A Refreshing Way To Enjoy Your Coffee

Starbucks Refreshers beverage & croissants

Imagine having a refreshing drink, citrusy in flavor (lime and berry hibiscus to be exact). But in reality it has green coffee extract in it but you can't detect any flavor of coffee. Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it? Starbucks Coffee just did that with their recently launch Starbucks Refreshers beverage. Non-coffee drinkers (I'm sure there's a handful of you) would be very much delighted with this new drinks by Starbucks. Think of it as a refreshing and cool fruit tea drink.

My First Ever Travel To Binondo

I've always wanted to go to Binondo not so much to experience the vibe of its environs but more so of the infinite food one might discover and try at this Chinese-centric place. But the fact that my sense of geography is always out of whack if I didn't check first Google map impedes or dwarfs all of my preconceived plans to go there. Until my friend Gael came to the rescue and ask me if I would like to join her to visit Binondo. I dive in to the offer as an experienced swimmer would dive into the crystal clear water of a pristine lake.

FACE OFF: The Big '3'

Isn't it nice to try out something different? Whether that would be a new hobby, a new career path, trying out a novel by an author that you've never read before, or a new food recipe that you would like to share to your family. It incite that certain excitement to a rather mundane, monotonous lifestyle. An oil that lubricates the rusty part to one's daily cycle. In that note, I recently visited the bigwigs in the coffeeshop scene in the metro, which I would like to call 'The Big 3', namely Starbucks Coffee, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Seattle's Best Coffee. I tried my very best not to order the usual frappes or ice blended drinks, with the exception if the day was terribly hot and scorching that I have to order something cold (but I steered clear from the usual flavor/variant of the cold drinks that everyone seemed to order, I hope). 

My Starbucks Christmas

Christmas is in the air. Even people with the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge can't deny this fact. I especially love the Christmas season among all the other Holidays and special occasion that we celebrate all year round: The glitzy Christmas lights and decor, the different kinds of Christmas trees, midnight Christmas sale at the malls and of course the food. Its all about the food. There are a number of food establishments in the metro who do tweak and tinker their menu a bit exclusively for this Holiday season. And Starbucks Coffee is one of them.
