To whoever loves to drink boba/bubble tea. She's our lord and savior.
I want to try it :/ but it's not in my country, eventhough I live in a very modern westren nation.
Amen
@@-gemberkoekje-5547 Go to where the Asians are flocking
-Gemberkoekje- I’m in the us. There’s a bunch of places that sell boba. You can also make it at home...
@@gotbigdreams.5257 actually, seeing by their name, they are probably either dutch or belgian, cuz GemberKoekje is a dutch word lol
This lady knows her own strength and weaknesses besides being humble. She is real smart when she says she is not smart of a person. Only smart people know when not to be boastful.
Actually this virtue is quite common among people in Taiwan because that's how kids are taught in schools and at home.
Ok I'm not smart too am I smart then?
@@pierrecarvalho6878 You are very clever!
Its nothing special, just different between capitalistic self serving egoistical Americans/Europeans and the rest of the world
@@pierrecarvalho6878 facts
boba is a human achievement. not many foods can keep their original state when in other countries
Unless you go to a chain from Taiwan that sells their boba, tbh the taste is super different. There is definitely Americanized/foreign boba and original/Taiwanese styles. I grew up between Taiwan and America and have also seen the evolution of the drink since I was a kid in the 90s in California. This is just my opinion, but I think I’m right lol
ShoMeSho u r right
ShoMeSho how is taiwanese boba different from american boba? better? im taiwanese american and tbh i dont notice a difference ㅠㅠ
ShoMeSho my country has taiwanese bubble tea and ITS SUPER GOOD it’s better than my country’s version,american bubble tea is really different i gotta say
@@ashleypeng207 I'm going to have to agree. I don't notice any difference between the boba made in America vs various places in China
Be honest... Who else here has a boba/pearl milk tea/bubble tea addiction? 🙋🏽♀️
Thank you Taiwanese for your yummy contribution to the world.
Rice yoghurt is better than boba,
Lmao me. I just went to New York City with my two friends for our grad trip before entering college and since I’m from Phoenix, I hardy get like some GOOD ass boba. So naturally, I took advantage of this. I ended up going to like four boba shops a day. Lmao. Tragic, really.
Girl, in my country is really expensive but I'm addicted, I honestly had to control myself and avoid some places because I can't afford it regularly.
I never had it and i never heard of this before... xD
@@s0phi76 same girl. I can't seem to get enough of it. hahaha brown sugar pear milk tea is my favorite!
*calls himself a bubble tea expert when he’s only gone to 5 bubble tea joints in his lifetime*
Sabrina Wong 😂😂😂
I can't imagine going through life, not being able to pick up on obvious sarcasm.
u clown ass fool✌🏽🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡💀
Sabrina Wong You're the best at picking up sarcasm, even through video and audio! Which is much harder than picking up sarcasm through text!
lmao. 😂
her work ethics were really exceptional, "they copy you because it's good". wow what wonderful way of thinking
Collective society's way of thinking, especially in Asian countries
That is a based and redpilled woman
or just coping
Boba and Keanu Reeves are crazy popular all of a sudden. Both have been around since the 1980’s
not in every country, at least in mine we just have it in the capital city
Bubble tea used to be popular too in the early 2000 but it died down when some manufactures used the rubber of the tire instead of tapioca to make the chewy boba.
@@tinc6349 omg that's what my mum use to tell us when we were younger about the bubble things made of plastic, and i didn't drink too much bubbletea bcus of that
@WILL THORBURN ok i genuinely laughed. Good one.
But only one of them is actually good..
I honestly really like this lady. She's passionate and she understands her role. I mean phrasing it like that sounds a bit derogatory, but I hold so much respectful for her in how she accepted the fact that she could only have gone this far thanks to the company's backing. She shows so much respect for her boss that you know she loves the company and in return I respect her because of her passion and dedication.
The company should give this lady an interest in their company
For what reason? They both already got what they wanted from this interview. Content for Asian Boss and her getting paid.
You talking about the tea company? I'm pretty sure she already got some seeing as she has been working in it for 33 years and is in a high position in the company.
The company should make her a share holder because of her brilliant idea...
"Use or be used"
@@rinkashimetakuarishikushi5605 Not in asia lol. if she was in the US she would be a multi millionaire if not a billionaire.
