Items: umami toast, harmony bowl (base: acai, guava, matcha), guava matcha, and dew you love me (honeydew latte) +toast good as always +the bowl was a bit frozen so had to thaw it a little but it satisfied my acai bowl craving. Good base combo to try but matcha + acai is still my go to +matcha was on the sweet side but it was p good +the honeydew drink was so yummy it was like tastea’s honeydew milk tea + quality espresso

Orders: Berry matcha, sesame hojicha einspanner, matcha pistachio Ratings: +Berry matcha (8/10) - good matcha color and quality plus the strawberry cream tasted like strawberry melona +sesame hojicha einspanner (8/10) - it was a tad sweet so I should’ve ordered less sweet but sesame flavor gr8 and hojicha didn’t settle too much +matcha pistachio (7/10) - pretty yum and good matcha, I’m just not a huge pistachio lover

Orders: tom yum, beef kimchi, garlic crab Rankings: 1. Beef Kimchi (Mayum’s) - 8/10 // great textural variety, brisket cooked so well, gr8 flavor 2. Garlic Crab (Me) - 7.5/10 // flavor was good but def needed to add a lotta white pepper and texturally slightly challenging bc it was mostly one dimensional. Cleared it tho 🕺 3. Tom Yum (Kare+Jess’s) - 7/10 // good if you’re a coconut lover, I just pref spicy sour tom yum. There was a big baddie prawn in there tho
