Out & About #232 | Partial May Visuals

5/12/2016

 
May marks the first month of my gradual ease into laziness. (I mean, can you blame me?! 5 am mornings were considerably rough to be honest.)

Along with shifting my schedule according to PST hours, I've also been investing a significant amount of time at home, gorging on snacks at odd hours of the day. I've accumulated enough shots throughout these two weeks, and am now presenting my results in the form of a partial visuals entry. Enjoy!

3. Real Fruit Bubble Tea (Oakville Place)

I've found myself making more frequent trips to Oakville nowadays, for reasons that may be revealed at a later date. I stopped by Oakville Place one fateful afternoon in hopes to executing a plan of retail therapy. Unfortunately, majority of the mall was under renovation: barrels had been placed surrounding sections of unstable ground and several of the escalators weren't in operation.
The two-floor shopping centre was eerily quiet, considering that the time of day, but also provided significant relief from the traffic I've been accustomed to witnessing at Square One.

I completed a swift round through the entire mall in under half an hour, concluding my trip at Real Fruit Bubble Tea since it was located directly beside the entrance from which I had come. The decor was somewhat rustic, with old-fashioned wall decor, mounted wooden crates, and an ordering counter crafted with the intention of yielding the appearance of pressed wood pulp. The chairs and tables had been constructed in a similar manner.
It was a rare, unconventional setup - perhaps to pay tribute to crates of mangoes sold in tropical countries? They also had a sign that stated the availability of Wi-Fi, but neither store attendant knew the network name nor password when I inquired about this.

As with other bubble tea joints though, the menu was largely powder-based. I took to asking about their three most popular items, one of them being the Mango Diamond Slush. For a beverage concocted mainly from ice and mango-flavoured syrup (and with a few chunks of real mango), the small was fairly pricey at $3.99. Each size upgrade would induce an additional charge of one dollar. Yikes.​

Admittedly, the drink was much better than expected, as if they had purposely held back on the amount of sugar syrup to prevent the flavour from reaching a point of exaggerated sweetness. It's likely that I'll return to try more of their drinks if I happen to find myself in the area once again, as any other Real Fruit Bubble Tea location in Mississauga is a ways away from my house.
