Today was a day at the National Palace Museum, and we ended the day with a fancy hot pot dinner. After that, the day is truly not done without some boba. I wanted something from their fresh milk section, which weirdly enough is not that many. They did have a Thai Tea though, which is… Continue reading Shan Shan Red Tea Latte (姍姍紅茶拿鐵) – Truedan
Today was a chill date out with my wife friend! We started out getting lunch at Ever After Tearoom, a new place in town I found on Yelp that also offered food in addition to boba, and then hung out at her place for the rest of the day. Their Magnificent Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea… Continue reading Osmanthus 4 Season Milk Tea – Ever After Tearoom & Eatery
My boyfriend came back from Korea today after being a week away, and he stopped by The Alley for a drink and got me one too!

I can always go for a matcha and a… Continue reading Brown Sugar Tapioca Matcha Latte #2 (黒糖タピオカ抹茶ラテ) – The Alley
Today I flew back to Hokkaido from Tokyo! As per tradition, since I had some time before our bus back home and I’d like a drink for the 2 hour ride home, I’m getting boba, today from The Alley. It’s mainly because I have a free upsize coupon that I need to use by the… Continue reading Brown Sugar Tapioca Matcha Latte (黒糖タピオカ抹茶ラテ) – The Alley
I’m in Tokyo with my family! Today we’re in Ginza to do some last minute Tokyo shopping for my mom, as it’s our last full day in Tokyo. Before they came, I remember my mom saying she didn’t want any boba in Japan, but here we are…it’s also super hot, so a refreshing drink hits… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャズミンミルクティー) – Truedan
My grandma and I went to Ding Tai Fung at Taipei 101 this morning. Aside from an amazing lunch, apparently the main reason she wanted to go to that location was because she wanted me to try a boba place over there. After eating and doing some snack shopping and waiting at the stop for… Continue reading Chilai Oolong Tea Latte (琥珀烏龍拿鐵) – Truedan
My friend and I are hanging out in Harajuku today! In the morning we went to the Starbucks Reserve, had some drinks, and then hung out the rest of the day in the Harajuku and Shinjuku area.

My dad’s in Sapporo to come see me while he’s in Taiwan for business, and I had a holiday today, so we met up and did a bit of touring and shopping! Read about that over on my Japan blog, here. I ideally wanted boba today, and was trying to go for Shin An Ju,… Continue reading Maple TieGuanYin Milk Tea (メープル鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Alley
I might say, I’m going to The Alley today, and you’ll think “that’s highly suspicious and dangerous, you shouldn’t do that”, and normally you’d be right, but that’s not the case when it’s the boba shop! I remembered when they first opened one near me sometime around the pandemic, and I wanted to try it… Continue reading What’s a Deerioca? – The Alley
Today’s my first full day in Japan! I landed last night, but my group of friends were too tired yesterday to go to anything, so I’m going out for the first time today. There was a group this morning that went to go get boba, but they went real early since the store opens at… Continue reading “Bonsai” Garden Milk Tea – The Alley Lujiaoxiang
