Tea Time with Catherine Chan

A while back, I had the chance to take Catherine's workout class at CORE40 Studios. Catherine is a full-time HR professional and a part-time Lagree instructor. If you're not familiar with Lagree, Lagree is a full body conditioning method that utilizes reformer machines to provide a safe and effective workout.

Catherine is a great example of a side-hustler who turner her hobby and passion into a side-gig. She's an amazing instructor and I had a lot of fun in her class! As a new student, it was pretty intimating; but Catherine was very patient with me and made sure I was doing the exercises correctly.


I'm very excited to have Catherine here to share her story on Wongevitea's Tea Time Series!

Boba Blog - Little Sweet - Geary & 2nd



I'm going to be honest, the only reasons why I ended up at Little Sweet was because I was waiting for my pizza next door at Nizarios and I saw a sign for 20% off all drinks.

Ratchet Recipes: Kumquat Tea

So after two consecutive dinners of hot pot, I think it's time to do a little bit of detox so I can drop the kids off at the pool.

If you like to cook raw meat in boiling spicy broth, but dread the "Hotpot Hangover," keep reading for my Kumquat Tea recipe.

Authentic HK Style Milk Tea - Ovo Cafe - 2nd & Mission

When I interned in Hong Kong during my junior year of college, my company put me up in a great apartment in North Point across an MTR station. On my first day, I started the morning off with a cup of Hong Kong Style Milk Tea (HKMT) from the tiny cafe next to the station and it became a ritual for the rest of my internship. The only time I ever skipped my morning milk tea was during a level 8 typhoon.

Boba Blog - Boba Guys - Stockton and Sutter




Boba Guys have one of the most aesthetically beautiful milk tea shops in the city. Here is a picture of the interiors I took from their website - it actually looks like this in person. 



But we're not here to talk about store design, it's all about the boba.
