Starbucks (Tiong Bahru Plaza)

The latest wave of new drinks from Starbucks seemed to be much inspired by some Japanese vibes. Of the three beverages, the Okinawa Brown Sugar Latte (S$7.60 for a Tall size) was the coffee based drink that added some Brown Sugar syrup and sauce in place of the regular sugar syrup.

The coffee tasted like it was only supplemented with a different type of syrup. On the whole, if the Okinawa Brown Sugar wasn’t something that you were paying much attention to, then this drink might not be that special to you.

Franken Green Frapp-boo-ccinos (Venti - $9.90) is mild matcha taste complemented with dark chocolate well and good thing I have tried the drink before Christmas Drink Season released because I was sick during Halloween Week and didn't managed to try during Halloween Week. It is much better than last year's halloween seasonal drink as I preferred classic and modern twist flavour for the drink itself.

Trying the “Mai Hum Chicken Laksa Pie” at Starbucks, paired with a Hojicha Tea Latte. Microwaved pies tend to be a little dry, but the flavour’s quite subtle and I like digging in to real tau pok pieces in the pie! Not the best but worth a try, especially with the S$1 off items in the Local Delights menu from now till 3 August (check your Starbucks Rewards email).

So.... this was what happened when the instructor cancelled #Piloxing class tonight!! Never a good idea to pull a last minute change of plans on me 😬😅😂🤣 Double whammy. Anyway, here’s the new Chocolate Black Tea Frappuccino with Earl Grey Jelly 🤤

☀️ Sharing a slice of Ondeh Ondeh Gula Melaka cake with mum. Guess which drink was mine and which was hers?

Grilled Chicken, Mushroom, Spinach & Egg Sandwich ($5.90)

This tastes much better than it looks. It is warmed up before being served to you, which is great. The chicken is moist & the bun is incredibly soft (visually it looks super hard to me).
