Bubble Battle

Check out Red Mango, a cool new chain that sells yogurt in these cute wall machines that look like Japanese pachinko (machines)-also-they have BURSTING bubble tea (strawberry & mango flavor "bubbles" that burst). What's funny is I was teaching the staff at this new franchise how to make a bubble shake!

M & H...Bubbles

This post is for my darling Keiara who, I hope in a wee few months, I will see in Folkestone. I also hope she got her Valentine inspired regalo. No-I'm not drinking 2 bubble teas, but my fave Chai smoothie w/black bubbles. For those unfamiliar with bubble tea, the "bubbles" are actually black or multi-colored tapioca pearls (well....not your typical tapioca pudding pearls either-these are gigantic-check out the straw). I'm at M & H Cafe in Davie, Broward County (FL) where there is pretty tasty array of lunch wraps & panini (yogurt too-but who wants to eat yogurt at a restaurant really????????????). The chicken/swiss/avocado panini works for me, but not the Southwest wrap, which has live/giant garbanzos, which everyone knows are only delicious once pureed into hummus.

This is of course, just a 2012 follow-up on M & H Cafe, following discovery last year (it's first year, despite its fantastic location across from a very-busy university, was not very promising). Shall we look to 2013? My prediction, the bubble tea craze is just beginning.........
