One of my friend had a coupon for Dayung's that's expiring this weekend, so we opted to go there today. Plus, she had a meeting to attend at 6, so we got dinner and boba early, and will do most of our normal groceries later... I know last time I had Dayung's I said I'd… Continue reading Roasted Oolong Milk Tea – Dayung’s Tea
Happy (early) Galentine’s! My friends wanted to do something for Valentine’s Day, but since there would obviously be too many people going out on Monday night, we decided to do a more special thing for today’s eat out. One of my friends suggested Tasty Noodle House, so we are there. My other friend was craving… Continue reading Wintermelon with Fresh Milk – Happy Lemon
Today was my first day eating out with my friends since coming back to school. We were debating about where to go, since none of us had strong preferences, and one suggested our go-to Korean place to celebrate a good midterm score. Since we’ve been meaning to try out some other Korean places in the… Continue reading Matcha Latte – Dayung’s Tea
My dad asked my mom around 4ish if we wanted a drink from Tea Maru. My hypothesis is that since he would be there to pick up my sister, and my mom was saying earlier how she'd like a drink, maybe those two things combined or something...so I'm getting a drink, and I'm not saying… Continue reading Maru Milk – Tea Maru
My mom has been wanting Soma recently, so my dad suggested today (Sunday) to be a good day to get a drink. He had this odd reasoning about Sundays being a good day for boba, something along the lines of the week winding down, but I can always go for boba, so… Today I thought… Continue reading Cocoa Milk Tea – Soma Tea & Mocktail
Recently my sister told me (I forget why) that she likes macarons. I told my parents recently, and so we started thinking of places to get macarons. The biggest macaron specialty place around here is Honey and Butter, but since it's in Spectrum it's slightly inconvenient, and my mom doesn't entirely care for cutesy macarons,… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (#5) – 7 Leaves Cafe
My sister is getting her Covid booster shot today, so since we were in the plaza, my mom figured we could stop by Sharetea and get a drink. She chose it over the new Pink Pig in the plaza, and Cha for Tea, but we have a closer Cha to home, so Sharetea it is.… Continue reading Fresh Milk Green Tea – Sharetea
Sometime last week I get a text from the system Tea Maru uses for a coupon, with the reason that they hadn't seen me in a while. It didn't say what it was, only that it was expiring on January 13. When I sampled input it into their online order system (since it's valid in… Continue reading Mango Fluffy Matcha – Tea Maru
My mom has been wanting to get Soma, and after trying on Monday, she’s been really wanting it. Apparently they’re only open Thursday and Sunday, because I think now it's officially in their soft opening. They’re short staffed, which is understandable. Also, I did most of my order in Chinese, which I’m pretty proud of.… Continue reading Golden Milk Tea (#3) – Soma Tea & Mocktail
Apparently, Soma is actually opening a location in Irvine, with the opening being today. I've been kind of out of the loop of local boba news, but this was a pleasant surprise to hear as my mom told me. (She found out from the Facebook or Line group apparently.) She asked me if I wanted… Continue reading Matcha – Soma Tea & Mocktail
