Out & About #81 | Mid-Exam Visuals

4/21/2015

 
Firstly, please excuse the lack of visuals appearing on this page in the past two weeks - exams had temporarily taken over my life until the last week of April.

To ease myself back into the blogging-posting groove, here are some snaps from the very few times I exited my house in between cram periods. (And yes, this post is going back in time - don't you just love being able to schedule posts?)

A while back, I happened to be in Hamilton for an interview. As opposed to returning back home to an empty fridge after finishing around 1:15 pm, the more practical solution to appease our stomachs was to drop by Starbucks on Locke Street to refuel. (I also happened to have two unused rewards on my card, so the Veggie & Monterey Jack Artisan Sandwich and Chicken Salad & Brie Wrap below were able to be consumed at no cost. Might I also add that the cheese pull from the Monterey Jack was quite a sight to lay eyes on.)

The weather happened to be absolutely gorgeous that day, and it was a shame I didn't have the time to browse the area more leisurely after finishing lunch.
If you've been following this space frequently enough, you'd notice that bubble tea runs are pretty much essential in my world. It also doesn't help that Chatime is conveniently located on the way home from Square One, and is a slightly less pricey fix than Green Grotto.

Unfortunately, the quality of their drinks has been rather variable as of late. The speed and service has been quite constant (it's the same minimal amount of smiling from the girl at the cashier and approximate 3-minute wait), but the drinks have definitely rolled downhill a little. I had been convinced to give them more chances after an astounding cup of QQ Milk Tea, but I'm going to have to rethink this again if the drinks are repetitively sad in nature.
That being said, this time around I didn't get a milk tea. (To be quite frank, I had wanted to try the Milk Tea Smoothie pictured on the promo stand, but I had been told that it was a limited edition drink and was no longer offered.) I picked up a Lychee Black Tea with Coconut Jelly and a QQ Grapefruit Juice instead.

On another occasion, I had make a lunch run to Kenzo, so I stopped by Chatime once again. This time around, I picked up a Wintermelon Milk Tea to accompany my Katsudon lunch bowl. Truthfully, the taste was rather typical, and didn't possess the slightly roasted taste I had been looking for.
My Katsudon, on the other hand, was amazing, and proved to be much more satisfying than any donburi I've ever had at Sushi Tei. (The only downside is that Kenzo happens to be much pricier...)

Remaining visuals include homemade consumables such as Spinach and Mozzarella Toast, Taro Slush, Oreo Slush, Green Tea Slush, and more.