Kei: We can put this on the menu, and share the royalty
The lady: Thanks, but NO. 😂😂
A more appropriate translation would be "Thank you, there's no need."
I'm from Taichung and my parents used to hang out in Chun Shui Tan when they were young. It's so nice to see my hometown getting featured.
And it's really funny that this lady was just promoting how good it was to work there lol
Laser Love I been there and it's pretty amazing
Same as my mom.
Sameee my relatives all live in Taichung, only my parents siblings and me r in the US
Omg I loved her sounds and faces of disapproval when he was making the Tai-nado lmaoooo reminded me of my own mom gahahahha
You love your mom's face of disapproval? Stockholm syndrome is real... :o
Dudette, even I cringes with pain seeing his mix.....
@@minifix lmao gotta get used to seeing it might as well love it 😂
@@lilyhuang1065 😂
That makes sense.
@@minifix that's not what Stockholm syndrome it lmao 😂.Stockholm syndrome is when someone falls in love with their captor or has feelings.
Wow, you guys sure know how to stay relevant to my life. You uploaded this literally as I finished a boba.
lets just say i had a good sippy sip of some taro milk tea just now myself
no, it means the fbi is watching you😂😂
@@nabo2337 That's creepy. I just played Orwell, a game that pretty much follows that premise.
11:31 HAHA OMG THEY WAY SHE SAID “??..you can try”
😂 it sounded like she was dying inside
Sounded just like Consuela from Family Guy XD
Its funny that his hands were shaking and he looks like he wanted to pour everything in directly instead of scooping 😂😂😂😂
هههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههہَ ة ˛⁽ 🙊😹💔 ₎ ˛هُ ˛ ❥
QUALITY MEME POTENTIAL SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE ONE
Thanks a lot for the recognition!!! Big shout out from Taiwan 🇹🇼
Finally AB visited Taiwan Again 🇹🇼 🇹🇼 🇹🇼 Please cover this country more often as the international media are always cautious on even mentioning Taiwan or even labeling it as a country! Asian Boss is now a Real Boss, not scared of China! Keep it going! More power!
Keep the good work, Taiwan! Gives us more tasty drinks and food!👍
@@zhuoweili937 中華民國乃正統中國

@@zhuoweili937 Taiwan is Republic of China and currently it is a country since 1912. Learn your history
His reactions were hilarious 😂
Gosh, they killed me every time.
😂😂😂
3:07 - Consequence of not properly patenting your invention.
3:41 - It all started with memorable memories of old days.
4:30 - Great invention = great determination + personal favorite + a bit of twist.
5:56 - Testimony from a Loyal employee under a great Founder/Leader/CEO.
6:32 - How long did it take to go "viral"?
7:14 - The Inventor's point of view and way of thinking.
8:33 - DIY Session
Also exploitation because of lack of women's rights
@@the_number_one bruh wth?
"I've been to 5 bubble tea shops around Chinatown in my lifetime. So, you could say that I'm an expert" - *hold my purse* I've been to like 30
MF DOOM don’t use the word retard like that.
@@AndrewLauJunyongis that a challange!?
Counting 54, that i am. Ha!
I’m Taiwanese so you all can step back, please
tmwolf100 I feel you😂😂 in Taiwan,Hong Kong, Macao have bubble tea shop literally EVERYWHERE
珍奶萬歲
Andrew Lau been to more than a 100 i drink almost every day diabetes too here
I love bubble tea! I actually prefer it to any starbucks drink.
Lol same! Except I've never been to Starbucks in my life. And I can't drink too much bubble tea because I'm lactose intolerant :(
@@penguinsmelodic5122 at many places you can get non dairy options!!
Nick Gurr that’s actually true
@Nick Gurr No. Starbucks is mainly coffee and it's for people who appreciate coffee just like how you guys appreciate bubble tea. To me bubble tea is kinda like the hipster drink.
lol same
I'm Taiwanese and i feel so grateful that she created bubble tea
It's my favorite drink i drink it at least once a week.
I love his reactions, they are so dramatic and extra like Japanese commercials! 😂
FINALLY A VIDEO ON TAIWAN. IT'S LIKE YOU GUYS FORGET IT EXISTS SOMETIMES!
Right?!
The way how this woman views on things is absolutely inspiring.
Bless this woman for inventing my favourite drink ❤
MadAnili she didn’t invent it. Use google.
