Who woulda guessed that there’s an Asian plaza in the small city of Gilroy? The plaza is pretty big, but it’s also pretty empty, as most of its real estate is still vacant. One of it’s occupants, though, is Tapioca Express. My green milk tea (奶綠) was too sweet, but as the only milk tea [...]

I know it’s near impossible to find Taiwanese food in San Francisco, but they do exist. Sweet Delite Gourmet Foods Company reminds me of the small, local shops in Taiwan. It’s a small place with a large drinks selection but a small food menu, and when I went, there was just two old ladies working [...]

I like the green milk tea (奶綠) at Dessert Republic. Why? Because they use real matcha powder. You can taste the difference. That’s all this time! 138 Main St San Mateo, CA 94401 (650) 401-3570

I just had some of the best milk tea in San Francisco ever from Cynthia’s Crepes over on Clement St. Actually, I got their milk green tea, which is my default drink of choice at these Taiwanese drink stations. It wasn’t overly sweet, the tea tasted like what I get in Taiwan, and the pearls [...]

There’s a handful of Eggettes out there, but my favorite is the one in Glen Park. I feel like the quality of their food and drinks is better, plus there’s a lot more going on in there with their couch and big screen tv, games, and even their new frozen yogurt bar. Anyway, I always [...]

What I love about Big Sugar Bakeshop is that it rates a zero in the “pretentiousness scale” but a ten for good taste. It looks like a typical local cafe when you walk in, but their cupcakes are some of the best I’ve had, with the cakes all being moist, and the frosting being light [...]

We had a small bite and some tea at Bricks and Scones. Their rose champagne tea was my favorite. They use tea from Lupicia, a Japanese tea boutique. Their scones were also well-made. I’d pass on the cupcake next time. That red velvet cupcake had nice flavor but was too dry. Neighborhood: Mid Wilshire 403 [...]

The Tuttimelon in Chinatown/North Beach reopened this weekend, now as a self-serve frozen yogurt shop and as a hybrid store along with Tea Way, i.e., they now offer pearl milk tea drinks and fried snacks. They also still serve gelato (since they also used to be Yoogo Gelato). They were offering free frozen yogurt today [...]

We went to Posh II (the second location of Posh) for dessert. Their desserts didn’t have much of a wow factor, although their hot apple pie drink really did taste like a warm apple pie, but in drink form. Everything else (chocolate with ice cream, yogurt drink, crepe) was okay. 台北市大安區敦化南路一段190巷42號 – 02-2773-0568

The cakes at Crown beats the cakes at other drink places. My favorites were the green tea mousse cake and the strawberry chocolate tart. Crown is open 24 hours so it’s an ideal place for people with a sweet tooth to hang out. I also had their “Steamed Taffy Milk” and it was delicious.
