My Culinary Menu Trends College Paper
When I was researching Menu Trends online, the first thing I came across was Boba Pizza. It’s the same tiny balls in bubble tea at Asian storefronts. The tiny balls are made from tapioca. On the menu, it was meant to be a dessert pizza and have a savory sweet taste. People who ate the Boba Pizza described it as soft and chewy with a hint of brown sugar from the boba with cheese which also made it savory. The pizza was created at a restaurant in Taiwan called Foodie Star. The Boba pizza was put on the menu for around a year. It gained attention from all over the world after a food blogger posted it on Instagram. The Bubble tea originated in Taiwan in the early 1980’s at a small tea stand. Milk tea, shaved ice and Tapioca balls are the ingredients that make bubble tea. Those three ingredients were popular treats in Taiwan and the stand owner decided to combine them all and it was a hit. The Boba Pizza costs $4.50 at Foodie Star.
