Green Sandwiches
2019-05-06  254 瀏覽
Stopped by Starbucks on the way to elements.
This branch does not have anywhere to sit but there are seats opposite.
Spotted this green sandwich which turns out to be Spinach salmon with cream cheese HKD29 so decided to try it.
Out of curiosity I just had to inspect it to see if the filling was uniformly distributed and the lettuce obviously wasn't!
I LOVE THE WAY HONG KONG CHEATS PEOPLE WITH THE PACKAGING SO THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT IT ISN'T FILLED ABOVE AND BELOW THE EDGES AS THERE IS CARD TO COVER IT.

There wasn't much cream cheese either.
Apart from the fillings, it was quite nice because the dill made it tasty but the sandwich was a bit dry.

My foodie friend got me this Not just the yuzu pudding but the fuji cake as well.
I loved the yuzu pudding as it was smooth and silky with pieces of yuzu in it,.
The mount fuji cake is a cake with icing to make it look like the snow on mount fuji.
I really liked the icing which gave the cake the overall sweetness and the piece of chocolate shavings on top.
Obviously she knew I liked chocolate

To be honest, I don't know if KCP had a Starbucks before and got moved or this is a totally new branch in KCP.
Decided to dine there because they had the caramel danish.
The caramel danish was a little different from what I imagined.
I thought there was going to be caramel drizzled on top or caramel in the middle but it turns out to be caramel custard in the middle.
It was reheated perfectly so it wasn't too hard or crunchy and the filling in the middle was not too sweet.
Finished with a Venti Cloud Mist tea which was only HKD30.

Tasty Egg White wrap
2018-10-02  132 瀏覽
I was craving for wraps recently so this was on the list to try.
Went late in the day so I wasn't expecting it to be good as this was the last wrap in the cabinet and it was late in the evening so I was expecting the wrap to be dry and tough after it was heated.
After it was heated, it was slightly crispy because of the dryness but the filling inside was still delicious especially the scrambled egg white filling and melted cheddar.
The only thing I didn't like was the red bell pepper as it wasn't in harmony with the other ingredients.

A few years ago, Starbucks had the Yoghurt Frap but I didn't try it because when I asked them they said it was yoghurt powder and not real yoghurt. Anyway, the Yoghurt Frap was launched again this year and it was peach and apricot so I decided to try it as I like these fruits. The taste was quite nice and not too sweet but as they used yoghurt powder, it just tasted like froyo and Yakult.
Perhaps, fresh yoghurts go bad quickly hence they used yoghurt powder.

Starbucks Puddings have been successful and now they have the new ube flavour.
In the past, they had caramel, Sakura, Green Tea, Chocolate and other flavours in Japan.
This time I had the new ube pudding but they didn't have the sleeve label so I wasn't able to see what ingredients were inside.
The ube pudding was smooth and not too sweet but the ube flavour was not that strong.

Similar to the Purple Potato Tart, there were purple potato cubes in it.

Overall, it was quite a nice silky pudding contrasted by the cubes of purple potato.

2018-07-16  325 瀏覽
I have never ventured to CKC before but only went because of food le parc.
food le parc is a haven for peace and quiet on the weekends as the office people have fled.
It is a little busier on Sundays when people are out and you get some curious people venturing here.

Had the salmon and scrambled egg wrap which was surprisingly good, inside it was filled with minced tuna mixed with mayonnaise which gives it a creamy flavour while the scrambled egg is filling.
Finished with the Cinnamon danish to complete my lunch.
Again, it was flawless as it was not too crunchy with a nice chew flavoured by the sugar and cinnamon.
For drinks, I had my favourite Earl Grey Chocolate Frap.
My friend said the strawberry iced lemonade was too sweet but he didn't know you could request the sugar levels.

Went here for the Earl Grey Mint Lemonade Frozen Tea with aloe.
It was cooling and a refreshing drink to have on a hot day because you get slush on top.
The only thing was that I could not taste the Earl Grey and it tasted like white grapes which was strange so the taste wasn't as palatable as their other drinks.

I love Pistachio so I ordered the Pistachio bon bon cream.
It was as nice as expected but the pistachio taste wasn't very strong and the colour wasn't very green.
At the bottom, there were some crispy candied nuts.

This was a while ago when Starbucks offered the buy1get1free offer for the frappucino.
Luckily they had two brilliant flavours that time so I got one of each.
The green tea frapp was blended smoothly and it was ice cold, perfect on a hot day with a balanced grassiness.
The coffee frapp was strong and the coffee flavour was fragrant but a little too sweet because I forgot to ask for less syrup.
Anyway, this branch handled the queue very efficiently.

Another great drink from Starbucks. It has Coconut jelly made with coconut bits at the bottom topped with chilled coconut water. Pina Colada juice blended with ice is then poured on top giving it that floating island effect.
It was a brilliant drink because it is non alcoholic and doesn't contain coconut milk.
The sweetness was just right for me because there is no extra syrup as the sweetness comes from the coconut jelly and the slush on top is just juice blended with ice.

Obviously I got this new Matcha strawberry blossom Frappuccino because of the pretty pink cream on top.
You can't really taste the strawberry because the green tea taste is stronger and the vanilla syrup they use is quite strong.
It would be great if the strawberry cream was more refreshing or blended with real strawberries.

Went to Starbucks to try the new Teavana series.

I don't like coffee or Hibiscus so I got the grapefruit with honey.
It had a nice strong natrual grapefruit taste but the honey was a bit too sweet for my liking.
While I was waiting for my drink, I saw this tasting session list which starts at 3pm, since it was already 2:45pm I decided to try the tasting.

When I asked the guy at Starbucks, he said it doesn't have to start at 3pm.
Basically they have a new range of loose leaf teas by Teavana which they also sell as well.
I was given a sample of the citrus mint and youthberry.
The youthberry was pleasant but I didn't like the mint because it tasted like mouthwash!
The guy on the left could have asked for a tasting too instead of buying other drinks to drink at Starbucks.

Starbucks have launched two new tea frappuccinos, the Double Chocolate Green Tea Frappuccino and Chocolate Black Tea Frappuccino.
I ordered the Chocolate Black Tea Frappuccino which has a layer of Earl Grey tea jelly at the bottom topped with black tea frappuccino blended with Kenyan tea leaves and chocolate java chips.
This is the best frappuccino I have ever had because there is a strong Earl grey flavour as well as chocolate and the jelly at the bottom is really nice.

Next time I will get the bigger size.
