Celebrating Mid Autumn Festival with Starbucks®

Its that time of the year with pretty (and sometimes noisy) lanterns and gorgeous mooncakes with all sorts of fillings and flavours. Enjoy this year's Mid Autumn or better known as the mooncake festival this year with a difference. Experience a unique celebration with your loved ones and pals with Starbucks®.

Bringing you a new level of experience and excitement, Starbucks® Mooncakes this year comes in 4 yummy flavours. A fusion of tradition, Japanese and Western ideas. You'll be amazed!

Caramel Macchiato Mooncake is my favourite. Most close pals will know that a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato is my weekly must for me with my weekly lunch of their sandwiches. So its only quite expected that the Caramel Macchiato Mooncake is my fave. Indulge in the rich flavours of coffee, Swedish Caramel and butterscotch chips in every bite. Hubby loved it so much that I lost count of how many slices that he had eaten. Hehehe

Next fave would be the Green Tea Chocolate Mooncake. A very zen taste from the green tea (I must add that the green tea bit tasted much like the ocha お茶 that I drink almost everyday so its really quite a refreshing twist to the mooncake). Coupled with the centre of sweet chocolate and lotus bits, this is a good try for those who do not quite like overly sweet mooncakes.

If you like Hazelnut coffees, then you'll have to try the Hazelnut Latte Mooncake. Every bite brings you the familiar taste of Hazelnut coffee and the hazelnuts bits just adds more zing into the mooncake. Its not overly nutty. Just nice:D

The Starbucks® Tiramisu Mooncake is a wee more traditional is taste compared to the others. I could taste the familiar taste of the traditional lotus paste married with coffee. Coupled with a centre of cheese, this gets your tastebuds all nice and active.

Starbucks® mooncakes are available at all Starbucks® outlets. They are nicely packed into gorgeous boxes of with 2 yummilicious mooncakes priced at RM 32.80 or a luxurious gold and red box with 4 yummilicious mooncakes priced at RM148.80 which includes Limited Edition Ceramic Starbucks® coasters.

Drive slow TT

Its been sometime since we took a night drive to Genting Highlands. So when Johnson suggested we have a slow drive, it was an immediate YES! Plus the weather last night was so delightfully cool and the skies were clear. Unlike the usual daytime hilly drives, this would not result in sunburn. But with such cool air, perhaps moonburn burn:P and being nicely chilled.

Many asked "Drive slow TT, sure or not?" Well...we did got slow and easy. The air was so cool and the skies were so clear, so why not drive slow and savour the mood? And really its all about driving within our 

limits.

This round, we had the company of Porsche Cayman S

Toyota MR2 

and 3 Spyders.  

My fave elements of this drive:

• Reunited with my law school classmate who coincidently also bought a Spyders recently.

• No regrets in buying the Ohlins suspension. Firm ride and almost no body roll. Totally different feel compared previous runs of this similar drive and route when we were on Sportivo and Tiens.

And my fave pic:

I know it says no parking or else your car will be towed...

however, I think its all about telling the guards nicely that you want to park there for a while. In our case, we were sitting at Starbucks having our TT. And that's pretty much smack in front of where our cars were.

And after being fed with sugar and the fresh air, Gladys my neighbour from Kluang and now nieghbour in KL went cute:D

And tradition calls, that the blokes will always be peering under each other's car. Fondling each other's car:P

In short, its been a good kick start to my weekend...
