Explosion of Flavors at Tumblr Ready-Shops
By Anna Kim
People in the 21st century love taking pictures
before eating, and proceeding to post them on
social media. This is a trend nowadays especially
for teens and their parents. The most popular social
media, Instagram and Tumblr, have their own color
scheme for pictures. They use these color scheme
by putting filters on a picture to makes it look more
aesthetic and attractive. However, some foods are
just not worth a taking picture even if you use
filters. Here are seven different food shops that are
worth eating at and taking pictures of their food.
1)BOWL’D
徐汇区 安福路255号（近武康路）
Bowl’d is a shop where a lot foreigners go for
breakfast. Acai bowls are a new breakfast trend
worldwide. The acai berries came from South
America, and it has been heralded for its array of
health benefits. However, its strongest asset is
definitely it’s taste. Acai bowls look like ice cream,
and they nearly taste like ice cream. It’s basically a
really thick smoothie that has been topped with
fruits, nuts, coconut shreds, and granola. At Bowl’d
they serve four different flavored acai bowls.
