Had CHAI TEA after 2 years!!

Just a few hours ago, after 2 years, for the first time I had my chai tea, in my very own house! It was refreshing!

This is how it happened. My house had a gathering to celebrate my housemate's mother's birthday. They are from Thailand, so all guests were Thais exclusively. The mother cooked all the nice entree's for the night, which I couldn't eat but that was not a problem for me. Jesse, my friend, a close-knit to the Somprasong (my housemate's family name) helped with the preparation. So she asked me to try the tea that they made; IT WAS AWESOME!!

It was really good. Today was the seventh day of Ramadhan, and I was so happy that I finally found something to remind me of my hometown.

Those of you who don't know what chai tea is, basically it is a mix of tea and milk. At my hometown, I use concentrated milk to mix it with tea. The popular version is called "teh tarik" in Malaysia, or in direct translation it becomes "pulled tea." Amazing~
