Back in June and July, I was lucky enough to have met up with Nancy! We hit up two new places – Neighbor’s Tea House and The Pond.
Neighbor’s Tea House
We had originally planned to have dinner together; however, my parents decided to have dinner at the last minute so Nancy improvised and we ended up at this little teahouse in Rosemead. I got their taro milk tea (my go-to drink everywhere, anywhere) and their grilled cheese sandwich. Their products were priced well and they offered a little Instagram wall for your drinks. Downside – the parking lot was very small and they only accepted cash. After catching up, Nancy and I made a quick stop to Daiso where she convinced me to buy every page flag we walked past by!
The Pond
Soooo, I was stoked for this place. My brothers had been to this little ice cream shop a while back and I wanted desperately to try out their charcoal cone (yes, I’m that kind of person). Their ice cream wasn’t too bad but my gut suffered for the next few days – made for an interesting story, I suppose. Like the tea house, they also offered a wall for Instagram photos.

August 22, 2018 at 12:56 PMHaha, I love that both these places had an ‘Instagram wall’ – that’s so interesting and funny! I haven’t seen anything like that around here. Sounds like you found some lovely places to go. The ice-cream does look interesting – it’s a shame you suffered though 🙁 thanks for sharing!

August 22, 2018 at 1:05 PMWow, the pictures look great!! The charcoal cone looks very interesting, not sure how I would like it though haha! And I definitely would love to try taro milk tea, I’ve never had that before. I have had a taro doughnut once in Hawaii, though, and that was amazinggg, so I’ll gladly try anything with taro now 🙂
Lovely post!

August 23, 2018 at 1:59 PMOne of the things on my summer bucket list was to try out a crazy cone of ice-cream with many many toppings. Looks like you could cross that one of your list. Looks yummy!

August 30, 2018 at 9:15 AMYou and Nancy both always seem to go to the coolest places. I’m jealous! That ice cream looks delicious! I don’t eat it much because it also doesn’t always sit well with my stomach. I’m curious about those charcoal cones though.