@@Alex-wl7ws
Lin Hsiu Hui invented Bubble tea.
@@Alex-wl7ws bet it's from wikipedia...
Also did you even watched the whole video?
@@sugarboohoo I live in Taiwan. Local Taiwanese say otherwise.
I am indebted to this woman
Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the world, Taiwan😍
Ms. Lin deserves ALL the goodness on Earth and the universe. 🙌🏽🇹🇼
I’m so pleased that Asian Boss is finally doing an interview in Taiwan. Although I thought someone Taiwanese would have conducted a better interview, with the cultural knowledge and all.
"I've been to five bubble tea stores, so I guess you could say I'm an expert"
Me: well shoot i guess I'm a PhD graduate then
I just came back from Taiwan last month and the Bubble Tea there is soooo good. Brown sugar and almond milk is def my favorite and I had one almost everyday. Loved Taiwan, it was magical and amazing. Can't wait to go back
I respect her for inventing the most delicious drink in the world
11:32 the way she said "you can try" got me lmfao 😂👌
ive been here! it really deserves the title "the og bubble tea" the taste is just immaculate. the tea is just delicious and the mixture is perfect. you can easily tell that the sweetness is total different from the usual processed sugar-filled bobas. its honestly unlike any other boba ive had, and i'm a total boba fanatic !!!
It's so weird some people out their think you just swallow the boba whole
If they like swallowing black balls, why should that bother you?
@@givemexrice there has been a case of a girl going to the hospital and after that they found out that she didn't chew the " black ball" properly. So there you have it
More cases of tapioca clogging the digestive system have come up. Not a good idea to drink this everyday.
@@givemexrice What people do with their food doesnt concern me until it harms them. That's my issue. I dont want people getting hurt unknowingly
@@3dgraphicworkz463 turns out its just a hoax, its feces
This lady must go to heaven!!! Really 😍😍😍 it's the most delicious drink I have ever tasted!!!
Milk tea is awesome here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 thank you to the creator of milk tea in Taiwan 🇹🇼
i like his reaction!! oh my so cute!! hahah i'm the milk tea lover! i really want to go there to try all these things!
So YOU'RE the milk tea lover, eh? I knew you were out there.
minifix oh there is no boba milk tea shop here is korea !we have gongch which is my favorite but I want to try this in Taiwan 🇹🇼
@@sophiaimo_koreanauntie3747 Hmm, I hope they will get it where you live. We have it in Norway, but only in Oslo. And it's super expensive...
minifix oh oslo!!! I can guess how expensive it is sorry!! I used to study in sweden! I know the prices there in Scandinavia 🤪🤪🤪
@@sophiaimo_koreanauntie3747 You're welcome back anytime, auntie ;)
OMG THATS THE WOMAN WHO MADE ME SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLAR A MONTH!!!🥴
ye kai I feel you
At last! The person I need to thank! 👏🏻🙌🏻
I honestly to go the boba tea shop about four times a week...so good! 😁
Extremely Happy to see them Giving Credit to where its Due!!! 👏👏👏
Now I know where I need to go next time I'm in Taiwan. This lady is a gem, very humble, hard-working, positive, and sweet. Thank you Taiwan!
Their shops are really nice. The staff takes flower arrangement classes and you'll find the finished arrangements around the place. You can have sit-down meals too. It's a soothing environment imo.
Taiwan you bloody legends 🇹🇼 I discovered Boba on accident at a Taiwanese ladies shop whilst asking for a Berry smoothie. She asked if I like Taro sticky rice I said No. Taro bubble tea... No! She said "No I make for you, truss me you like, okeh okeh"
Thank you Lin for opening my eyes to the world! She also told me to try Phô next door gotta love these pushy sales mamas 🇹🇼🇻🇳 hahaha
downundabrotha haha I love your storytelling style XD
I’m Taiwanese and I’ve been to this place in Taiwan. The bubble tea there is SOOOO GOOD! If any of you guys ever want to go to Taiwan and you love bubble tea go there. There’s also a lot of other shops in Taiwan that have bubble tea and because there are so many places there it’s really cheap. So i definitely recommend going!
Thank you Taiwan, for introducing boba to the world♥️
Much love from the Philippines
"Let me add some vodka..." Kei keep it down with the alcohol lolol
Haha 0:54 😂😂 You spin me round like a record (or Beyblade 🤔)
Beyblade NANI?!??

