A fun place in Malden Center we just found

xiphiasLis is working from home today, so we went out to a buffet in Malden Center. Unfortunately, Fu Long's really disappointed us. We knew we were in trouble when we noticed that they now have tablecloths . . .
The buffet is one dollar more expensive -- and a full steam table smaller than it used to be. Ah, well. It was okay, but it wasn't the amazing buffet I remember.
However -- as we were walking from our parking space to the restaurant, we saw, RIGHT around the corner, a place advertising bubble tea in the window. As bubble tea is one of the things Lis loves, we went in after we finished lunch.
There were a half-dozen kids -- they looked Vietnamese or maybe Cambodian to me -- sitting around one table, with bubble teas and smoothies and so forth in front of them. There were flat-screen TVs on all the walls, playing Vietnamese music. I know it was Vietnamese, because it was karaoke -- the lyrics were on the screen.
It's a bubble-tea / karaoke teenage hangout spot. A karaoke cafe, rather than a karaoke bar. I feel like I'm a generation too old to hang out there, but for you young whippersnappers, maybe you want to check it out.
The tea is amazing. It's fresh-made stuff instead of the stuff from mixes like everywhere else we've had.
