I’m going to put this lingering cough to the ultimate test tonight, a movie in the theater! Because I’m feeling particularly daring, let’s make it The Quiet Place, the movie with subtitles. Due to the coughing, I tried to take it easier last week, but fewer shows seemed to translate into more time to run around trying varieties of cheese tea. My favorite, so far, is a place in Koreatown (Tan-Cha), but I had a cheddar cheese foam with Matcha tea and boba downtown that gets very high marks for its uniqueness in both flavor and cup design.
I foresee more boba on the horizon Monday night as I make the trek to The El Rey to see Sigrid with Cyn and Dean Lewis (what a lineup!) and will make a stop at Yuko Kitchen across the street pre-show. I also look forward to hearing everyone’s Coachella (or Coachella-adjacent stories!) this week.
