Starbucks

Just came back from starbucks after eating my cookie crumble cheesecake! What a nice Saturday afternoon to begging with Starbucks! Well, i really like the taste of this cheesecake with the cookie on it. Thick creamy mouth feel mixed with a crunchiness from the cookies! It is just another prefect combination from Starbucks! On top of that, they are also having promotion for their limited edition Starbucks card for iphone user! Do take a look!

I had tried their return flavoured, starbucks red bean green tea before I flew off to Phuket, Thailand. Well, I did not really like the green tea latte that was sold in Starbucks because of the fishy front note which makes me yucks! So I did not really put high expectation for this drink, yet, to my amaze, it turned out to be better than what I had expected! It is very creamy and the red bean was cooked till burst which added some taste to the green tea latte. I wonder how starbuck did it because not even some of the dessert stall outside can serve such nice red bean! Hope this drink can be added to the menu!

Food
Ice blended green tea with red beans tastes good but it seems like there is an overpowering of sweetener when I left about a quarter to done with the drink. A perfect combination of big soft paste liked red beans and ice blended green tea, these two main items complement each other very well, giving me a refreshing feeling under the humid outdoor weather.Dark Mocha and chips gives a bitter and rough sensations on our tongue. Taste are well define.Taste like an edged marble cake that doesnt have that strong buttery taste with light layers of coffee cream and bitter chocolate flakes by the side. Service
Service are rather slow and since they have to cater the incoming queues, maybe they should try sending the drinks when they are ready instead of keeping the customers waiting.

Ambience
It was a Sunday evening about 5pm and seats are mainly occupied by hogger who was studying there. It's hard to grab a seat and we have to succumbed to the outdoor seats which was pretty hot with no air-conditioned. The management should do something about it .

Starbucks Hojicha! somehow i am addicted to this drink and i don't know why too. I first try this is my school Singapore poly, with the maybank 1-for-1 promotion. Then i started to fall in love with it especially the hojicha hot tea latte. I realize even with the same formula, not all are able to make the same hojicha with the same taste. some tend to be more bitter than other. I particular like that layer of foam on top on the hojicha, which i think requires so skill to make it and so far, i think the starbucks @ jurong point never fail me with the hojicha i want and also thank god that hojicha was added into the starbuck's menu after the promotion! Starbucks is also a great place with the right atmosphere to catch up with your friends and destress at the same time!
On top of that, starbucks recycling concepts which save a lot of 5 room flat should be shared and widely broadcast.

I simply love Starbucks coffee! Often drink this almost once in every two weeks. This time I've ordered Dark Mocha Venti and the chips inside is really nice. My friend used her Maybank card where you can get "1 for 1" Starbucks drink using the debit card. You can waive off 5.50 sgd from the total amount. The ambience in Jurong Point Starbucks is quite nice especially at night.

Initially i wanted to order my usual beverages from Starbucks but looking at the effort that the team of barristers put in to try to get me to order their new drink, i gave into them. so here i got myself their Asian Dolce Latte. I opted for lesser whipped cream. The latte tasted very smooth, it was very fragrant. the flavour tasted a little caramel. it lingers in your mouth for some time. A delicious hot beverage to kick start the day!

Earlier this year, I tried out Starbucks Refreshers, the Cool Lime drink. It is said to be made with fruit juice and is supposedly refreshing and healthier. I was sold on the refreshing trait which is why I decided to order this Cool Lime drink. I regretted it. For one, the drink taste no where like lime. The taste is very artificial and it taste more like detergent. It wasn’t sweet either, and the taste is just plain funny. It was a turn off and I ended up just throwing the whole cup away. I am not sure if they are still selling this, but I will just stick to the old favourites next time.

Recently I always patronise Starbucks, and I almost knew every drinks in the menu. The most popular drink for me is the java chip, followed by the mocha frapp and the green tea frapp with red bean. There are new drinks introduced recently too, which is the hojicha with earl grey grass jelly and the green tea frapp with red bean. The sandwich below is also not bad, similar to subway but the bread is hard.

Ordered a cup of the new beverage ice blended green tea with red bean. This beverage has a nice green tea aroma, the strength of the green tea is just nice, not too bland nor too strong. The drink is well blend, not chunk of ice. As for the red bean, the size is quite big, fresh, sweet taste and has a soft texture. The red bean goes very well with the green tea and produce a very nice and refreshing beverage combination. The service is good and the crew are very cheerful and bubbly.

Nowadays the weather is getting more and more unbearable. The heat is really picking up day by day. I was feeling so hot and sticky so I got myself a green tea cream to go. I love starbucks green tea cream, it is so cold and refreshing. then i saw the cookie in the counter there then i feel like eating so i bought it too! A recommended dessert for all to try if you patronized Starbucks!

I ordered a venti sized Green Tea Frappucino with whipped cream. The drink itself was not too sweet, and it tastes healthy. It compliments the whipped cream very well. I tried mixing the whipped cream with the drink and it was very tasty. It gives a special taste which I don't know to describe but it was definitely pleasant. The portion was very big and able to last me for a few hours. The service was average and there was a little waiting time.

I tried out the Starbucks christmas drink last christmas. This photo has been hiding in my phone since last year christmas, but I decided to review it because the drink was really good. I remember buying it at the jurong point branch. It is quite crowded with people, but the service counter staff was very patient with my quires on the drink since I had not had it before. I evenutally got the toffee nut frap. It is really like what the service staff described to me, it is very rich and buttery and it is smooth and creamy. I normally do not opt for whipped cream, but the whipped cream here really bought out the whole experience and taste of the toffee nut since it made it more frothy and smooth. It is one of my favourite christmas beverage.

There was a 1-1 Starbucks event and I tried this Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappucino. The money paid was worthy of the size(Venti). The drink itself is rich in chocolate flavour and I was not sick of the taste after a few mouthful. There were chocolate chips inside the drink itself. However, I don't think there is anything special of this drink. The service is good and good but there was a little queue. The environment is suitable for studying or chilling.

Starbucks cafe has always been a pleasant place to hang out especially for small meet ups with friends and also an ideal place to chill on a hot and lazy afternoon.

Ordered this White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino together with the Fudgey Chocolate Cake. The White Chocolate Mocha Frappe was really delicious! The way they blend the cocoa and coffee together was really awesome. The coffee taste was not so strong and the drink was not so sweet either. I personally love the sweetened whipped cream at the top of the drink that melts in the mouth even though too much of it is rather fattening

There weren't much choices for cakes at Starbucks, instead there were more of pastries and muffins. The Fudgey Chocolate Cake was not so sweet, however it has an average taste only. Maybe it's because the one that I ordered that day was a little hard and I have higher expectations for the taste of the cake.

chocolate peanut butter stack from starbucks. It is just so delicious, totally a pleasant surprise. I could not finish it that day and I left it in the fridge till next morning and it still tasted so good.Ordered my all time favourite hot chocolate from starbucks coffee while chilling out with friends.
Well for my hot chocolate it's my usual drink when i've not idea of what i want to drink for that day. The chocolate they use is very rich, thus making the whole drink very sinful and yummy.
It a must try drink if you don't feel like having coffee all the time and want to have something different.
