Let Them Eat Cake: Some Sun, Some Kebabs & Some Boba

We made a plan - eat lunch & then hunt down the Boba Truck. I met up with my friend (let's call her Ms. Bacon) and her co-worker and another girlfriend (let's call her Ms. Funsize) for lunch this past Wednesday in Pasadena. Lucky for us the weather was BEAUTIFUL - sunny and a warm 80°F. We ate lunch at a small meditteranean lunch spot http://www.kokosmediterraneancafe.com/. As soon as you order your food is ready, they must have their foodprep down to a science for their turnaround to be so high. I had a lamb kebab plate (2 skewers of meat over rice pilaf, with sides of greek salad & hummus w/ one pita), Ms. Bacon had a kefta (meatball) kebab wrap and co-worker & Ms. Funsize had beef kebab plates. Everything was YUM~

Dessert was the Boba Truck. (So Cal started the gourmet food truck revolution and there's pretty much a food truck for almost any food...) Ms. Bacon knows the boss man of the Boba Truck so we decided to go check it out. Each drink is handcrafted to order so the strength of the tea and the overall sweetness of the drink is entirely customizable. I indulged in a Lychee Green Tea with mini boba. Ice cold tea drinks were the perfect accompaniment to the gorgeous albeit a bit warm weather... The truck was parked adjacent to Pasadena City Hall in front of a park whose focal point was this HUGE "talking" heads sculpture installation.
