Yup, I have no idea how much extra it is to get a cloud. He let me choose what flavor to get him so I got a Mango Snow Bubble with a vanilla cotton candy cloud. I showed T a photo of the cotton candy cloud and he instantly wanted one. This was my favorite item here at Vanitea! It was nutty-ish and the macaron shell was light and chewy. The one macaron I got was the Black Sesame macaron. They have clear boba here instead of the dark round globs we are used to. He commented it didn’t really taste like horchata – more like a milk tea with some cinnamon in it. Jake was going to get the Taro (his standby favorite) and decided to try the Horchata instead. The flavor was good but in general I prefer regular old milk tea.
I still needed it to tone down on the sweetness level though so I’d definitely go with less sugar on that sucker. Thai tea is usually unbearably sweet for me, and this combination was a nice twist – it’s like Thai tea “lite”. The Tiger Milk Tea is a combination of Thai tea with regular Milk Tea. Silly me forgot to adjust the sweetness on our teas so they were both a tad too sweet for me.

If you check in on Yelp, you get free boba though. Boba is extra but I have no idea how much extra since the price isn’t listed and I didn’t get my receipt. I got the Tiger Milk Tea with Boba and Jake got the Horchata Milk Tea. Since I was already planning on other sweet things, I opted to try only one. The case of pretty macarons caught my eye. The Raindrop Cake was the item I was interested in trying. It’s near the “other” Mandarin restaurant (Mandarin Canton) but we prefer the one that’s across the street from Southwestern College. Vanitea Cafe is located off Telegraph Canyon Road. T wanted to treat his dad to dinner and after our meal I wanted to check out Vanitea Cafe for a little post-dinner dessert. Luckily for us Wong is launching Raindrop Cakes this weekend at Smorgasburg In Williamsburg, but other locations are a possibility they want to explore.Jake, T and I were down in the South Land (aka Chula Vista) having dinner at our favorite Mandarin Chinese Restaurant for Father’s Day. There are very few foods that engage this many senses at the same time, which is what attracted me to this dessert in the first place,” says Wong.
Third, the combination of textures and flavors goes together so well. Second, the texture is so unique it’s very delicate and fragile. It kind reminds me of that scene from A Bug’s Life where they drink water drops off of leaves. Related: THESE GORGEOUS FOOD COLLAGES ARE MADE OF SCRAPS
Peanut powder, honey and jellies are also potential toppings. While a raindrop that falls from the sky doesn’t typically taste like much of anything, the cake will be offered with toppings such as molasses to give it a sweet kick. The cake is made of agar, water from natural springs, black sugar syrup and roasted soy flour. Each cake has to be individually packed in a way that protects it from movement and temperature.” That was the second challenge I had to overcome. This makes the cake a nightmare to store and transport.
“The cake has to maintain its shape but still have the texture of water.

It took a lot of trial and error testing out different agars and gelatins to get the right consistency, says Wong.
