“The boba pearls were forming a union at the bottom of my cup.

The taro milk tea? Divine. It tasted like a purple cloud made of childhood dreams and lactose. The boba pearls were so perfectly chewy that I briefly considered proposing to one.

At first, I thought the cup was too small, but halfway through, I realized it was the perfect size for my emotional capacity — large enough to bring me joy, small enough to leave me wanting more (like all my relationships).

By the time I got to the last few pearls, I was sucking air through the straw like a Hoover vacuum trying to summon the ghost of boba past.

Would I come back? Absolutely. This isn’t just a drink — it’s a lifestyle, a coping mechanism, and a sticky-sweet cry for help. 🧋✨

Want me to make a version that sounds like it was written by a food critic, a college student, or a boba addict on Yelp at 2 a.m.?“

“We just discovered this wonderful Thai restaurant. It was so nice to eat where it felt like everything was cooked with imagination (and love). Jimmy was friendly and so helpful. He said his mom Mai was the cook. Portions were generous, prices good. Thanks for a great meal.“
