My favorite is lychee (a Chinese fruit similar to a banana [I hear; of course I've only seen it frozen liquified] that tastes a little like green grapes in my opinion) with tapioca pearls. Mmmm!

NOOOOOOOOO, lychee is not similar to bananas. This is what lychee looks like [IMG]http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=lychee/v=2/SID=e/TID=I001_70/l=IVI/SIG=12c4ir0m2/EXP=1113772693/*-http%3A//chichissalsa.com/images/glossary/n/nut_lychee.jpg[/IMG]

Hey Jen if you want to get some good bubble tea in Sac, theres a place off Fair Oaks near Howe right next door to Club Dante (but on the other side of the fence) thats specializes in it called Tapioca Express. I suggest the snow bubble for your first time, and make sure you get the large tapioca balls and a big straw!

Oh I always see their sign in the middle of Fair Oaks in the center divide. I know where you are talking about I think. One of these days...

Oh... I sent you a PM about Greek Week stuff.

That seems like a very complicated fruit. I assume you eat the most inner part?

The inner most part is the seed, so no, you don't eat that. You eat the whitish part.

Bubble Tea sounds so yummy...I wish I knew where to get it in Indianapolis!

Yeah Bubble tea i sgreat. It is like a smoothie...made with fruit, water and milk. The only place i've seen it here in El Paso, is at this Vietnamese restaurant. One of the waitresses (who is Vietnamese) says that bubble tea originated in Vietnam. I've only had the Watermelon and the Strawberry, but whenever i go, i'mma try each one out! lol.

That's really interesting. I've always been told that it started in Taiwan. I wonder which one is right.
