Today I hung out with a friend who moved to Laguna Nigel, along with another friend. We got Japanese food first, and then we headed to get boba. The kind of sad thing is that there is a significant lack of places in Laguna, so the closest place was in Mission Viejo, an entirely different… Continue reading Hokkaido Oolong Milk Tea – Ding Tea
Today my dad, boyfriend and I went to Stacks to have brunch. My dad has been meaning to go back to Stacks for awhile, and he mentioned he wanted to take my boyfriend here. It’s also convenient because it’s right next to Omomo, which is another boba must have when visiting around here I guess.… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea (#2) – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Today a friend, my boyfriend and I went to eat Korean soup, and Orobae was in the same plaza. Well, actually, my boyfriend was thinking about Korean tofu soup, and I suggested Koba because my parents and my other friend likes their tofu soup. I’m not much of a tofu soup person, so I got… Continue reading White Peach Osmanthus Oolong – Orobae
My mom has been wanting to get Soma, and after trying on Monday, she’s been really wanting it. Apparently they’re only open Thursday and Sunday, because I think now it's officially in their soft opening. They’re short staffed, which is understandable. Also, I did most of my order in Chinese, which I’m pretty proud of.… Continue reading Golden Milk Tea (#3) – Soma Tea & Mocktail
My boyfriend’s in town, so today I took him to Spectrum to walk for a bit and hang out. Obviously when you go to Spectrum, for boba, you get The Alley! Actually, yesterday I got a regular Thai tea from 7 leaves. But they forgot my boba when I ordered boba, so no post because… Continue reading Jasmine Green Milk Tea – The Alley
Apparently, Soma is actually opening a location in Irvine, with the opening being today. I've been kind of out of the loop of local boba news, but this was a pleasant surprise to hear as my mom told me. (She found out from the Facebook or Line group apparently.) She asked me if I wanted… Continue reading Matcha – Soma Tea & Mocktail
My dad needed to go to Trader Joe's again today (even though we went yesterday, ha!), so we picked the one next to Omomo, because my mom really prefers Omomo over One Zo (where the other Trader Joe's is). Man, it's actually been a while since I've had a drink from Omomo, and I've been… Continue reading Matcha Cortado (with Tiramisu Foam) – Omomo Tea Shoppe
I'm going home today! And as always on my way home my mom wants a drink, so I gave her a choice between Dayung’s and Chakaa. Obviously, she chose Chakaa, so that’s why I decided that today’s going to be the day I start trying their milk teas, so then it was a matter of… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea – Chakaa
I know a Feng Cha opened a bit close by to my home, but it's far enough away that I wouldn't casually venture there unless I put in effort. However, I do know that one opened in San Diego somewhat recently, and I've really been meaning to try it out for a while because I've… Continue reading Mango Aulait – Feng Cha
Today we’re back at Camellia after not being back for a while. Actually, my group of friends has not been there together at all since we all came back to school, which is kind of wild. I guess it’s also kind of fitting because it’s probably our last outing together before winter break starts. Today… Continue reading Hojicha Milk Tea – Camellia Road Tea Bar
