Passion Fruit and Taro Milk Tea with Boba, Garden Grove, CA 92844

Passion Fruit and Taro Milk Tea with Boba (Boba is the tapioca gummies which are added to the drink for more texture)

The passion fruit tea wasn't that good.  It had a wonderful flavor but too sour.  Perhaps, they didn't add enough surgar. I would give it a 2/5. Meanwhile the taro was excellent but I didn't care much for the boba. The tea was sweet and good while the boba was weird and squishy. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Tim Tam, Popular Australian Chocolate Biscuits (Available at Target)

Tim Tam, Australian Chocolate Biscuits (Available at Target)
The crunchy waffe like biscuit had a creamy taste. But I think it was a little to sweet. It might go well with a glass of milk.  I would give it a 4/5.

Gigantic Hot Fudge Brownie A La Mode, Norms, Orange, CA

Gigantic Hot Fudge Brownie A La Mode
Gigantic Brownie is for sharing.  Topped with the LA county fair award winning 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream, delicious hot fudge and whip cream.   The fudge was a bit thick and really warm. The brownie was good and moist but it had a interesting  aftertaste. The award winning vanilla ice cream helped because of the cold creamy taste.  I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Les Pyreneens, Paris, Farnce

Les Pyreneens
They are called Winter Chocolates which are available in France during Christmas Holidays.  My aunt from Paris brought them over.  The chocolates are milky and creamy. When you pop one in your mouth, it starts melting to satisfy your taste buds. However, it is not too sweet. I would give it a 4/5.


Mango Slush, 85C Bakery Cafe

Mango Slush
The mango slush was amazing. It had a fresh sweet taste. When you gulped it down cold, it has an arctic chilled feeling in your throat. I would give it a 4/5.  You can also add boba (tapioca gummies), lychee or mango jelly  for the explosion of taste but I decided to stick with the plain and original slush.

Oreo McFlurry, McDonald's, Placentia, CA

Oreo McFlurry
The Oreo Mcflurry was tasty but I thought maybe it was a bit to sweet. I felt as if there was too much Oreo cookie crumbs in it. I would give it a 4/5.

Eclaire, La Vie En Rose, Westminster, CA

Eclaire - The elcaire was dry, hard, and stale.  The filling was so sour. The chocolate icing was okay. Overall it deserved a 1.5 out of 5. Very disappointing. Hope that other desserts are new and fresh.

Banana Cake, Yummy Bakery and Restaurant, Westminster, CA

Banana Cake (Vietnamese Style) -  The banana cake was not really good.  The banana cake had absolutely no flavor. When I took a first bite, it had a weird texture.  I couldn't taste the bananas.  I would give it a 2/5.

Bánh da lợn (literally "pig skin" like cake) is a Vietnamese steamed layer cake made from tapioca starch, rice flour, mashed mung beans, coconut milk and/or water, and sugar.  The cake was really sweet and moist. The coconut milk enhanced the flavor and creamy.  However it was a bit sticky and gummy. I would give it a 4/5.

Passion Fruit and Chocolate Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt Combo - The chocolate cheesecake tasted a little bit weird. The passion fruit was tasty  and lemony. All and all I give the cheesecake a 3/5 and the passion fruit a 4/5. However, the selection of flavors was limited.  It was kinda disappointing :(
