Food from Every Stall on Norwich Market (2025 Edition) – Week 14 and Thai Bubble
This is week 14 of James and I eating at every food stall at Norwich market, for the second time. We did extra visits in May so I had something to write up whilst away, we are very good at forward planning like that, which means that my two loyal readers won’t go short on posts from this series. I rather liked Thai Bubble when we visited last time, although the service time was a little excessive.
It’s not necessarily the easiest menu to understand in terms of the ordering process, but the helpful team member was pro-active in talking me through the whole arrangement. There’s certainly plenty of choice to be had and the stall takes cash and card.
After you order, then you are shown where to wait for the drink on the side of the unit. This time, we didn’t have a long wait, with the drinks being served after a couple of minutes. They’ve changed things a little since we last visited and you can’t sit in the unit now, it’s takeaway only. It all seemed clean and organised, with something of a welcoming vibe to it.
We relocated to the Castle Mall and this is the mango bubble tea with cherry. Sealed at the unit, it kept its chilled temperature and it had a depth of flavour to it. I really rather like the tapioca ball as they add texture to the whole arrangement, although I’m always worried when James has a bubble tea as he ends up choking on one of the balls. It’s also quite a filling drink, there’s plenty of it although I did opt for the larger version.
Talking of which, this is the one that James got and he spent quite a long time trying to work out how to get his straw in. I have to be careful, as otherwise he’ll tell me that I’ve made him sound like an idiot instead of the executive that he is.
This is a slightly light review as it was a drinks visit only, but I liked it here and felt welcome. I’d say that the concept is slightly complex for anyone who doesn’t know what they’re doing, which is so often me, but the service was engaging and warm so that resolved that. I think that we agreed that we’d both go here again (although we say that and then promptly march over to get chips from Lucys), my drink was £4.50 and that’s comparable to a coffee now and my inner child likes the whole concept behind these drinks….. We didn’t order food this time, but they do offer waffles as well.
