Spook-a-ccino (Halloween Seasonal Drink - $8.20)
purple sweet potato smoothie blend topped with pure matcha powder and chocolate cat topper (I don't see it and probably hidden inside the drink). I felt that the drink was quite sweet and sour* probably due to the sweet potato for me tbh and filled with sweet potato chunks inside the drink.

Is the time once again for some mooncakes. Chance upon Starbucks and saw this small mooncake on display at the counter, so decided to grab one of it.

This dark mooncake has their signature coffee infused with it, so I literally taste some coffee on the skin.

Inside it has the lotus paste with caramel and chopped hazelnut center. For people who scare of big size mooncake, this is actually very small, probably 2 bites already finish all.

New Matcha Cream. $8.20 for this. Matcha frappacino with lotsa Cream and pretty pastel chocolate snowflakes.

This chicken pita ($6.90) was really flavorful and good! The tender chicken meat came in a generous portion (the pita was stuffed to the max and every bite had a good amount of chicken) was spicy and peppery, and I appreciate the fact that it is not dry at all. It had a bit of cranberry to add a touch of sweetness. The warm pita bread was soft yet crispy in all the right places and I liked that there was a perfect pita to chicken ratio. :) A filling and protein-filled lunch or snack!

I've paired it here with Starbucks' newest fall drink; pumpkin spice latte (served in a piccolo glass, it looks so adorable). I had it made with coconut milk and its a really bad combination. >< Having it with either soy or dairy milk would be a much better option!

Starbucks' summer season is coming to an end so I had to try this National Day exclusive before it got booted off the menu!! This whimsical take on an ice-cream sandwich ($6.90) has a layer of creamy Oreo filling with a chocolatey biscuit crust in the center, with two layers of colorful sponge cake sandwiching it.

I was surprised at the first bite because the cake felt really light overall, and Starbucks cheesecakes have a way of being very dense and rich. The mouthfeel was amazing; there was the fluffy sponge, the rich cream filling, crunchy wafer and cookies. It was certainly interesting to taste three different textures on a single fork. I also liked that it wasn't too sweet with all the elements balancing each other out perfectly. The fact that this cake combines two classical desserts (cheesecake and ice cream sandwich) in an interesting and aesthetically appealing way was definitely the cherry on the cake. (pun intended :D)
