#Hay Tea

[laptopcamper]

Hay Tea, 35284 Newark Blvd, Newark, CA 94560, Score: 39/50

Most milk tea shops in Fremont/Newark close early, and Hay Tea was one of the few that was open after 8 PM. Hay Tea seems fairly new. The grand opening sign is still up.

Score: 39/50

Food: 5/5 – They have egg puffs, popcorn chicken, fries, and even beef noodle soup. The egg puffs and popcorn chicken were really good!

Coffee: 5/5 – It’s a tea place. They don’t have any coffee drinks. They have milk tea, salted cheese tea, smoothies, Yakult drinks, fresh fruit tea, brewed tea, and slushes. The drinks come in two sizes. You can specify the sweetness level, ice level, and add-ins (e.g., boba, grass jelly, red bean, etc.).

Wi-fi: 5/5 – Free, unlimited, secure

Ambiance: 3/5 – It’s decent, lots of empty space but looks newish inside, very brown though

Noise: 2/5 – Loud Chinese pop music

Plugs: 4/5 – Outlets near the large elevated tables

Parking: 5/5 – Easy parking in a lot

Comfort: 3/5 – Mostly larger tables, chairs aren’t padded

They also have a rewards program. Order at the register or at the kiosk. You’ll get a number and they’ll call your number when your order is ready.

Hay Tea, 35284 Newark Blvd, Newark, CA 94560

With so many milk tea places around, I’ve been experiencing milk tea fatigue. However, most milk tea shops in Fremont/Newark close early, and Hay Tea was one of the few that was open after 8 PM. Hay Tea seems fairly new. The grand opening sign is still up.

I really like what I’ve had so far and it was good to see that they use real fruit in their drinks. I could see mangos and other chopped fruit. They have milk tea, salted cheese tea, smoothies, Yakult drinks, fresh fruit tea, brewed tea, and slushes. The drinks come in two sizes. You can specify the sweetness level, ice level, and add-ins (e.g., boba, grass jelly, red bean, etc.). Plus, they have a food menu with the usual fried snacks (popcorn chicken, fries) but also egg puffs, beef noodle soup, and more.

Happy hour is Monday – Friday from 7 PM – 10 PM. When you order a drink during happy hour, they’ll give you another drink free – but there are only a few kinds of free drinks to choose from.

Fresh mango coconut milk purple rice drink ($5.50, 0% sweetness): coconut milk with pieces of ripe mango, purple rice. The purple rice wasn’t as chewy as Yomie’s used to be but the drink was very good. It tasted like coconut milk with bits of sweet mango and nutty rice.

Hong Kong milk tea (0% sweetness): very good, does taste like HK milk tea (stronger tea flavor) and the milk adds enough sweetness for me

Hey lemon tea (0% sweetness): This was free. It’s made with fresh lemon. I drank it the next day. The lemon rind and lack of sugar made it bitter. Probably wouldn’t get again. Might be less bitter if fresh?

Egg puffs with red bean ($8.25): the red beans are sweetened so the waffle was sweeter than usual but the puffs were well formed, soft in the middle with crispy bits in between. Really good egg puffs!

Popcorn chicken ($9.50): Big pieces of boneless, skinless chicken, seasoned. The batter is crunchy. Spotted a little basil. Served piping hot - juicy and tasty. Wanted more basil though. A bit crunchier than average.

The décor is cutesy with a light up boba cup. They just changed the loyalty program - it's not free but you pay $9.99 for a card.

I might try camping here.

In Far Cry 6, one of the first things Dani Rojas does is help light up their friend Alejo's cigarette. They do this again in the first act of the game for Camila "La Espada" Montero. Both times Dani silently helps light the cigarette but of their own accord.

The Hays Code, a set of guidelines and rules enforced in Hollywood in the 1930s, was created to prevent depictions of sexual perversion, violence and other immoral acts on movies. One of the rules enforced disallowed kissing for more than 3 seconds, and any shot of a man and woman in bed together. While some directors manage to work around it cleverly by breaking the kisses, others find that letting two characters smoke together or simply lighting each other's cigarette was enough to insinuate that the characters were sexually involved with each other. Characters can touch each other lightly during lighting a cigarette, they lean in, it involves lips and tongue, it could even look phallic, the sky was the limit at making a cigarette feel sexually charged. The implication stuck even to this day.

We can then conclude that Dani Rojas lighting a friend's cigarette, one being a man and one being a woman as at MOST an indication they are bisexual and at LEAST a direct shot at them being a people pleaser. In this essay, I will--

SonAmy + Sick

Sonic's got a great immune system, but in the rare occasions he gets sick, Amy is fully there to care for him! She'll make him delicious soups and helps put all sorts of blankets and pillows on his bed, so he can hang out there and recover comfortably. And she'll gladly go to the library to get him some new books he can read until he's better!
