Not a boba snack, but I'm finally getting around to actually opening another Taiwan snack I bought almost a year ago (oops!). It's popcorn! It's a packaged snack though, and the lady assured me that unopened the contents would last for a while. I was at Taiwan station with my grandma to go eat at… Continue reading Tieguanyin Popcorn – Magi Planet
Today I’m going back home after spending the weekend in Sapporo! As usual, my last stop before getting on the bus is boba, and today I’m stopping by The Tea, as I still have drinks to try, and it’s near one of my bus stops. A while ago I was excited to see they have… Continue reading Wintermelon Chincha Milk Tea (冬瓜青ミルクティー) – The Tea
Today my boyfriend are in Sapporo for the weekend and that means opportunity for boba! We stopped by Shin An Ju since we were in the area after lunch. To be honest, the only drink I have left to try is the hojicha milk tea, but I was feeling a bit full, and wanted something… Continue reading Tapioca Mango Juice (タピオカマンゴージュース) – Shin An Ju
Ding Tea is another one of those common boba chains around that claims to have originated in Taiwan (if I go to Taiwan, do I care about finding one? Not really). They're a pretty widespread chain, and I think they have a decent following. Back when I was in college, they used to cater a… Continue reading Shake For Life – Ding Tea
I’m back in Japan! Gong Cha came out with a new seasonal on 12/28 for the new year: the Maneki Yuzu Houji. I suppose it’s maneki as in maneki neko, the beckoning cat beckoning the new year. I will say I am typically not a yuzu person, but I was willing to try this out… Continue reading Maneki Yuzu Houji Milk Tea (招き柚子ほうじミルクティー) – Gong Cha
It's my last day in America...as a send-off of sorts, my family decided to get Din Tai Fung for dinner (it was either going to be yesterday or today)! We love everything on their menu, but my mom is also particularly excited about their milk tea. If I'm going to be stuck on a plane… Continue reading Milk Tea – Din Tai Fung
Today my family and I went to Universal Studios to check out the new Super Mario World! It was a lot of fun, but also lots of people, to no one’s surprised…my family wanted to end the day getting food from Din Tai Fung, but also to no one’s surprise, dine in was full and… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk Tea with BoBa – Mian
I think right before I left for Japan or around that time last year, 7 Leaves introduced a new item to their small menu: the green Thai tea. Either I wasn't there or I just didn't get the chance to try it, but all I know I that ever since it came out, I've been… Continue reading Green Thai Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
I’ve actually heard about ChiChaSanChen for a while, having a Michelin-equivalent of boba. I think this location opened more relatively recently though, but still not super close to where I live. To be honest, this wasn’t on my boba bucket list before going back to Japan in a few days, but now my mom is… Continue reading Green Tea – Chi Cha San Chen
Happy New Year! Today was mostly a chill day after going to sleep past midnight, and I didn't really have any plans. I assumed most stuff would be closed today, but you know what's not closed, big corporations, yay! Specifically, I had been meaning to go to Target to buy snacks to take back to… Continue reading Special Boba Milk Tea – BenGong’s Tea
