Starbucks Malaysia Summer & Autumn Beverages

There was a week where I went to places which has Starbucks and thus got a drink for myself, twice in a week! Goodness, my money... T.T

But I did it because it was double points week in conjunction with Merdeka week. (With a Starbucks card, if you buy a certain number of handcrafted beverages you get one free. So yeah, buy lesser beverages for a free drink, why not?)

Anyway here's the summer season specials (although it's summer all year long in Malaysia):


I tried the Tiramisu Frappucino one first, it tastes normal (well, its chocolatey-coffee, and of course the taste is richer/thicker than Chatime coffee series), but then there was these yummy chocolate crunchies inside it and on top of the whip cream (yum!). #instantlove

And so days later I went out with my family, while they were doing their shopping I had no where to shop so I sat down at Starbucks and got my double points a Tiramisu Chocolate Chip Frappucino.

To my speechlessness I found out it tastes almost the same as the Tiramisu Frappucino I bought the other day, almost the same, it even has the chocolate crunchies in it. So it's either I can't differentiate the presence of the extra chocolate chips, or they did not add the extra amount in, or they served me the Chocolate Chip version when I ordered it the other day.


Name got spelled wrongly LOL

But anyway, the cup with Chocolate Chip in its name is more expensive than the other by RM1. My advise: just go for the Tiramisu Frappucino and hope the barista accidentally poured some chocolate chips inside it. (LOL the season is over by now anyway so just head off to the Autumn seasons drinks)

For those who hates/ can't stand the taste of vanilla, don't go for the French Vanilla Latte. I didn't get the latte version but I bought the frappucino version (also known as the French Vanilla Frappucino, same stuff, just ice blended version).

I don't like the taste of vanilla (a little is okay though), so I thought since it's Starbucks, lets have some high expectations on what the recipe turns out to be. And yes, I should have known better, Starbucks did live up to it's name as a famous coffee shop, the vanilla taste is quite strong for a person who can't tolerate the flavor. (So for a normal person it should taste like "wow, I can actually feel the vanilla-ness in the coffee!)

I didn't order it with whip cream so I can't really judge how it blended it with, but I managed to finish it probably because the ice shavings in it helped diluted the flavor, or that I was reading stuff and shifted my focus away from the vanilla.

I haven't tried the Dark Caramel Latte... :/ Probably will, when Starbucks comes out with a next good offer.

Here's some pictures anyway.


I don't know what those sprinkles are :o


Those chocolates seem yummy though...

Signing out.
