Thang Coffee & Bubble Tea, Once More

Just wanted to say "thank you" to everyone who cleared up my question (via post comments and email) on Peking Duck buns/crepes matter. I grew up eating it with buns in Hawai'i and naturally/wrongly assumed that buns were the "traditional" style. Goes to show you just how much I have to learn :)

But one thing I do know for certain is where to find the best fruit smoothie in the city. Thang's. The avocado smoothie is perhaps my single favourite drink on the island. There's no need to post much more on it because I've already done so here, here, here, and here. Any more would only be repetitive.

On your first visit you must get an avocado smoothie, and then, and only then, are you allowed to branch out to other flavours.

Flavours such as Soursop...

...and Durian. That's my aunt Sylvia who was visiting from San Francisco. I stayed with her and my uncle in San Gabriel one summer and I credit them for teaching and leading me to all the good Vietnamese restaurants in LA. (P.S. If you live in LA, the Durian and Avocado Smoothie at Mr. Baguette are just swell).

My younger sister and cousins stick with the Thai Tea Shake. Pictured above is Victor, the cousin the one I thank for endless car rides here and there. Victor drives, and I direct us to delicious destinations, so it works out rather nicely.

As far as food establishments are concerned, I like to order something different every time. Curiosity naturally drives one to do so. However Thang's is one of those rare places where there is only one item I desire: the avocado smoothie. When I come here there is no dilly dally. There is no indecision. There is only avocado smoothie. Thank god for that ^_^
