CLOSED AS OF FEBRUARY 2024. You really got to applaud new places opening up in the middle of a pandemic, and applaud them even more for opening up right next to a viral beast in the boba scene. Enter Cloudy Co., a boba shop that opened in the same plaza as Orobae a bit after… Continue reading A Modern Tea Bar – Cloudy Co.
This weekend was just a chill weekend at home, but my boyfriend went out to Sapporo because his favorite ramen shop had a new limited menu. When he came back, he surprised me with boba! He bought me a taro milk. I am very thankful for him bringing it back, and it also was a… Continue reading Taro Milk (タロミルク) – Gong Cha
In my opinion, clearly, with heavy bias. If you'd like to challenge my opinion, feel free to leave me a comment, or just try these places for yourself :). If no one's caught on yet, I hail from the Irvine bubble in Southern California, and practically watched the boba scene unfold right in front of… Continue reading The Best Boba in Irvine, California
I’m finally back at The Tea today! Today I went back to Sapporo after a week for various reasons, did a lot of shopping (but not for me), walking around, and buying food. My boba of choice for the bus ride home today is The Tea. It’s strawberry season, and I’ve been in a huge… Continue reading Strawberry Matcha Milk (苺抹茶ミルク) – The Tea
Today I’m in Sapporo, because it’s a holiday (Happy birthday to the emperor!), and mainly to do some eating (what’s new?), and Kirby hunting. Spoiler: some went well, some didn’t (but you can check my other blog for those details later). I’m at Gong Cha for my boba home today because of their new seasonal.… Continue reading Cookie & Cream Chocolat Milk Tea (サクほろっ!クッキー＆クリームショコラミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I’m heading home from Sapporo, making a stop in Otaru beforehand. On the way to Otaru, I wanted to grab boba in Sapporo since we were leaving, and my choice of the day was The Alley, since there’s some new seasonals. Seems like they’re changing up their app in March, as no more points… Continue reading Chocolate Tea (ショコラティー) – The Alley
I’m in Sapporo this weekend for my second Snow Festival! I went straight from work to Sapporo, and my first stop off the bus was to Gong Cha. I really wanted to snag one of the special bottles, because last time they ran out of the gingerbread man ones before I could get one. For… Continue reading Heartful Bottle Strawberry Alishan Oolong Milk Tea with Pearl (ハートフルボトル パール入り ストロベリー阿里山ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
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 Winter Melon Green 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
