Milk tea, chocolates and vodka shots.

Photo dumpin! (June 30-July 2)

001. For the love of milk tea! If you study, live or tambay in Taft (aka me) Im sure you’ve heard of Tea Central. Arveen would take me to all these random milk tea places (since I’ve been a lover of dairy mixed tea since 1st yr college days in UST) From all 3-4 milk tea places in Taft I’ve tried, this would be my favorite. Judging from flavors, authenticity, affordability & service (& hey, they’re not paying/sponsoring me to say this. I buy every day I’m in Taft. Besides, I don’t promote establishments if I don’t enjoy them!)

002. They have so many flavors/toppings! & I think they’re the first Tea place I’ve been to that has “ice cream tea” (like a milk tea float, ice cream on top) & other“gourmet” flavored milk teas. You can adjust the sweetness. The simplest teas they have (vanilla) which was my first, it was simple and yummyyy. But now Im into the Hazelnut Toffee. The really big one is around 90php only & the second best part of it is they have really nice service. Everyone is so nice! (Im being biased ‘cause the staff keeps telling me they love my hair/piercing + my boyfriend is “cute”) LOL. What’s THE best part? Since Taft (& other places) is implementing the no smoking shit in public (NEVER going to starbucks ever again) you can smoke here!! & check out the cute ash tray!!

003. Tea Central is located ‎at the 2nd floor D’ Students Place Taft Avenue (Starbucks at the 1st flr)

004. After my nakakalokang 8 hour Styling class yesterday, Arveen picked me up school and went to Chocolate Fire in Salcedo. It was literally 5 minutes away from SoFA. The corner of Leviste and Rufino in Makati. 

005. A plate full of chocolates (Dark & milk chocolates, dipped: strawberries, crunchy honey comb & pringles. Chocolate and coconut truffles, etc)

006. Tied in 1st place for my favorite chocolates were: dipped honey comb crunch & coconut truffles & my favorite sandwich: Mortadella (cold cut sausage, emmenthal, mozzarella, fresh basil, olives, sun dried tomatoes & romaine) 

HEALTHY PASTA!

007. Happy face! Thank you for taking photos, babe!

009. After a good indulgence in CF, we went straight to to 7th High. Arveen and his group, Heart Beat Box (HBB) were going to perform for Deconstruct (A UP college of Architecture party) Sound check: 

010. Those were really good seats! Thanks UP Architecture Forum & 7th high for the seats, shots & dinner!

011. You crazy UP people. Haha! DJ Gilette was really good, actually. I was pushing my boyfriend (who just looks like a bouncer beside me cause he wont dance) ‘cause there were girls behind me while they were performing who were hitting on him. Haha!! He’s so KJ he won’t dance with you girls! Hahahhaha.

012. Posting a video of their performance later. For the mean time, do me a favor and like their facebook page? Click here. & watch them on Youtube. Click here.
