Honey Boba and Pa Pa Walk - SGV

San Gabriel  

My trip to SGV. We tried to go to Taza but they were closed so we ended up coming to honey boba.

menu

Lychee ice crystals with pudding (front) and Earl Grey black milk tea boba
I wanted to get smaller size but they told me I should get bigger size if I'm adding pudding and boba. No problems! I love pudding in my boba drink! That's what I always get.

After Honey boba, we decided to try Pa Pa Walk.
I had this place bookmarked for a while and I finally had a chance to eat here. This place was little difficult to find because there were no English sign and we can't read Chinese.
Well, I'm posting photo so it should be easier for you to find the place.

There were only one table open. We were very lucky.

I really wanted to try shaved ice but I was so full.

#55 - Cream soup in fried toast $6.95

I had to get this. Creamy chowder in thick buttery toast. Oh my god, it was sooo good. Who cares about the calories!? This is "A must" order item.

#44 - Taiwanese sausage and egg fried rice $7.75

City of Industry  

This place was so packed! But I can understand why. Because for only $7.50, you can put as much as toppings you want. Although they put kinda small portions of everything. Not only that, my pizza was ready when I got back from the bathroom! So fast!

It's pizza version of subway. You pick dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings.

My order

Here's my pizza

Free dessert pizza (cinnamon sugar strips) with yelp check-in. $2.50 value.
Too much sugar for us. It wasn't very good..

I was back to California Donuts for cronuts. I asked if they have bacon cronut. They didn't have it so they made fresh one for me. That was nice. I got two cronuts. Unfortunately, they were both too chewy and tough. When I tried to cut in half with knife, I couldn't cut it.

So many different cronuts

I tasted Strawberry lemonade. It was pretty good.

Donut snob donuts at G&B in Downtown

Donut snob donuts at G&B in Downtown

downtown LA  

Ok, Kettle Glazed is pretty good, but I love donut snob too. Donut snob is also my favorite.  Although I may stick with Kettle Glazed because I can get 3 donuts at Kettle Glazed and it will still be cheaper than buying one donut at G&B.

As long as I know, you can find them at G&B, Andante coffee roaster, and also Taza in Arcadia. It seems like you can get (about $1) cheaper at Taza.
