CT Eats: Kung Fu, bubble tea that comes with a kick
I absolutely adored my honey milk tea. The honey flavor was spot on, strong, and easily identifiable without being overly sweet — I could easily drink the whole thing pleasantly without feeling that awful numbing, tongue-drying buildup of sweetness.

CT Eats: Sakura House’s food blossoms with flavor
One nice adjustment was making the individual wheels of negimaki perfectly bite-sized. Being able to eat the negimaki in one bite allowed for all the flavors to burst in your mouth at once.

The restaurant had a very welcoming aesthetic. Warm colors, plants, and tons of natural light made for a friendly, comfortable, inviting atmosphere — perfect for an impending food coma.

Cedar Mediterranean Restaurant (pita) pockets my dollar
$10 nabbed me a beautiful mix of roasted veggies, a little bit of cheese on top, my warm, doughy pita pocket, and a seltzer on the side to help bubble down this delicious Mediterranean feast.

CT Eats: Boulder Coffee, a little South Wedge cafe, rocks
Inside, the cafe is a dimly-lit hidey-hole with old-school TV sets, fluffy sofas, grandma’s favorite loveseats, and tons of table space to sit down and socialize at.

CT Eats: A tasty trip to Tsingtao House
It’s becoming a common trend in this column for me to eat Asian food on the weekly. Look man, I’m…
