Starbucks Summer Specials: Midnight Mocha and Tea-ramisu Frappuccino

Starbucks welcomes the summer season with two specially created frappuccino blended beverage from April 11 to June 4, 2018- Tea-ramisu and Midnight Mocha Frappuccino. These two blended drinks will surely make you #GetTheFeels of summer.


Tea-ramisu Frappuccino is a delightful blend of creamy cheesecake milk with Japanese Matcha and topped with whipped cream and green tea cookie bits. This sublime-tasting drink is the perfect blended beverage when you need that extra energy summer boost. Quite refreshing and makes me think of fluffy cheesecake.


On the other hand, Midnight Mocha Frappuccino has a more intense flavor blended from rich, bittersweet black cocoa powder, coffee, java chipped with whipped cream and cocoa powder. The combination of flavors makes it velvety and truly wakes up the senses. I also detect a hint of berries that makes this drink utterly delicious.


Aside from the summer blended beverage, Starbucks also has some yummy baked goodies that greatly compliments summer. Here are my two favorites:  The Chocolate Babka (non-Kosher) which has its origins from Eastern Europe. This is a soft and chocolatey sweet bread filled with Belgian chocolate. Best eaten warm so that you can savor the oozing chocolate.


And the Pistachio Dome which is actually a white chocolate mousse with creamy pistachio, with layers of vanilla and chocolate cake topped with whipped cream and pistachio nuts. Yummy!


And because its summer, Columbia Huila is the highlighted Starbucks Single Origin series. This coffee has some fruity notes and milky chocolate sweetness.


Of course, summer is not complete without some Starbucks merch that comes mostly in lovely pastel colors.

    2. No, keto is a no sugar diet. We can take anything subbed with stevia or equal gold or erythirol though. :)

  2. I'm not fond of drinking coffee so I rarely go to Starbucks. But I like their cakes and pastries. The Pistachio Dome looks yummy!

  3. Not a coffee drinker so I order choco drinks when I chance in SB, which is very seldom -- like once a year? haha. But yes, these new set of merchandise are really cute and nice!

NEW RESTO ALERT: Saigosan in Uptown Mall

Konnichiwa Saigosan! A new and funky izakaya recently opened at Uptown Mall headed by Chef Chris Oronce. This izakaya not only serves delectable dishes but is also a visual-feast. Inspired by animes, mangas, and JPop culture, Saigosan even has a train wherein you can hop from Kyoto to Osaka without a JR Pass! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow! 

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
