For the mocha frapp and dark chocolate lover out there, I guess this is it! Our ultimate comfort drink in a hard clear plastic grande (or venti for that matter) cup.

I had this drink twice but i haven't fully figured out what the consistency should be. My first experience was at the WCC branch at Shaw. It was like the regular frapp only darker. But the one at Pacific Star resembled Java chip (you know, with dark chocolate bits). Either way, its still great. Try one today (mega plug pa talaga eh noh?)

I always wondered what an Esprit tastes like, so I ordered one at Starbucks I2 in Lahug. Not bad for a 300 mL carbonated fruit drink. Php 80 pesos nga lang.

I found this in the internet about Esprit: http://www.bickfords.net/products/prod_esprit.html

I know I've posted a prior blog how I celebrated my unemployment and stated that I could have bought cake and ice cream for it; but instead, ate isaw by roadside.

Actually.... I already had cake that day... (chedeng)

Very sweet! A real treat for the sweet tooth! A good combo with either Cappuccino, Cafe Americano or Cafe Latte to even out the sweetness. Everything's sweet, the cheescake, the cream and the graham crust. If you love leche flan since childhood, this is it! times 2 the calorie content nga lang. Ü

Tea is a good alternative to coffee. I’m very thankful there’s Passion Iced Tea in Starbucks. There are just days that you need a happy drink with no milk, chocolate or coffee in it but not made out of fruit purees. Tadaah!

Do you still remember sucking on a red Mini Fruits candy as a child? Passion Iced Tea tastes like it… or I just have an absurd set of taste buds. Bite me if it’s the latter. I’ll even put in my blog. :) Happy happy joy joy.

In response to my chicken and pesto blog rating: Justice is served… in halved bagels.

Thank goodness! I like the Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil on Multigrain the most. Ranging from Php 90 to Php 95 an order, not bad for a heavenly meal. :)

Most of the time, I order the one with bacon. Feels like breakfast when you’re a kid, bread, cheese, scrambled egg and bacon. Yum yum.

I took a picture of my bagel and my boss, KP, during brunch, and she said… “what are you doing?” with a confused look on me and my camera phone. Then my sistah, Ava, in confidence, “its for his blog”. Well, there you go. Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to take a picture under public’s eye of what you’re eating for the sake of blogging. Bon appetit!

I really can’t remember the name of the bread but it starts with chicken and pesto. I’ve been eyeing on it since it was offered and one faithful day in Metrowalk, boom! Chicken and pesto never again. It was a good thing that I asked for extra butter, the filling was quite dry and I was expecting that the pesto sauce should make up for it. Oh woe is me. Oh woe is me. Let’s bring justice to pesto! C’mon Starbuck’s you can do better than this. ;P

Treats for the sweet tooth!

Banoffee Pie has been around for quite some time now but I haven't actually blogged about it. This is the right time, I guess.... with graham crust, caramel and chocolate filling, banana slices and smothered with whipped cream.. yum yum... sira ang gym routine ko. hahahaha
Price: Php 105

Caramel Panna Cotta is new (I think, it just came out this week). Topped with a slice of white chocolate, graham crust and creamy vanilla-caramel pana cota... it another treat for the sweet tooth. Ü Oh by the way, it's served in a clear plastic mini goblet (whatever that's called)
Price: Php 95

Eratum: spelling

I think this is still better than their Chai tea latte. Actualy, their barista tonight suggested I get the iced version. I said OK, sure, why not. So I've tried all of their 3 new tea selections.

I think this one is better than their Chai Tea Latte.

Price: Php 125 for a tall cup
Taste: its still red tea with a caramel like after taste

I had myself a Chai Tea Latte yesterday at Starbucks' Galleria

price: Php 125 for a tall cup
taste: let's just put it this way, I'm not a tea drinker but I would definitely prefer Nai Cha tea of Chowking over this one.

If I'm not mistaken, there was a hit of nutmeg in my cup yesterday.

I got my 2nd 2008 Starbucks planner last night.  In short, paso na ang dila ko sa kape.

Well, actually, Starbucks' planner does not suit my lifestyle nor my needs.  I would rather use a big notebook as my daily tickler.  I gave it out as presents to people who are dear or special to me.

This year, I gave the 1st to my step-brother, Mikes, and the other one to my ka-date last night. ÜÜÜ