12:27 bro wtf was that moaning sound, I got so scared i thought my phone played some hentai or something
Chryen50 haha 😂
Chryen50 same wtf
It kinda sounds someone cringing lol. U watch too much hentai
@@IzanamiYumi bruh i could listen to it a 1000x and I won't hear what you're saying. I've never really heard an audible cringe like that but okay
Secks while editing.. Sounds nice
So good to see more content about/in Taiwan!! Hoping to see more especially with the presidential election coming up o.o Also good to see a more light-hearted video in the midst of heavy content on Asian Boss
That's why I like so much Asian Boss. They deal with a variety of topics!
YES!!!
Finally AB visited Taiwan Again 🇹🇼 🇹🇼 🇹🇼 Please cover this country more often as the international media are always cautious on even mentioning Taiwan or even labeling it as a country! Asian Boss is now a Real Boss, not scared of China! Keep it going! More power!
@@jervylim9250 You need to stop. You have copy pasted the exact same comment multiple times.
The closet alcoholic in me is thanking Kei for the idea of putting vodka in bubble tea drink.
Anyways, Kei's cooking show (name it Kei's Disastrous Kitchen!) will get a vote from me. :D
There’s places that do bubble tea cocktails :)
..that actually a good tv show pitch..
Editor : how many slo-mo you want?
Kei : *when im drinking boba tea*
Love this woman so much. The loyalty she has for the company, how the company fosters its employees… wow. She looks like she still very much enjoys her job after over three decades. The positivity this woman exudes is ❤️❤️❤️
Man, in a world of so much change, boba has always been a beloved constant in my life. I've been drinking it since I was a small child, and I can't see myself ever getting sick of it. It's amazing how such a seemingly humble invention can mean so much to so many around the world.
God forbid boba ever gets outlawed, there's no telling what I'd do...
Thank you Taiwan!! Im in Singapore. And im addicted to bubble tea....
you could feel the inner pain of the lady as he proceeds to pour in everything they had
New video series idea @AsianBoss!: The cheongsam vs. the hanfu, what do Chinese people like better?
What do Japanese people think of the kimono?
What do Koreans think of the hanbok?
What do Indians think of the sari?
What do Filipinos think of their traditional clothing?
All over Asia! I'm ready! Thanks so much Asia Boss!
Hanfu is the real chinese official custom. Not qipao
Cheongsam is more like a type of fashion garment/ formal wear, ladies can wear it to dinner parties. But hanfu is the serious cultural garment. Different purposes, but I would say in terms of the level of formal-ness hanfu is above cheongsam
OMG Kei is backkkkk hehe his sence of humor though!!! Voice over got me LOL
Who's with me?
"Thanks, but NO" should be the actual title of this video LOOOOL
The Lady: do you wanna make one yourself?
Him: Yes I was waiting for you to say that
*adds vodka*
This lady's compassion is so Eastern... I love it.
Kei's facial expressions are so wholesome (灬º‿º灬)♡
Bless this woman for creating a culinary masterpiece 👌
Bubble tea already existed more than twenty years ago. But it is only these days that it becomes so ubiquitous
She's so down to earth, so kind, seems like a very pure soul.
Love this! The owner seems so humble and respectful of her employees and her craft.
The inventor is honestly so funny! There were some languages nuances that the translator didn't pick up.... hilarioussss haha!
bruh, at 10:42 she didn't say thank you, she said"很 Q"
Very Q
I always got the same feeling whenever that guy sip his bubble tea!
i just wanna thank this woman from the bottom of my heart
Ty to this glorious woman
As a proud Taiwanese, I'm so happy to have people learn about my country and culture. Please make more videos about Taiwan
I love that smile she showed in the beginning, you can see how proud and happy she is 😃
I love how she has not let corruption erode her point of view in life, she wasn’t overtaken by greed or power hungry but just simply goes about life with a benevolent point of view which is hard for many who if in her position to have.. just enjoying life and showing love and being real with others. :)
Who are looking for kei since yesterday's videos? Finally he's back guys 😂
I loved kei's reactions🤪
I remember the days of when I was younger that whenever it was the holidays, me and my family used to always go to Chinese restaurants in China Town in London and order a meal and bubble tea from time to time. It was actually served in a cocktail glass as well, I managed to finish it most of the time and there were other times when I couldn't. I miss those times, but now there's a whole load of bubble tea places around London so I'm thankful I can drink to my heart desires.
