My boyfriend came back from Sapporo yesterday! He spent the weekend in Sapporo, and his way back, I requested a drink if he had time...and he brought me one back! Gong Cha is just starting the new seasonals again, with the annual first flush matcha series overlapping with the shine muscat series. I had the… Continue reading First Flush Matcha with Crepe Milk Tea (一番摘み抹茶サクサククレープ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Chakaa quickly grew to be one of my go-tos while I was in college in San Diego. The vibes were cool, drinks were consistently good, and there was a variety on the menu to chosoe from. The location was also really good, on the middle of Convoy street, and easily accessible from the good food… Continue reading Bobo – Chakaa
Today’s my last full day in Fukuoka! My friend and I did an Itoshima trip in the morning, and I went to explore Tenjin by myself in the afternoon. While in Tenjin, I was debating what to get for boba, but ended up going to Chun Sui Tang. Technically not an original shop or unique… Continue reading BUBBLE AMAOU Strawberry Milk Tea (タピオカあまおう苺ミルクティー) – Chun Sui Tang
It’s Golden Week in Japan! (Well, this year’s lineup of holidays is not very good, unlike next year’s…). This year I’m traveling to Fukuoka, to eat some local eats, visit a friend, and sightsee! This is the furthest east in Japan I’ve ever been, and probably will be, for a while. On the way to… Continue reading Mango Mini Pearl Milk Tea (マンゴーミニパールミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Oiio Cafe doesn't actually have a website, so the link goes to their Facebook page. I’m still a little confused by the shop’s name, but at least the first time when I ordered I said “oyo” and everything seemed fine with the cashier. This place was definitely such a great find for a day when… Continue reading Oyo? Oeeo? Ollo? – Oiio Cafe Orange
Yesterday my dad flew into Sapporo to visit me! He had business in Tokyo, and while he was at it, came to Hokkaido to hang out and help me take some things home <3. We had a great time eating meals, and it was good to see him again (after a short period, ha!). After… Continue reading Kagaboucha Tapioka Milk Tea (加賀棒茶タピオカミルクティー) – Tsutsumiya
Yesterday was my last day in Hong Kong! I spent my time there being taken around by extended family, and had an amazing time. Apparently they heard I liked boba, so they sweat out of their way to bring me to some boba shops! A bit shoutout and thank you to them 🙂 Everyday has… Continue reading Traditional Wintermelon with Fresh Milk – Kingyo
I landed in Singapore today! After landing in the early morning and a bit of a rough start to the day, I got to explore the city and eat lots of yummy food! One of those, is a Chi Cha San Chen drink. While yes, this isn’t unique to Singapore, Singapore has so many branches… Continue reading Iced Peach Tea – Chi Cha San Chen
Yesterday my boyfriend came back to stay with me for a while! On the way from the airport, he stopped by Sapporo for food, and picked up boba for me! The new Gong Cha seasonal doesn't start until today. This means yesterday they were still offering stuff I wasn't super interested in, or just the… Continue reading Chocolate Milk (チョコレートミルク) – Gong Cha
Class 302 was a staple of my high school and boba life. It was close to home, convenient, near my weekly volunteer spot, and overall in a plaza good to hang out in with shopping and food spots around. Though the drinks themselves aren't revolutionary, what makes Class 302 stand out is their drink system.… Continue reading Self Serve Boba – Class 302
