"As an Asian-American, boba is naturally part of my diet. The problem for me is that most boba drinks are dairy-based. Mary and David Dao, the Vietnamese-American co-owners of Soy Good in Garden Grove, are looking to change that. Soy Good was originally called Soy HV to pay homage to Mary’s parent’s tofu shop, Hung Vuong, but has since rebranded. They wanted to introduce soy-based products and healthier options to the current generation. Widely popular for their boba drinks, they also serve fried green onion and mushroom tofu snacks and freshly made tofu by the brick. I like to order the soy pudding with a flan-like texture and drizzle ginger or thai tea syrup on top. Meanwhile, Crystal loves the jade bliss signature drink made with pandan mung bean soy milk, soy pudding, boba, and coconut sago." - esther cho, with warm welcome
