I haven't had a fatventure with Fatmine in a long time :P I also haven't seen Pseudo Korean in forever (I don't think I've ever introduced her. She's been on two fatventures with me). Anyways, let's get to it.
These Koreans know how to do their stuff, especially dessert. Below is taiyaki (which actually originated from Japan, but it's enjoyed throughout Asia and is a common street food in Korea. In Korea, they call it bungeoppang), but it's not your classic taiyaki; they used croissant batter, which makes them fluffier and crispier. They also have large grains of sugar on the surfaces :P
They come in three flavors: custard, sweet potato, and red bean. Custard was my favorite <3<3
This is the best bingsu (shaved ice) I've ever had. I like places where the shaved ice isn't ice, but tiny shaved bits of frozen sweetened milk. It's much more delicate, and it melts in the mouth nicely. We ordered the cheesecake, which has bits of cake and almonds sprinkled on top. I think there's also cheesecake whipped cream? The chunks of cheesecake are Asian-styled cheesecake, which is more cake than cheese (common cheesecakes have a creamy texture, but some Asian cheesecakes have a spongy texture). The metal bowl stayed cold, which slowed the melting process. When we got the bottom, it tasted like cereal milk. I love this place so much.
I revisited the Bubble Tea Shop, but we were too full to get bubble waffles. I got a simply lychee green tea with grass jelly. My rewards card is so empty, lol.
We also tried Well Tea for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed with their vegetarian menu. First, I wasn't expecting one since this was a Taiwanese restaurant (In Asia, meat is a delicacy, which is why they put it in everything). When I was reading the titles, they read "vegetarian chicken nuggets" and "vegetarian pork", so my first thought was that the translation of the dishes must be a bit inaccurate (common issue at Asian restaurants). Lol, I'm sorry, I have no faith in Asian restaurants when it comes to vegetarian stuff xD When I got my "chicken nuggets", they tasted way too similar to actual chicken, which freaked me out a bit. I was fine with eating it, since I didn't want to waste food, but Pseudo Korean asked the waitress whether the order was correct anyways. She said they were made with soybeans and then flavored like chicken. I was dumbfounded; the chicken flavor was waaaay too similar. I seriously thought I was eating the real thing guys. :O Well Tea, tell me your secrets, hire me. I'm definitely going back here because I'm very curious to see what the other vegetarian dishes taste like. I'm so glad I got this.
It was also too much food ($10), so I took half of it home, lol.
I've also heard their bubble tea was pretty on point here. I usually don't like taro bubble tea because many of them taste so artificial or too starchy. Psuedo Korean ordered one, and it was made with real taro. She also ordered it with grass jelly; I was thoroughly impressed. It wasn't too sweet, and the flavor wasn't too overwhelming. She also ordered tofu and pork, which is the bottom right photo. Fatmine got fish cakes (top right). Down at the bottom left, we accidentally received fried pork :O Oh well.
