Tea Do - Foodgasm Diaries
Welcome Back to My Love Affair with Food
How are you all? I am slowly making way back.
So for those of you that weren't following me before, I have a number of categories I grade. Also, I grade them in foodgasms.
No offense to those that know, but what is a foodgasm?
This is what occurs when you are eating a particularly enticing food. You get so excited to eat it you practically orgasm, thus resulting in a foodgasm. Some instances of this may include:
1. Becoming weak in the knees
2. Eyes rolling back in head and moaning while possibly shouting "this is so fucking good!!"
3. Taste so overwhelming you have to take breaks between bites to keep from shutting your system down. The smooth taste and texture of the turkey swiss Potbelly sandwich was enough for Ronny to have multiple foodgasms.
So now that we got that out of the way. There is always someone that certain things are new to. Those that have gone on a foodie date with me have witnessed me in a foodgasm. It is pretty much a sexual experience/reaction with food. There is food to sustain me and there is food to satisfy me. Sometimes, they are one in the same.
A food venue can earn up to five foodgasms per category.
Categories of Grading:
1. Location - is it easy to find and is the area safe;
2. Menu - how easy is it to navigate? Is easy to pick what you want? I don't like over complicated menus, where it takes me 45 minutes to make a decision.
3. Customer Service - do I really need to explain?
4. Appearance - does it look appealing or even sexy?
5. Smell - Now many times I can begin a foodgasm smelling my food.
6. Taste - For me can I get a sense of the different levels in each bite. And does the taste change with each bite.
7. The Venue - the reason the Venue is different from location, you can get inside and feel like are in a different location than watch is outside.
8. Price - Is it worth the asking? I don't care about affordability as much as is it worth what I am paying.
Normally, I don't include delivery because there are some many of my preferred categories. That is normally. Today isn't going to be normal.
Today for lunch, I ordered delivery from Tea Do. I ordered for the venue at 39th and Sansom. I never heard of the place before today. I found it on DoorDash. Although, when I saw how close it was I could have walked. The map has it in Hamilton Court. It appears it does all it's delivery via a normal channels. It appears to be a chain with the first to have opened on Spring Garden Street, a place called KenShin Diner. I have never been or heard it.
What motivated me to order was I saw bubble tea. Yeah, how simple is that. But there was something about this that moved my soul. Although, with the bubble tea I had a fried fish balls and shu mai (they call it a shrimp dumpling, but it puts me in mind of a shrimp toast).
Everything was just so dayum fresh.
Fresh and refreshing. I could taste everything. While they were small in serving, they were big in taste. I know I am going to order again.
The Bubble Tea:
Large
Aloe Vera
Green Tea Jelly
Lychee Jelly
Passion Fruit Pop
Tapioca Pearl
I added pictures of everything.
Now for the score:
Location: Unfortunately, I can not give a score for this because it was delivery. Yet the neighbor around it's location is comparable to the surrounding area.
Menu: Now I will grade the menu. I give it a five foodgasms. Sometimes these food venues just add too much to there delivery menus. I can be indecisive enough. I wonder what the menu is like when you go into the venue.
Customer Service: I can not give a grade for this either, because is was delivered by a third party.
Appearance: Because it was take out, how the food travels in it's containers is important to appeal. As you can see nothing was lost in transit. So I will give it a five foodgasms.
Smell: I give this a five foodgasms. The fish/seafood wasn't overwhelming and my bubble tea was well mixed.
Taste: I give it a four foodgasms. I did not quite roll my eyes but it made me pause.
Venue: I can't give any points because it was a delivery.
Price: I will give four and a half foodgasms. I did this because while the meal was affordable, it might even be more affordable had I gone to the venue and not gotten it through one of the delivery apps.
So the of ALL Score is 23.5
I am going to have to make an actually visit, so I can get the full service feel. This can make a difference in the other scores. I still intend of eating from here again.
