On November 28th, my sister and I went to see Wicked Part 2 in Theaters! Good movie, and I got free popcorn as a birthday reward! It didn't feel as long as Part 1, and I thoroughly enjoyed Part 2. I should see the actual musical sometime as comparison...my parents decided to get Din Tai… Continue reading Milk Tea (Jasmine) – Din Tai Fung
On November 27th, my sister suggested getting boba, and the first suggestion was Bako. However, their online ordering system wasn't working...and we realized they were probably closed for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving! I scrolled through my places to-try list, and I suggested the relatively newly opened 3Cat. Reviews seemed generally positive, and we could order online… Continue reading Longjing Milk Tea – 3Cat
On November 26th, it was my first full day at home in a couple months! My school was off for Thanksgiving break, and I'm spending a few days at home with family and friends. My sister wanted to get boba, and I had a boba checklist to get through coming back home, ha! First stop,… Continue reading Jin Xuan Oolong Milk Tea – Bopomofo Cafe
On October 1st, I hung out with a college friend I haven't seen in 3 years! She's from San Jose, and since I'm now in Northern California, I'm a lot physically closer to her (but I suppose anywhere beats the distance with Japan). I don't have an easy way of getting to her, but she's… Continue reading Green Thai Tea #3 – 7 Leaves Cafe
On September 27th, I went to a local cafe to study with friends! Plumes seems to be a default place for students around here to study, with table space, decently priced food and drink offerings, and chill atmosphere. They also offer a student discount on drinks! I've been hesitant to try the boba around the… Continue reading Thai Boba Milk Tea – Plumes Coffee & Tea
On August 23rd, I helped my sister move in to her second year of college! We drove up to LA, unloaded the first load of stuff, and helped her settle in to her dorm. Meanwhile, my dad went back home for a second load of stuff, and on the way, brought back boba we ordered… Continue reading High Mountain Pouchong Tea – Chi Cha San Chen
On August 21, I went out to go get boba at Sunright with my sister! We wanted a change of pace from what we were getting recently, and I brought up Sunright, which I haven't had in a while. I have mostly exhausted Sunright's normal milk tea menu at this point, so I looked to… Continue reading Strawberry Jasmine Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
On August 20th, I went to Costco with my dad in the morning, and then out with my sister to get boba at Wushiland in the afternoon! Wushiland is close, and we ordered on my mom's mobile order app so we just walked in, grabbed our drinks, and left. One of Wushiland's more interesting choices… Continue reading Ice Cream Green Tea – Wushiland Boba
On August 19th, I took my sister out on a drive to get boba! This time, our shop of choice was Macu (suggested by our mom!). Last time I went it was all order in-person at the cashier, which caused a little confusion about the whole latte option, but now, there's tablets to order from,… Continue reading Tieguanyin Oolong Tea Latte – Macu Tea
On August 17, I met up with college friends I haven't seen in three years! We decided to meet up at Jam Jam to get boba. My friends haven't been, and you can't go wrong with Jam Jam. I was feeling experimental with their menu, and I think their signature menu is actually the fruit… Continue reading Green Grape Smash – Jam Jam Tea Lab
