064: Maple Suggests tea leaf salad, etc.
Sloppy tiramisu and more
~I'm Maple, I’m currently in Menlo Park, California 🫶 and this is a weekly deal where my friends and I suggest all kinds of things you should try~
I’m writing this in California in a room at the Hotel Nia right next to the Meta Classic Campus where I’ve been working all week. I was flown out to edit videos for Meta Connect, but mostly I’ve been creeping into the campus’ micro kitchens and hoarding snacks in my purse at opportune times like a little street urchin. :)
Here are some recs:
1. This absolutely insane coworker potluck story on TikTok. Had me giggling for WAY too long in a quiet conference room with only one other person… eventually they had to ask what the hell was so funny.
2. Burmese tea leaf salad. I’d never had it! Thanks to my coworkers for broadening my horizons at Rangoon Ruby in Palo Alto…
3. A tiramisu delivered as room service and eaten with abandon to the point of the entire experience simply being sloppy.
4. Playing the people-watching game at a hotel gym. Where do these people come from and why do they all wear their most raw, uninhibited expressions while stationary biking?
I can’t think of a fifth rec right now because I’m tired. Bye!
