This tea is Lennon, other teas are Yoko ONO
Other teas are Imagine Dragons, this is BONO
Right next to MSU, so watch out for MONO
Don't drink Buffalo water, you'll get HASHIMOTO
Hope it doesn't disappear like brains and the DODO
Hope it doesn't rebrand with a poop in the LOGO
Hope it doesn't start selling hot coffee and COCOA
Hope that when I'm here, I run into Ice and COCO
Hope they let me watch him put his Marco in her POLO
Hope that Trump doesn't try to kill CUOMO
Hope that hipsters don't try to imitate Perry COMO
Tastes so good I have to drink it in SLOMO
I pick the tea here like the Giants picked off ROMO
If you went without me then I would get FOMO
If this Boba were a boy then I would be a HOMO
The best Boba in the Great Lakes is at MOMO!
WHAT!
Best Boba in the Great Lakes. One of the best in the USA.
I had low expectations because my first 3 Boba stops in Lansing were mediocre or awful, but I felt something different when I walked into Momo (and no, it wasn't just my pee-pee straining to get out of my Levi's).
I could tell, these was really good peoples. Genuine, warm, welcoming. Menu seemed authentic. Maybe they actually cared about their bubble tea? Sometimes the best people care more about the legitimacy and taste of their products. And so it went.
What a shock to find I had wandered into not only the best bubble tea in Lansing/Ann Arbor, the best in Michigan. But the best bubble tea shop in the entire Great Lakes region. Better than any in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, you name it.
What makes the products here so great? Taste. Every sip is heaven. They make it right - as in Taiwan, the home of Boba Tea. This is the real thing. What's more, it's a local business. No other Momos. Other than Mo Salah, running down the wing as ever.
Avoid Bubble Island, try KFT (international chain) as it rocks, but do not miss the best in town, the locally-owned Momo, with some of the best tasting natural fresh delicious perfectly-crafted bubble teas you will ever have in your life.
The original milk tea tastes smooth, creamy, dreamy, andthe tapioca soaked in honey makes for one of the most delicious milk tea drinks you'll have. The fresh fruit teas are made with real fruit and they come out tasting perfect. When you add the tapioca it pumps up the sweetness level to exactly where I want it. I had Lemon - excellent, and Apple - yum. For both I substituted black tea for green tea because it's simply better. Many prefer Green Tea. Have you tried it my way? Even for drinks where there's no black tea option - go off menu like a boss.
I'm also very grateful for how wonderful the people are here. The girl really liked me, we talked about everything (literally everything, I learned a lot about Chinese stock market fluctuations, or should I say, fluctu-asians). She complimented my physique, I repeatedly complimented her tea. She had friends over, all playing a Chinese domino game which I'd never seen before. It's complicated. But they were so fast! I was impressed. I wish I knew how to play, but all I know how to do is sing in bathrooms and flex my muscles and dip my high heels in bubble tea because my evil Barbie told me to.
Oh and decor. Damn this has everything doesn't it? The lovely big cuddly bear, the really comfortable seats. Feels and smells new, relaxing and perfect. Lighting excellent. I honestly could not like it any more. The only major problem is that it's not busy. It's a crime that anybody would get Boba anywhere else in Lansing. And even though KFT (chain) has great drinks, you should be coming here more often than not. Try it - your taste buds will agree.
So this discovery made my Lansing tour 10 times better, and glad I spent a whole day in town, without which I would not have found Momo. Nor one of the best Middle Eastern meals I've had anywhere (Choupli) and a great Brisket Banh Mi (Capital City BBQ). So all in all Lansing was a massive success (like Kalamazoo), and thanks to Momo it will be immortalized in my memory, and hold a very special place in my heart.
So if you come from the POCONOS
Or closer to HOME, YO
If you work at a SUNOCO
Or for the fascist POPO
Stay and hear my FLOW FLOW
About the drinks at MOMO
Bring your sis and BRO BRO
And I'll hold the line like TOTO
Now I've got to GO GO
My backyard needs a MOW MOW
Then Barbie wants it SLO SLO
Because she's a nymPHO PHO
And I'd never say NO NO
I go down like a YOYO
Because I'm such a HO HO
And also because YOLO
I'm the K-Ci to her JOJO
And she's my favourite PRO PRO
But keep this on the LOW LOW
Lest the rumours GROW GROW
Sad she's not in the PHOTO
Not a fake nail, nor TOE TOE
But if you go to MOMO
Wake me up before you GO-GO
