Today I got my first dose of the Coronavirus vaccine today with both of my parents. Yay. I may dread and hate needles and shots, but in the bigger picture it’s all for both my benefit and society’s benefit I guess. On the bright side, it’s a nice occasion to go and try Sharetea, which… Continue reading Fresh Milk Oolong Tea – Sharetea
As my Spring Break comes to a close, my sister's Spring Break is starting...Too bad that our Spring Breaks couldn't overlap, but not that we could have gone anywhere or take a vacation anyway. Besides, I'm always home, and I'm always going to see her around regardless whether or not our breaks lines up. My… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (#5) – 7 Leaves Cafe
There’s another online order delivery pickup happening nearby my dad found, this time from a place called A+ Tea House. I think their main store is in San Gabriel or somewhere near there, and they're basically kind of like a Taiwanese casual eats shop. We actually got the delivery yesterday but because it was around… Continue reading House Special Milk Tea – A+ Tea House
Today I went back to the Spectrum for my Apple store run part 2, but this time scheduled an appointment to finally get my laptop screen fixed, and hopefully my battery problem too. The line was much shorter today, maybe because it’s slightly earlier in the day than when I went last week. Welp, obviously… Continue reading Matcha Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk – The Alley
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! You know it's a special day when Orobae has a (relatively) short line! 🙂 I think my parents went to the plaza it's located in, and since they saw the line was not that long, they decided to get a drink today. Haven't had Orobae in a while, partly because like… Continue reading Hokkaido Roasted Oolong Milk Tea – Orobae
This week is Finals week, and I took a Sociolinguistics class this past quarter. For our final, we had to write a report on a topic of our own choosing and conduct our own research. I was trying to decide what linguistic variable I wanted to investigate, and I did feel I preferred a lexical… Continue reading A Boba Sociolinguistics Report
Here’s to another Trader Joe’s trip with the father figure! Apparently, Trader Joe’s and recently come out with a new boba item - coffee boba ice cream. That sounds cool and all, but why coffee? Why not milk tea? It's so popular that they're limiting 1 per family, and they were sold out when I… Continue reading One Zo Fruit Tea – One Zo
So recently my laptop has been acting a little funky with the battery, which I guess might be kind of normal since I’ve had it for three years now, but still a little odd, you know? I normally would be fine with it, but since I’ve been video editing for work, lately I feel like… Continue reading Brown Sugar Deerioca Creme Brûlée Milk – The Alley
My dad found or came across another boba pick-up delivery form from a place called Soma. I searched it up, and apparently it's a store im Artesia that's won a bunch of awards from Taiwan for its tea and drinks. What was a little odd was that the pick-up location was at a local high… Continue reading Signature Milk Tea – Soma Tea & Mocktail
You might have seen One Zo somewhere online because of their main selling point: they make all their boba fresh in house with different flavors, and the stores display all the fancy equipment. None of that popping "boba" BS, their other flavored boba is actually boba. Yes, I was very hyped the first time I… Continue reading Handmade Boba – One Zo
