Today I met up with some friends, because socializing in times of safely social distancing is important and digital meetups can't really replace real life socializing you know? We're studying Russian over the summer, and practicing the language in real life also helps a lot more than studying digitally. There's just something about it. Today… Continue reading Mango Mojito – Redstraw Tea Bar
Happy Chinese Dragon Boat Festival! Most (if not all I think?) Chinese holidays, or festivals or celebrations or whatever synonym you want to use, have a certain food associated with them that you eat on that day. There's usually a purpose or meaning to them too, but I'm a bad ABC and forgotten most of… Continue reading Matcha Soy Tea- 7 Leaves Cafe
Omomo opened their newest location this past weekend and they're currently on a soft opening, so hopefully with two locations in Irvine the line will die down at the other one! In any case, my dad went out today, and thought about stopping by Omomo, and I am always down for a drink, so of… Continue reading Camo Thai – Omomo Tea Shoppe
My parents had plans to go to Cream Pan (a local Japanese bakery that rocks), so I asked them to stop by HNTea for a drink. I haven't had HNTea for a while, and I think I've been low-key missing their drinks. I would probably go more often, but the parking there is horrendous and… Continue reading Mountain Rock Tea Latte – HNTea
As is traditional with summer, come all the doctor appointments. Yesterday I went to the dentist, and I cursed past me for making a 9am appointment. Why, you may ask. Because the earliest any regular boba place opens is at 11am! Of course, there always lies an exception: 7 Leaves opens at 7am. As much… Continue reading Oiio Milk Tea – Oiio Cafe Orange
Throughout the day boba sounded like such a great idea because it’s been really hot. Actually, it’s been hot everyday because summer (duh), and there’s never a day when boba doesn’t sound good, so maybe I’m trying too much to justify boba (again, you never really need to justify boba but it makes you feel… Continue reading Sunset Passion – 7 Leaves Cafe
My sister graduated middle school yesterday! And we were supposed to get boba to celebrate...but our Ding Tai Fung takeout order took twice as long as expected, so we ended up not getting boba, which leads to today. Man, I must have really wanted that boba because I almost missed both of my photos (that's… Continue reading Sunright Boba Milk Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
Today my family got takeout from a place we thought was closed, but according to Yelp they're open again, so huzzah. In the same plaza lies 7 Leaves (as is Lollicup, but my thoughts on Lollicup can come at a later time), so today's drink is from 7 Leaves (wow, big surprise). Gosh 7 Leaves… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
Ah, a real boba post! So the occasion today was my sister’s graduation Luau...not that I need an occasion to have boba, but having some kind of justification makes me feel better...Anyway, my parents chose a place that my sister could get a drink from (which generally only eliminates a few choices anyway) hence Omomo… Continue reading Omomo Matcha – Omomo Tea Shoppe
