COME WITH ME part 1: CHICAGO CHINATOWN 🧧

I had a fun day spending time in Chinatown! Sadly, I missed the Lunar New Year parade on Sunday, but I still wanted to dress up for the occasion a day later. My first stop was downstairs in the food court. I had a peach and strawberry smoothie with passion fruit popping bubbles (boba) from 岩茶Elitea (Elite Boba)🧋. For food, I ate soy sauce shortbread and pork dumpling buns. After lunch, I stumbled upon the dragon statues and lanterns displayed across the plaza. I purchased three new bead bracelets to add to my collection.
