Bored of Boba? Try Bambu Instead

If you’ve spent some time in California, you’ll likely know about the little shops where you can order boba teas and smoothies. But if you’re bored of boba, you can try Bambu instead. Bambu is an up-and-coming chain who serves Vietnamese che (dessert) and sweet beverages. Che has been around for quite a while in Vietnam, but it’s no stranger in California, as it can be created with a wide variety of fruits, jellies, and beans.

As you can see, my favorite che is the #3 — Awesome Trio — which features red, white, mung bean, taro, pandan jelly, and coconut milk. I’m no fan of coconut milk or alternative milk in general, but Bambu’s coconut milk is fairly tasty and doesn’t make me sick in the stomach. Great job, Bambu!

If you have a smaller appetite like myself, you’ll need an extra straw to scoop whatever’s left in your cup when you get home to relax and unwind. But seriously, it’s reasonably priced at less than five bucks per cup.

Give Bambu a chance and let me know what you think in the comments section.