As an og bubble tea drinker, I loved how you interviewed the original inventor of this amazing beverage. It was a very genuine interview.
Thank you to the Taiwanese for the amazing creation! Also, shout out to the bubble tea addicts out there!!
She invented Boba tea only because she used to love things seperately. I love how her nostalgia of significant food memories, the warm feelings gave birth to an iconic drink. Not a lot of time you hear the invention of some food is just a warm nostalgia factor for the inventor. Majority of times, it is all about business.
FINALLY another video on Taiwan
*I remember the time*
when Bubble Tea was just starting out
Glad to see it grow to the success it is today
Even the 1st bobba tea counter in my uni campus, the owner get mocked at first. Now he is laughing opening his 20th store
bubble tea is really BIG now....my country have alot of this thing around...Taiwan is so lucky to have her the real inventor....
you can already see how excited he is to start the boba mission. I respect u
Finally! Thought Asian Boss would never come to my country~
Asian Boss, can you please make a video on Chinese-medium schools in Malaysia. Please accept my request.
yes pls
do you like chinese girls?
antitroll98 Depends on which ones you're talking about.
what are chinese-medium school? im in Penang and never heard of it
JakesterJung i think they meant the sjk(c) schools
I love bubble tea, and am so happy to discover this woman started it all! She's awesome!!! My hero ^^
I reaaaaally love how this host does EVERYTHING.
Thank you so much for sharing this woman’s story! I am putting her shop on my list of top places to visit when I go to Taiwan one day!!!
Am I the only one who came here thinking this had something to do with the hands-free meme?
The what?
-Gemberkoekje- there’s a trend going around in Japan where women are holding up their boba tea with their cleavage. Photos hit the internet, now people are memeing it. There’s this one funny picture of two girls doing it in a news article and then a photo of a flat-chested girl doing it by leaning backwards with the tea on her chest like it’s sitting on a table.
Ms. Hui you're a living miracle for us boba tea lovers ♥
**wipes tear** bless this woman :’)
The music breaks everytime he drinks. I'm dead! xDDD
this guy looks so happy i love it!
I think we'd be happy if he started a cooking show! Hahaha 😂
i feel like just watching her makes me learn all the best things about old school loyalty to work. we don't see that anymore esp now since most companies dont take care of their employees and inspire this much passion and dedication.
also its lowkey criminal we don't have respective chun shui tang branches in every country thats taken over by bbt. it would be great to experience the original bbt from taiwan
This woman has brought much joy to so many people
It's so nostalgic for me to watch this video because my mom used to bring me to this shop's chain stores to have bubbletea lmaooooo
*clicks on this video while drinking bubble/boba tea*
Oh my god, that lady is a real treasure for the world in so many ways xD ❤️
I think that's my favourite video from Asian Boss so far, good job!~
Thank you for your hard work Ms. Lin. Thank you for your invention that's making so many people around the world happy every day. I will remember you every time I drink boba tea :D
I'm not that big fan of bubble tea because it hurts my jaw to chew them🤣🤣🤣 but after watching this I really want to buy one. Ugh
There was a young girl in China in the news recently who had stomach pain, she had scans and the hospital found hundreds of undigested tapioca balls in her stomach, which are apparently difficult to digest.
Moral of the story - chew those balls well before swallowing!
To be fair though anybody who consumes pearls without swallowing is just asking for it
This comment gave me a scare bc I literally never chew my pearls.
This doesn't make sense. Stomach acid would break them down almost immediately.
@@HELL0NESSA the boba is a hard starch that is not easy to dissolve by stomach acid. There are multiple medical reports published after the incident when viral.
Sure some bubble might be in smaller size but considering it's a solid food, I thought it's common sense to chew it. Similar like popcorn. But I guess since bubble is slimy and we drink the drink with it these people might had thought "it slides so smoothly in my throat so it's okay not to chew" 😨
Another great video like always!! Keep it up:)
awee she seems so sweet, and I truly admire her philosophy towards competition. Just when I thought I couldn't love boba any more than i do right now she stepped it up a notch forsure :')
