I went here over the weekend for a quick bubble tea and pastry fix. I got a bubble tea and a green tea “mochi” cake. Good Lord, I have NO idea what kinds of flavorings they use, but I haven’t had that much of a chemical aftertaste in a long while. The worst fake strawberry ever. Plus, the “mochi” had a horrible texture and was covered in coconut, as if the red pean paste in the center wasn’t sweet enough. I couldn’t eat it.

The actual food looked really good, though– just be careful of those desserts!

They have a whole second floor available for seating.
The alright, although everything seems to be DRENCHED in sauce, from the meats to the veggies.

Methinks I’m going to have to augment the straight pins and sledgehammer in my sphincter penetrating arsenal with something a bit more high tech (sigh).

Woah, Bossman,
Chinkstink is not cool to me, either. That term, along with all the others you mentioned, definitely offends.
BTW, I’m not sure I know what an “honorary Chinese” is and why that makes it okay for you to use yuck terms like that. Gross.

“No, that’s robert duval.”

Smells like aglio e olio…….,the horror….the horror

For the record, I love that stuff (w/anchovies and liberal dosing of red pepper) it’s goomba crack….. it works like a systemic skin moisturizer.

@Yvo – Bingo….. hey the one thing one doesn’t have control of is their relatives/heritage. I’m a greaseball and although I can make a mean meatball I can’t lay brick for shit…. oh well.
