Back in February, after church, Teresa and I met Sheri down in Ankeny at Naughtea for lunch. Naughtea specializes in serving a variety of bubble teas and Korean hot dogs. I had no clue what a Korean hot dog was, but I was more than game to find out.

You can get your K-Dog with either half cheese and half hot dog, all hot dog, all cheese, or either combination wrapped in American cheese. I got the Hot Cheetos K-Dog with half cheese and half hot dog. I would actually recommend going all cheese cause quite frankly the hot dog is nothing to write home about. I don’t know what kind of hot dog they use, but it isn’t one that would ever make it to my fridge and on my grill. I’m not exactly a hot dog snob. Well… maybe a little bit. But I would never use the “e word” to describe my relationship with hot dogs.

Here are some pictures from the day:

For the bubble tea I got the Mango Princess Jasmine Milk Tea with the Mano Jelly Boba. It was 100% delicious.

My K-Dog was also delicious. However, for somebody like me, one K-Dog probably doesn’t do in the appetite. But since K-Dogs are relatively inexpensive (anymore if I can get out of a restaurant paying less than $15, that is a win and if I can get out for less than $10 I alert the media) I would maybe get 2 next time. But then you factor in the $7 drink, I’m suddenly becoming an expensive date.

I would definitely go back, but I don’t think I would search it out. At least not for a meal. Maybe if I was hardcore craving a bubble tea.

Naugtea is located at:

1810 SW White Birch Circle

The next food adventure will take place in Altoona, Iowa.
