After dinner, we stopped by at Half & Half in the same plaza to get a drink.
芋頭布丁波霸奶茶 Iced Milk Drink w/ Taro Pudding and Honey Boba
山粉圓愛玉金桔檸檬 Lemon Kumquat w/ Sesame Boba and Amber Jelly
Dr. P ordered Iced Milk Drink with Taro Pudding and Honey Boba. He liked it a lot. I like their honey boba.
I wanted to try something different, and ordered Lemon Kumquat with Sesame Boba and Amber Jelly. At first I thought sesame boba was boba with sesame flavor. But turns out that it was a seed from a plant called chia. Chia seed can be prepared the same way as boba. It looks like mini white boba with a dark center, and it was kinda crunchy and chewy at the same time. I love it! I think I'm always going to order drinks with sesame boba from now on.
Where can I find drinks with sesame boba (chia seeds) in Orange County?
Add them to drinks yourself! They are also known as basil seeds and you can purchase them in Asian grocery stores. Just soak them in a bowl of water and watch them grow! Haha Vietnamese ppl put them in dessert drinks
ReplyDeleteDo I need to cook them in sugar water to make them sweet?
Does it naturally have flavor?
What a nice name for chia seeds! No, you don't have to cook the seeds, you can just soak them in cold water and perhaps a sweetener of your choice to make them sweet. It doesn't have much flavor, besides being slightly sweet. You should be able to find them at Whole Foods for about 10-15 dollars a pound (organic), I saw a large display at my local one recently.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip.
I can't wait to try to make this at home.
