Tasty, High QualiTEAS from Mimimo Bakery (Ig:@ mimimo_ja) located in Progressive Shopping Center, Barbican serving you Boba, Milk, Thai Teas and more.
Of course, my fave is the Matcha Milk Tea with Boba.
You can add your own toppings + add one of their yummy Desserts that move fast! I really wanted to try the Matcha Swiss Roll, but didn’t mind settling for the Mocha Cream Cheese Cake that was delish too.
What is Bubble Tea or BOBA anyway?! Tapioca starch a.k.a cassava starch or tapioca pearls. Small spheres are often simmered in a brown sugar syrup to give them a sweet taste and dark black color.
Still waiting on Mimimo to get Almond or Oat Milk and it would be awesome for them to get the VisuEats App to see what all these Teas look like! Go check them out.

1. HYDRATE Long hours in the sun + drinking alcohol will dehydrate you. Skip the sugary, sports drinks and drink a lot of water/try chasing or alternating alcoholic beverages with coconut water. You can add pedialite to your water too!
2. USE SUNSCREEN, WEAR SUNGLASSES &/ VISORS/HATS Protect your skin with SPF 30 (light skinned), 50 or higher (melanin poppin’). Don’t forget to reapply regularly. The sun can damage your eyes too, so protect them
3. DON’T FORGET HAND SANITIZERS/WIPES Even before Covid…Port-a-potties are gross, buying from vendors who may not sanitize is gross… Please still have your sanitizers handy to keep your hands as clean & as germ-free as possible.
4. EAT HEALTHY WHEN YOU CAN Late nights and long days make it easy to resort to fast food/junk food Stock up on protein-filled snacks like low-fat & low-sugar protein bars and nuts. Make your Turkey/Tuna sandwiches, pre-cook/slow cook dinner, so it’s ready when you get home.
5. SLEEP Prevent a breakdown on your immune system to avoid getting run down and sick
***BONUS TIP*** STRETCH ! Stretch and hydrate before the road march to avoid cramping and dead legs. You did not prep for this day to ride out Carnival in an ambulance or on the truck. See You on the Road! ***************************

START THE DAY RIGHT You may not be in control of lunch or dinner, but control what you eat when you wake up! Make it rich with Protein, Fibre and Energy. Try a giant Green Smoothie, fruit-based Protein Shake, a Spinach Omelette or hard boiled Eggs!
STOCK UP ON HEALTHY SNACKS The Supermarkets and Pharmacies near you may be closed. Stock up with Fruits and Veggies. Have Fruits as a snack or make a fresh Salad.
PLAN EXERCISE WITH A LOVED ONE Go for a Power Walk or Jog. If it’s a group of you, play a little scrimmage, go for a swim, try morning Yoga, whatever the vibe !
DRINK A LOT OF WATER. FLAVOUR IT! Add Cucumber and Lemon slices in your glass of water for a clean, refreshing taste. Have before each meal so that feel fuller for longer.
DON’T DEPRIVE YOURSELF, BUT SET LIMITS Have Dark Chocolate instead of white or milk. Take note and follow serving suggestions. Have 1-2 glasses of alcohol, preferably Wine. Peep Monster? Love yuh Bun & Cheese? Have after you’ve filled up on veggies & protein and eat slowly! Savour each bite.
***BONUS TIP***
GET REST! SLEEP!

You should know or get to know your body and patterns, how you feel when you eat certain foods.
? HEADACHES Possibly due to high Sodium and Dairy
?ACNE Bad carbs and NOT Grease, trigger Acne, such as carb-heavy fast foods like french fries, potato chips, hamburger buns, which may lead to acne breakouts
?HIGH CHOLESTEROL Usually a result of consuming foods with a lot of trans fat, that is, deeply fried foods.
?HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Due to fast foods high in sodium Watch out for canned foods too! No need to add salt when seasoning! The mixed seasonings usually already contain salt. Read the labels.
?DEPRESSION Processed foods and fast foods may increase your risk for depression.
***BONUS TIP*** ?BLOOD SUGAR SPIKE Due to empty carbs like fast foods (main culprit!), white bread, plain pastas etc.

A Renewed Regency Bar and Lounge (Ig: @regencybarandlounge)? YES Please! I’d love to see all the ladies return to Regency in 3s and 4s in their LBDs and the Gentlemen dressing their best.
Endless Cocktails have returned Every Friday 5pm – 10pm and the NEW NEW Menu is FIRE.
Check out highlights from Regency Bar and Lounge’s New Menu Launch here:
Crowd fave Cocktails at the New Menu Launch last Tuesday were the Elderflower Martini and Melon Surprise pictured with me on this cover.
If Rum Cream is your thing, feel free to get Drunk In Love, but it’s Bittersweet for Campari lovers. White Rum? Is it a Martini? No, it’s an uncoventional Rum Fire based Classic Daiquiri. That will do it. I liked it! The white rum was not overpowering at all. There are more to come today too!
Oh and fret not, with Endless Cocktails you are encouraged to Drink Responsibly. The New Menu items with tasty Apps and Dinner dishes made with love will soak it all up.
Best Broccoli I’ve ever had due to a tasty vinaigrette and a crispy cashew crunch. The Surf & Turf and Chicken Sliders and both the Lobster and Chicken Bruschettas were highlights for me, bringing the right amount of spice. Those slider buns were soft and fresh and the meat was tender and well seasoned. #SugaSnaps
The Shrimp Penne can’t lose with the Pasta lovers and of course, their Signature Lobster Mac-n-Cheese is back to call your name with a little more love. So creamy!
Curry Goat Rice Balls ?! Different, but Delish.and the Chocolate Mousse Cake was definitely worth the calories.
Go check out Regency Bar and Lounge & have a Great Weekend! Cheers! ***Making a Reservation is advised*** #SugaEndorsed
