Ah, you're a sneaky one.

Did school steal you from CreateBlog, too? :[

Why, thank you. :DDDDD

Yeah, it did. :( I'm taking seven classes, and it's my senior year. I don't know what I was thinking.

But I shall try to post like crazy during my breaks! >] And when all the underclassmen have to do STAR testing and exit exams and whatnot.

Anyone know anyplace in Chicago where I can try bubble tea? It sounds interesting!

CHINATOWN!

or Joy Yee's <3 it's on halstead in university village. i recommend the strawberry mango flavor.

Thanks I will have to try it next time I am in that area.

It's always weird for me to think of Chinatown located anywhere besides New York City, I dunno why.

Definitely report back to us, Derick!

I got a coupon for a bubble tea place at my school... $1 off! I don't know if I should go use it now though. I'm craving for some, but I'm about to go to the gym.........................

Treat yourself to some after your workout. :]

^ I went, and they happened to be out of pearls. =(

God is trying to tell me something.

Melon is good

Aw, that bites. Boba places should have a backup pearl supply!

i put my bubble tea in the microwave for 4 minutes the other day so it could melt, lmao. we put bubble tea in the freezer when no one drinks it when its in the fridge

also sometimes when i get my bubble tea, depending on what flavor i get, the tapioca is like..frozen so when the rice cooker thing is on, i just hold my bubble tea over the hot steam for it to melt ^-----^

i live so far away from a boba place. It's like month before i can have one agian.

^ i'm sorry. that's torture.

^That is, that is. :(



It's hard for me to think of Chinatown located anywhere besides San Francisco.

moorepocket (Ryan, right?), where do you live?

you dont know how bad i want some bubble tea right now. Too bad the last time i saw bubble tea was in Toronto and San Francisco. Should have gotten some there.

I'm #19 on the list and my username has been changed a long time ago.

There's a taiwanese-style 'tea inn' near college so I can enjoy bubble tea regularly.

I've been craving bubble tea since last night... I have to go get some sooon!!!!!

I just had some today. :DD So good.
UHMM, if I can be added to the list?
I'm Dessa! ^-^

bubble tea = love.

everytime i am at work i always get free bubble tea.

i don't think i paid for a single bubble tea in my life

According to his CB profile, Tampa. D: There seriously ARE no Asian places in Florida...

Winnie: Changed!
Dessa: Of course. You're member #50. :D And there's a little form in the first post that you can fill out if you want.
Chantul: So you work at a boba store? For how long?

Wow..... so lucky! Where do you work? I'd love to get a job there.

@Cristy/Ryan: Florida? No wonder you've gone so long without ever having bubble tea. It's as non-asian as my school is asain. XD

I just had another chocolate milk tea with pearls at Jumbo Cup. =D



I really need to change my selections up a bit.

^ I went with her! I got a strawberry green tea with pearls + Mango Stars.

I always feel like I get tricked when I have bubble tea. Like, what else could I get for $3.75? A whole lot of better things. I think bubble tea is grossly overpriced.

They really ought to have half-size servings.

Gah same here!
The bubble tea chain here no longer provides small-size servings, but only regular and large. Which means we have to pay more now (cos I used to buy small only).

Mango Stars?

Haha, so true, but no one ever questions it because boba's just too good. xD

Mango stars, exactly what it sounds like - mango pieces cut into star-shapes around the same size as the pearls. Delicious. I prefer them over the pearls actually. I think they're too big.

They sound so cute, I want some now.

$3.75?! The most I'll pay is $3, tops.

Mango stars sound really good; I wanna try some now. Do you have issues sucking them up the straw?

Nope, like I said, they're the same size as the pearls.

Oh, so the corners don't give you any problems. Cool.

My parents went out walking again. I wonder if they'll bring me back some. They do that occasionally. :]

They're deeeeeeeelish. I sort of want to make my own mango stars to put in orange juice or something XD.

Orange and mango together = so good! I think all orange fruits are good: oranges, tangerines, cantaloupes, mangoes, papayas, etc.

I got another chocolate milk tea with pearls from Jumbo Cup... I feel guilty.

i had a strawberry mango tapioca from joy yee's! =]

yeah it's 3.75 here too (chicago), but the portion they give you is HUGE. you know those big evian bottles? yeah, it's like a little taller than that... but in a mug. it's a GIANT mug! i think there's only that size at joy yee's.

^ No, the sizes that they have at my place are quite large too - but I can never finish them! Wish there was another option, that's all.

Bubble tea binge! (?)

I had a big dinner that day, and was waiting for the bus. The bus stop happened to be right outside Jumbo Cup, and I couldn't resist after standing for five minutes. =(

LOL

thank god the Starbucks is far from the bus stop XD

i work at a chinese restaurant in the mall and we sell bubble tea

It's too cold for bubble tea now. ;_; And Ten Ren sells warm bubble tea, but that's kind of weird. The one time I drank it was not that good.

I wanna join! Lee's Dragon by me makes and sells Bubble tea ^_^ <222222

Name: Jennifer Cecelia Stanley (JenniferCecelia)
Favorite flavor of bubble tea: Coconut Milk
First time you had bubble tea: 8 or so years ago
Store you usually buy from: Lee's Dragon

Dammit, why did this thread have to get bumped up again? Now I'm craving bubble tea.

Welcome, Jennifer! Where do you live? I've never heard of Lee's Dragon. How Asian-sounding. xD

Ever heard of Hung Lo?

Apparently from a classmate of mine they sell bubble tea at this one restauraunt on saturdays. Im so going today to get some! I havent had any since last spring break.

Only on Saturdays? And that's way too long to go without having any bubble tea. Hopefully the kind at that restaurant is good.

I was seriously considering bubble tea after I binged (fringed?! Joanne? LOL!) on a huuuuuge meal at Sushi Town last night. I almost did it, but my friends didn't want to. Or they were joking.

:(

I will have bubble tea on Monday, I promise.

^ Haha, my mentioning bubble tea was a joke... because the last time I went to Sushi Town with Chuiee, we were both STUFFED TO THE MAX and I said I wouldn't get bubble-tea. I waited for the bus right in front of Jumbo Cup though, and after 10 minutes of waiting, I couldn't resist any longer. Chuiee saw me drink bbt while her bus passed Jumbo Cup... she never lets me forget it now. =(


LOL @ 'fringe'.

The Verde near my house closed!!! They're opening in a new location, but not 'til next year. :( They had the best bubble tea.

I tried TenRen for the first time yesterday. It wasn't bad, but a little on the expensive side from what I usually pay.
