Yowazzup? Coffee: Coffee Lover's Journey to Coffee Haven

UCC Special Blended Coffee

UCC Special Blended Coffee Freeze Dried is regular ground coffee from UCC. The verdict? It is not much different from the regular ground coffee. The flavor is mild and there is nothing special about it.

UCC Special Blended Coffee retails at MYR 24.90 at Isetan KLCC. Also available at selected supermarkets.

Coffee Bean’s Nutty Delight Ice Blended

Coffee Bean’s Nutty Delight Ice Blended, currently available as a promotion for Ramadan, is a unique non-coffee ice-blended. Made from roasted pistachio, this drink is nutty and sweet and may not suit everyone as it is a non-coffee and it’s full of nuts. Our verdict: it’s a little bit on the sweet side. It’s suitable as a “buka puasa” drink together with dates but since Ramadan is already over, there’s no reason to drink this anymore.

As usual, like other promos, Coffee Bean Nutty Delight Ice Blended is available at Coffee Bean for a limited time only.

Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Doppio

Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Doppio, like Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Con Panna is a product from Starbucks and Suntory made especially for the Japanese market. Unlike the Con Panna, Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Doppio is less sweet as it is bold and has a full coffee flavor from espresso and only a hint of milk.

Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Doppio also has a nice packaging and is in black instead of white.

Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso is imported from Japan and it is currently available in Isetan supermarket, KLCC.

Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Con Panna

Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Con Panna which is Starbucks Coffee Company’s joint-venture with Japan’s Suntory to produce ready-to-drink (RTD) premium coffee in the Japanese market. Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Con Panna has a strong coffee flavor from espresso and it is blended with milk and has a hint of sweetness.

A good caffeine boost in a uniquely-designed can, this is a beauty inside out!

It’s imported from Japan and it is currently available in Isetan supermarket, KLCC.

Starbucks’ Iced Mocha

Starbucks is popular with its Frappuccino, often some less popular drinks are left out. Starbucks’ Iced Mocha, for instance, is one heck of a drink. It’s sweet like chocolate but has distinctive coffee flavor as well. And it’s a lot cheaper than Frappuccino. Maybe you should give it a try once awhile.

Retailing at MYR 11.00 at Starbucks Malaysia.

UCC Café au Lait

UCC Café au Lait is yet another coffee drink from UCC. Sadly, Malaysia doesn’t have any UCC cafe, that’s why UCC canned drinks are the only way we can savor this great coffee from Japan.

Although UCC Café au Lait is a milk coffee, it has very strong coffee flavor. It’s not sweet at all and definitely not the type of coffee you would like to try if you’re not a coffee lover. Strictly for coffee lover.

UCC Café au Lait retails at MYR 5.99 at Mercato, Pavilion KL.

Coffee Jelly Frappuccino

Starbucks has reintroduced Coffee Jelly Frappuccino which was introduced previously. This time around, the jellies are bigger but softer. You can even suck the jelly out using the straw.

The new Coffee Jelly Frappuccino is amazingly delicious and is a great drink anytime. Retailing at MYR 16.00 for Venti, Coffee Jelly Frappuccino like any seasonal drink is only available for a limited time.

Coffee Bean’s Cappuccino Ice Blended

Coffee Bean’s Cappuccino Ice Blended is now available alongside Spanish Tea Latte for the tea lovers.

Unlike its famous Ultimate Mocha Ice Blended, Cappuccino Ice Blended is less sweet and it’s taste just like your usual cappuccino with an added twist — ice-blended. Try it today as the drink is available only for a limited period of time.

Starbucks’ Dark Berry Mocha Frappuccino

Starbucks has introduced Dark Berry Mocha Frappuccino Blended Coffee, yet another drinks which mix berries with Dark Mocha.

Unlike Dark Cherry Mocha Frappuccino which was introduced late last year, Dark Berry Mocha Frappuccino has stronger hint of berry flavor, which overwhelms the coffee flavor with the mixture of sweetness and sourness of the berries. Despite that, it is still a refreshing drink!

Retailing at MYR 14.00 for Tall, Starbucks’ Dark Berry Mocha Frappuccino is only available for a limited time!

This morning, I planned to chill at Starbucks at KL Convention Center before PC Fair starts. I wanted to have the breakfast set with an upgrade to latte. However, at 8:45am, it’s still not yet opened. By 9am, I decided to leave since it didn’t seem to keen to serve customer like me. After waiting for close to 15 minutes, another customer came and the Starbucks staff seemed to abide him by opening the store and served him first before me.

Don’t get me wrong, if you have been following my blog, you know I am a BIG fan of Starbucks. But, on a day where all of us know there is a huge event, PC Fair, that’s it at 10am. Most of the people working in PC Fair already thronged the eateries around KL Convention Center by 8:30am. But, Starbucks is still closed?

I’m surprised and totally let down by Starbucks. I can even say the Starbucks staff in KL Convention Center are the most unfriendly people I ever met. Could anyone tell me what’s going on?
