A bought a few boba flavored snacks in Taiwan, and one of them is this boba flavored cake pastry. I’m assuming it’s like the classic pineapple cake, except with milk tea flavored filling, and I’m hoping there might be boba in it (if the packaging is accurate). Perhaps it’ll be like a cream inside? I… Continue reading Bubble Milk Tea Cake – Hsin Tung Yang
My boyfriend made a short Tokyo trip over the weekend, and he came back today! On the way home from Sapporo, he got boba, and bought me boba (he did ask, and I will never say no to boba)! It is a bit late in the day, but I don’t want to save it, so… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (小山緑茶ミルクティー) – The Alley
Today I’m hanging out in Sapporo with a few friends, as this weekend is the Sapporo Lilac Festival! I’m getting Gong Cha for the ride home, because there’s a somewhat new / limited edition mango drink right now, and I think next week or so they’re bringing in a new limited drink, some sort of… Continue reading Amanatsu Mango Milk Tea (甘夏マンゴーミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I’m at the Airport! Time to go home to Japan…I managed to find a Chun Sui Tang at the airport, and when you see CST, you know there’s gotta be boba. Is it ironic or fitting that my last boba in Taiwan has to be from the place that claims to have originated boba milk… Continue reading TieGuanYin Latte (鐵觀音拿鐵) – Chun Sui Tang
A bit ago a food YouTuber I watch went to Taiwan and he bought a boba ice cream from 7/11. Naturally, once I came here, I was out on the hunt for the boba ice cream, and I found this one at quite a few 7/11s, and I vowed to get it sometime on this… Continue reading Pearl Milk Tea Crispy Ice Cream Bar – Chun Sui Tang x Xiao Mei (小美)
As I’m writing this, I’m midday snacking on popcorn chicken I bought across the street from my grandma’s place. I had a big brunch/meal this morning and wasn’t feeling hungry for a bit, but after chilling a bit I was feeling sleepy and wanted to do something on my last full day in Taiwan (sad…).… Continue reading White Jade Au Lait (白玉歐蕾) – Kebuke
Today I went on solo Jiufen outing, which is a mountain village town area that bears a striking similarity to Spirited Away (though Miyazaki has denied it). I came back to Taipei proper around late afternoon, strolled around the area, and looked for a new boba place in the area (there is no shortage, but… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Latte (桂香烏龍那堤) – Hechalou
Surprisingly, I did not get a drink today (though I did get a cup of winter melon tea at the night market I went to, does that count? No boba in it, but I get winter melon at boba places). Instead, I did drop by two places that featured boba in the menu items I… Continue reading A couple boba eats: a wheel cake and shaved ice
Today my grandma and I went to hang out in the morning and get lunch at Taipei station. I happened to find a branch of the Tao Tao Tea she wanted to take me to in the bottom underground level, and though we missed it yesterday, we were able to go today. She was so… Continue reading Charcoal Roasted TieGuanYin Latte (炭焙鐵觀音鮮奶拿鐵) – Rose House / TaoTao Tea
My grandma and I went to Ding Tai Fung at Taipei 101 this morning. Aside from an amazing lunch, apparently the main reason she wanted to go to that location was because she wanted me to try a boba place over there. After eating and doing some snack shopping and waiting at the stop for… Continue reading Chilai Oolong Tea Latte (琥珀烏龍拿鐵) – Truedan
