An Afternoon of Zen...tea

I was finally able to visit Zentea along Mother Ignacia over the weekend. Thankfully, traffic along EDSA was not so horrible that it took us less than an hour to get there.


I've tried several milk tea places before so I wasn't really expecting much with regard to how different Zentea tastes compared to the others.

I started with the Autumn Tea which, I was told, was one of their bestsellers. I found it tastier and better unlike some of the others I've tried which tasted a bit watered-down and bland.

Having enough milk and jello to last me a week, I decided to switch to their green tea offerings and chose 3Berries (strawberry, blueberry and grape).

I loved this tea. It was refreshing, light and it reminded me of the fresh iced tea that I normally got at the Salcedo Market. If, like me,  you don't like your drink that sweet, you can always request for the guys to add less syrup.

Was also able to try another one of their green tea bestsellers called Sunshine. If I remember correctly, this had ginger, calamansi and honey. This was also really good. Don't be turned off by the ginger since they only put a hint of it so the taste is not really overpowering.

Aside from their teas being reasonably-priced (slightly cheaper than the others), another thing I like about Zentea Mo. Ignacia is the fact that the store is really cozy. It's a place where you feel like hanging out with your friends for some chit-chat over a cup of milk tea.

My take on Stonehenge. The design on this changes daily
as customers love playing with it. It's so Zen!

If you're in the area, drop by their store located at the Mo. Ignacia Food Court just across ABS-CBN. They also deliver to buildings nearby for a minimum purchase.

Wandering Flipflops is finally a Mac user

Remember that post of mine about my mid-year wish list? I wanted to buy a Macbook but I don't think that's going to happen anymore. Why? Because, I got a Macbook Pro instead! Heehee.

Introducing my new toy, Kylie!

Specs:
  • 2.3GHz dual core
  • Intel Core i5
  • 4GB 1333 MHz
  • 320GB 5400 rpm

Non-techie review: It's super cool!!!!!  Very easy to use. Unlike the PC, the Mac doesn't save a lot of garbage when installing files. And I like the fact that there are a lot of trackpad shortcuts using 1, 2, 3 and even 4 fingers! Pretty much like the dance moves of my friend, Unsubcultured :)




Wandering Flipflop's Upgrade to a Macbook Pro


Been really happy with it so far. Don't know why I didn't switch sooner. As some friends have said, "once you go Mac, you never go back"!
