Che-Licious an interesting Bubble Tea alternative

Click to add a blog post for Che-licious on Zomato Chè-Licious offers an interesting alternative to Bubble Tea, generally involving more asian fruit ingredients; and is less artificially sweet. The multi-ingredient suggested combinations typically use coconut milk or coconut juice, which are good for you. On the napkin holders at the tables, the benefits of some of the ingredients such as BASIL SEEDS (which look like frog eggs!) and lychee are listed. Available ingredients include: Agar Jelly, Aloe Vera, Basil Seed, Coconut Milk, Coconut Water, Durian, Grass Jelly, Jackfruit, Longan, Lychee, Lychee Jelly, Mango Jelly, Mung Beans, Palm Seed, Pandan Jelly, Pom Pearls, Red Beans, Tapioca Pearls.

Price is higher than bubble tea (typically just over $6)  but considering the numerous and exotic ingredients, it's not bad. You can also build your own to get a cheaper drink with less ingredients. And when compared to non-alcoholic drinks at a restaurant weighing in at possibly $6-$7, this is way more interesting and delicious. Bahn Mi (vietnamese sub) and snacks and "icy bun" (bread with ice cream and a topping) is also available.

The décor is quite interesting, with a tropical-ish feel and curious apple lamps with 3 spotlights. Also worth a look at is the sink in the washroom, which looks like a leaf and has an interesting tap handle.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

How much candy can you bring to America

I have a friend in the US who used to live in Canada -- so she's noticed that some things taste differently. Such as Twizzlers . And she likes Canadian Twizzlers better. So I inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as to how much I could bring: I am visiting a friend in San Francisco later this year. She wants Twizzlers -- she says the same product in the US tastes differently from those in Canada. How much am I allowed to bring into the US for her? I don't go to the US regularly and she doesn't come to Canada regularly, so I was thinking of getting her more than just a couple of bags. Here is their initial reply: You can bring the candy to the US, and there is no set limit on the amount. All you have to do is declare the food to a CBP officer at the border or airport.
