I AM BACK! [plus STARBUCKS Summer Sneak Preview]

As I was preparing for a come back after some dying moments(busy and busyness) on my life, I thought of YOU!

Some friends of mine keep complaining about the silence in here. I guess this is it, my "Balik dari Kampung".

STARBUCKS - Summer Sneak Preview
It was a great pleasure to be invited, and though it was a last minute thingy, I really do enjoyed the nice COFFEE. Thanks to "anak boss" - Andrew.

*Yeah.. 50mm f/1.8G all the way.*

This is my trademark, lens cap plus something. And this is my lens cap plus the invitation card. *I always like to put my lens cap near some of my pictures.

This is the process of making the "Sulawesi Coffee Bean", our 1st cup of coffee. By pressing the top of the coffee pot, the coffee bean will be filter.

And this is it, a strong, full, and smooth "Sulawesi Coffee". For me, this cup is quite strong, because I'm still awake at this hour. From the name itself you already know that it is from Indonesia.

After the coffee, it is best serve with the "Apple Grain Muffin". And this is Renee, my part time model.

This is the new summer drink: "Dark Berry Mocha frappuccino". It's a MUST-TRY drink when you go for STARBUCKS, a very fine ice blended with chocolate chips, on top of that is the whip cream and the berry syrup. Actually, we were more interested in the mini straw that come with the cup during the presentation. XD

There is also a third cup, an ice coffee. Serves cold and much lighter than the first cup. But someone comment said that it's like a cup of water with coffee bitterness come after the chilling.

At the end of the REVIEW, we were served with the "Marble Cheese Coffee Cake". Seriously, I really do like the Cheese part, but the bottom crust doesn't really taste coffee. I actually started to think that we had too much strong coffee and initially the coffee taste for the crust has lost it.

Review from starbucksstore.com:
"Sulawesi Coffee Bean"
Origin: Asia Pacific.
Food Pairing: Blends well with rich, creamy cheese and sweet, buttery caramel. There is very little acidity in this coffee so try it with crisp apples and pears for contrast.
Origin Notes:Coffees from Asia are popular for their full body and mellow, earthy flavors. Coffees from the Pacific islands are typically lively with herbal undertones.

This is the reaction after drinking a few cups of the Coffee. One word "Hyper".

To end this, STARBUCKS pyramid for sales, please contact me or directly call STARBUCKS. I think you better call them directly, I have no stock in my house. XD
