Russian Wednesday takes place at Sunright this week because my birthday coupon expires on Friday. Today we finished the second half of the article about a twelve year old Russian boy who made his own business. Wild. So in the name of a healthier-ish alternative I was going to get Sunright's version of the cheese… Continue reading Hokkaido Milk Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
Today's a holiday, but that can't stop us from doing some Russian and getting some boba! We're at Cloudy Co, a new place in town, and got halfway through an article about a boy named Peter. Maybe there's something about cold weather that makes people less productive, maybe it's the holiday, maybe it was the… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Cloudy Co.
Today we went to Omomo because my mom wanted some groceries from Trader Joe's. My friend found a new website with short passages in Russian, so today we read a story about how kangaroos were discovered and a story about birthday revenge. Both were hilarious, and funnier than the original bear joke. Earlier I was… Continue reading Jasmine Creamomo (Cheese) – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Russian practice is back at Omomo! Today we started one of the intermediate passages we found, which was about cats. Miscellaneous grammar items include whatever what was in the passage. It is also significantly cooler, and more tolerable temperature today to be out, which was much appreciated! Boba shall be appreciated in any weather though.… Continue reading Matcha Cortado – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Today's another Russian Friday, this time at Sunright for some variety! We went over some more Russian idioms, as well as looked up the Russian words for body parts. As an added bonus, we also learned the Russian equivalent of "Mr."/"Mrs.". Now that I've tried most of the major milk teas on Sunright's menu, it's… Continue reading Four Seasons Latte – Sunright Tea Studio
Today's Russian study session was at Omomo! My friend and I read a passage on St. Petersburg, and then did some name declension practice, along with some other miscellaneous grammar items. My drink choice today was a pretty quick one: the Jasmine Milk Tea, which I like to call the not-so-secret Omomo menu item. Jasmine… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
I feel like I haven't had Omomo in forever, which is probably because Omomo always has such a long line no matter the time or day that it demotivates any of us to go. When I heard that they opened up online ordering for the Walnut location, I thought that was great news. Then I… Continue reading Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Sunmerry recently came out with boba egg tarts, and more recently made them available at all California locations. Naturally, I had to try them out, since we got 7 Leaves yesterday, and Sunmerry is located in the same plaza. The tart is composed of a flaky crust, a milk tea egg custard base (under the… Continue reading Boba Egg Tart – Sunmerry Bakery
We're back with some Omomo after quite a while! While I wouldn't say I miss Omomo entirely, I have heard about their recent "new" seasonal drinks: Osmanthus Oolong and Itchy Peachy. They both sound pretty good, and I've heard good things. Obviously, I gotta try them, but I didn't know when they'd be "out of… Continue reading Itchy Peachy – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Today's a hot day, which is a great occasion for boba! Or ice cream. Or both. Today I went with the boba ice cream bar from Tiger Sugar (that's stocked up in our freezer). Tiger Sugar is a super popular and big brand that might have started the brown sugar boba milk trend actually. Don't… Continue reading Boba Milk Ice Cream Bar – Tiger Sugar
