orange leaf

orange leaf. i am a frozen yogurt purist. i like the plain tart and orange leaf's plain tart was yum. to maximize your experience, here's the drill: once inside orange leaf, grab a plastic spoon, they are by the cash register. then head for the cups. choose between the 2 cup sizes they offer; large or extra large, then pick a flavor from the 16, yeah, 16 flavors at the self-serve, soft-serve bins. drop a dollop into the cup, & here’s where that spoon comes in handy --- taste. choose the one, two or more flavors desired and head to the icky, toppings bar where gross people and snotty children are allowed to go willy nilly. i skipped that horror and went straight to the cashier and scale. yep, yogurt by the ounce. weigh & pay, then take a seat on the mod orange hydraulic bar stool and watch the gross people plunder the toppings.

Wow, please take me here next time I visit. In Seattle we have plenty of 'real' frozen yogurt, but the options never extend beyond: plain, green tea, taro, chocolate, pomegranate and one rotating flavor (usually pineapple or strawberry)... and never all available at the same place. Peanut butter? Cheesecake? I want, sans germy toppings.

Whenever i've gone to a buffet, i always think of you and your aversion to the buffet. Needless to say, i've not been to one in a long time. Know any good Bubble Tea places?

uh, had it once (& for sure, the last time)at Van Lang, but see posters for it at the rivermarket. from Wikipedia: A common misconception: the name "bubble tea" is often associated with pearl milk tea. However, "bubble tea" simply refers to the shaken or whipped drink base. "Bubble tea with pearls" is a more accurate description of the Taiwanese shaken/stirred/whipped tea containing tapioca pearls. Pearl milk tea (of which "bubble tea with pearls" is a subset), also known as "boba milk tea", can refer to any milk tea commonly used, such as Hong Kong-style milk tea, combined with tapioca.
