday, my mother took my sister and I to Camden town. We went to two main shops, Cybercandy and Bubble tea.

Cybercandy is a shop that cells novelty sweets, like Moomintroll lollypops, garlic mints, and bacon flavour icing. You can spend hours in there looking at the large range of crazy and edible things. Everything in the shop is brightly coloured and cartoony, from the collages on the walls, to the sweets themselves. Among the incredible assortment of candies, I found the weirdest things. Included are,"Gross drinks", which are juice drinks labelled, "Dog drool", "Cat piddle", "Swamp juice" and similar names to that. The , "Cat piddle" is actually orange and pinapple juice. I can't remember what the others are. Also found in the shop is, "Monkey dental floss", which is banana flavoured dental floss, and, "Carrot floss" which is carrot dental floss. They are both hygenic, and probably nice-tasting. Cybercandy also has a range of Australian Cadbury bars, but according to one of the shopkeepers, they aren't as nice as the European ones. Some of the most popular things are, "Reese's chocolate bars" and peanut butter m&ms. The shop sells Wonka bars too. It sort of reminds me of Haawkin's Bazaar because the also sell strange things.

Bubble tea is a shop selling strange teas with "Bubbles" in them. The "Bubbles" are made out of tapioca and carrageenan powder, and are filled with a thick, juice-like liquid that's sweet and really yummy. The teas come in different flavours, including the classic tea flavours, plus some fruity ones like "melon". You can have them warm or cold, and say how sweet you want them. The drinks come in three categories, milky, fruity and smoothies. There are also ones with crushed ice. One of the most popular teas in the Camden Bubble tea shop is Taro. The shop sells steamed buns as well, and they are delicious. We ordered two filled with custard because the others all had pork and we didn't want pork. As well as that, they sold little Malaysian cupcakes, but we didn't buy any. I think we should buy them next time we go to Bubble tea.
