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
Happy (American?) National Boba Day! Today’s my first full day in Taiwan! I went to get some traditional Taiwanese breakfast in the morning, and then on the way to dim sum for lunch, we took the Taiwan railway system so I could get a card and get a feel for the system (which is pretty… Continue reading Signature Red Tea Latte (招牌紅拿鐵) – A Nice Holiday
I’m officially in Taiwan for Golden Week! After I met up with my grandma at her house (where I’ll be staying during my trip), I asked her if it was ok to go get boba, and even though apparently my dad didn’t want me too, my grandma indulged me and took me to go get… Continue reading Green Milk Tea – 50嵐
My boyfriend is heading to Korea today, and I went along with him to drop him off at the airport. I was originally going to get a drink on the way home, but my boyfriend mentioned he wanted to get a drink on the way to the airport like we did the previous times, so… Continue reading Tropical Fruits Slush (トロピカルな果実) – The Alley
