Starbucks Winter Indulgence 2014

As a big fans of Starbucks, I'm so excited when got a chance to their new variant for their coffee. This event was held in MD Building Rasuna Said. The place was not too spacious but pretty cozy to escape from traffic for a while.


First we got a chance to taste Starbuck's coffee. I always excited to taste a new coffee. I already like it from the smell of the coffee itself.

Starbuck's Guatemala Casi Cielo


The coffees that make up Guatemala Casi Cielo are from the Antigua region of Guatemala and were selected as some the best region has to offer. Guatemla Casi Cielo is a medium roast coffee with a floral aroma, lemon acidity, a rich flavor and smooth body, finishing with hints of dark cocoa.

When I sip it and paired it with chocolate in my mouth, I really didn't feel like drink a coffee because of the lightness of the coffee.

Starbucks VIA Ready brew Pike Roast

Pike Place Roast is a very distinctive combination of coffees, roasted to be exceptionally smooth and approachable, bringing to life cocoa and toasted nut flavors in the coffee. Totally different with instant coffee that we know, Starbucks VIA Ready Brew still contain a real genuine coffee seed that already through the grinding process to keep the taste and aroma from the coffee.


It is available for customers to take home everyday beginning 7th January until 3 March 2014.

ASIAN DOLCE FRAPPUCCINO

Continuing  their previous Asian Dolce products, Iced Asian Dolce and Asian Dolce Latte, now Starbucks also launch anothe Asian Dolce variant which is Asian Dolce Frappuccino.

The delectable and indulgence beverage is a blend of dark roasted coffee, signature espresso, rich sweetness of Dolce sauce, blended together and classically topped with whipped cream.

If compare with their previous Asian Dolce variant, I prefer the previous one. Specially the Asian Dolce Latte. This Asian Dolce Frappuccino is too sweet to my palate. And the whipped cream add more sweetness in it.


WINTER FOOD INDULGENCE

POTATO SALAD with FRUITY KRAFTKORN
Sandwich made from Kraftkorn mix and folded with raisins, apricots and walnuts. Layered with potato salad. it's a combination of sweet and savory.

Potato salad topped with mayonnaise topped at the fruity kraftkorn bread. The fruity bread can make a perfect balance for the potato and mayonnaise, so you can still feel it light. Better served cold. It more bring out all the flavor.


SMOKED CHICKEN and MUSHROOM CROISSANT
Baked buttery croissant dough, filled with smoked chicken, mushroom and topped with bechamel sauce and cheese.

If you can see the layer of the croissant below, you can see the crunchy texture from the outside croissant. But it still moist inside. Better served hot to make the becahmel sauce and the cheese more tasty.


RHUBARB and APPLE CRUMBLE PIE
Sweet buttery dough filled with tangy rhubarb combine with fresh apple and topped with almond crumble.

This pie is all have half taste. Means all ingredients that in it is not too pop-out. I didn't feel the tangy from the rhubarb, can't feel the apple and also can't feel the almond. This pie could be a perfect pairing with Starbucks americano.


To celebrate Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day, Starbucks wil launch their new Starbucks Card. And you can get these card start from 7th January. So go grab it fast y'll

 
Thanks a billion Starbucks for a very special privileged.
