FTF: Dinner At Bubble Tea

While waiting for a bunch of car stickers we had made, we went to Bubble Tea to have dinner. I really missed their food. My son's been using the chopsticks lately. The following day, we shared a plate of sushi, and he liked it. I'm glad he's learning a lot as early as now. I mean, I learned to use the chopsticks when I was 13 years old.

Franky enjoying using the chopsticks. I ordered my favorite drink: Cold Green Tea with a hint of Lychee and Bubbles.

Weekend Fun With My Boys

Last week, we were blessed to have a long weekend. Just a few days after my husband was discharged from the hospital. Very timely, we took advantage of it. Even in the process of recuperating, my husband still opted to go out. Being stuck in the hospital was just unexplainable, it plays with your mind. It's not healthy psychologically speaking. Well, it's our first time to stay in a hospital for 1 week straight..

Anyway, Friday we went to Sm Megamall to do a bit of strolling and window shopping. Visited shops we missed and food we've been dying to taste. Restaurant stop was at Bubble Tea. I was craving for their Cold, Lychee Green Tea with Bubbles (related post). As for my husband, we ordered something fat free and salt free. That's what I like about Bubble Tea, they have plenty of options. We continued our escapade Saturday, buy doing the groceries at SM Hypermarket Tiendesitas. This time, we added a little to our regular budget so we can celebrate with my husband's speedy recovery. Had a good massage at the Big Apple Spa (also in Tiendesitas).

Sunday, I took my boys to the barbershop for their haircut. Then drove to a nearby mall, I went window shopping at the newly opened Payless ShoeSource, then had some pampering time at the salon. We had dinner at Sbarro.

Again, I have been craving for another dish. Sbarro's Baked Ziti. This time, I ordered some Chicken Parmigiano with meat sauce to top it. My son finished a big slice of Hawaiian Pizza and for my husband---Spicy Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Over-all, it was a perfect weekend for us. We didn't spend so much just to enjoy and it's still fun as dirt bike riding. It marked a new beginning for us. 

The important things are: health -wise and family-wise, it made us stronger than ever as one unit.

This has been a regular for us every time my husband and I would visit Bubble Tea. It is cold green tea and Lychees with black tapioca. You can also have it hot.
(cold/large at Php68- hot at Php45)
It is very refreshing and most of all, healthy!

Royal Milk Tea (Php80- cold)

Bubble Tea originated in Taiwan in the early 1980's at a small tea stand. Bubble tea is also known as boba drink, pearl tea drink, boba ice tea, boba, boba nai cha, zhen zhou nai cha, pearl milk tea, pearl ice tea, black pearl tea, tapioca ball drink. Most of the time tapioca pearls were served in cold infused tea. After the tea and flavor were shaken well, it topped tapioca pearls that were sitting on the bottom of a clear cup. The tapioca pearls also looked like bubbles, thus also became to known as "Bubble Tea." Bubbles floated on the top your drink and bottom of your drink.-source-

Girls Talk!--- My Favorite Drinks

The girls are buzzing about their favorite drinks. It's time that I share a few on this food blog of mine.

Since I stopped drinking coffee, my Starbucks fix would always be on their frapps. I have 2 favorites on my list, the Starbucks Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino and their Coffee Jelly. It goes with any slice of chocolate cake or blueberry cheesecake.

Tea has been part of my diet since I was a kid. My dad would always serve tea after every meal. Not just any tea bag by the way... tea from dried leaves and flowers (such as jasmine) from a tea plant. I tell you, I assume that tea helped a lot with our growth. None of us got hospitalized and my parents looks younger and more active for their age.

To give my tea experience a twist, one of the tea drinks I enjoy is this Cold Green Tea from Bubble Tea.

It's the typical healthy green tea, usually served hot in tea pots. Only I choose to have mine cold.

Lastly, a bottle of cold beer over the weekend, celebrates a 2 day rest from the usual activities I always do everyday.
