Snacking in Chinatown

With Chinese New Year in the papers, I decided to head up to the North Austin Chinatown shopping center this past week. I wasn't the only one - the front end of MT Supermarket was even more crowded than usual, with lots of gawkers at the special New Year's sweets on display.

I also ducked into Short n' Sweet Cafe for a green milk bubble tea and some kind of very colorful rice & coconut dessert. I appreciated being able to choose unsweetened tea. The cafe also has ice cream, some candies/sweets in bulk, and a small selection of savory food.

Helpful hint: Children under 5 not suggest to eat.
