The event was crowded with 2 clowns, DJ and alot of baristas and staff. The event were opened for the invitated guests where we were given privileges to drink whatever they provided like Iced Tazo green tea, iced water and Iced coffee. They had a corner of free body-paint. Most of the staff had painted on their faces or arms/hand. The guests were not left out.
The event started at past 3pm where the guests divided into 3 group where accompany by the staff leader itself. The game is starting with booth hopping where given an introduction of certain new drinks/foods to taste and drink and provided with a question to win the game from each booth. There were 3 booths; 1)New Frappuccino drinks: Java Chip & Chocolate Cream Chip 2)New hot Coffee drinks: Kopi Kampung, Brazil Ipanema & Peru Ipanema 3)New summer food-Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin.
From a group itself divided into 2 team where both team need to compete each other to win the game. How ironic. My group - Green, split into 2 where my team was the loser that lost mostly to the young generation who were energetic and more paying attention than us. Jeffery and me were in a team where else Ken was in another team with the youngsters. Whatever the game was, my team will lose pathetically.
So, Ken's team won the prizes. Next was the lucky draws section and Ken got lucky to get picked that his tagname's number was called. I got nothing but got into finalist on Best Summer Attire category. They called out 3 finalist in Best Female Summer Attire and 3 finalist in Best Male Summer Attire.
I was wearing shocking pink pant with vibrant orange V-neck shirt. Sadly I didn't win anything, again. But luckily that we were wasn't empty handed when the event was over. Every each guest who leave the event were given a goodies bag.
At least, I got something from Starbucks. :)
Summary: Starbucks Coffee is going to have their new drinks; Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee and Chocolate Cream Frappuccino Blended Cream in their menu as to replace their promotional Rhumba Frappuccino, permanently. For those who love the mixture of coffee and chocolate, this is the optional for you.
Frankly, I prefer Java Chip Frappuccino although it tastes very sweet and the mixture of their rich coffee, cocoa and chocolate with milk that blend perfectly into smooth yummies delight.
Just ponder, I received the Starbucks International newsletter on their summer fruit Frappuccino blended beverages;Pomegranate Frappuccino® juice blend and Tangerine Frappuccino® juice blend for tropical retreat. How come in Malaysia they never introduce or make some promotional period for these drinks during this hot summer season. Instead they were promoting the Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee and Chocolate Cream Frappuccino Blended Cream. Does it clash with the drinks on the hot summer days? Kinda heaty for the body.
I read the press release that stated:
“Starbucks hand-picked these flavors to capture the essence of summer,
knowing that our customers want the most refreshing beverages that surprise and delight their senses with appealing ingredients and unexpected tastes,” said Michelle Gass, senior vice president of Category Management. “The summer months – particularly July – are typically the ‘hottest’ times of the year for Frappuccino® blended beverages, our new thirst-quenching flavors are sure to tempt the taste buds throughout the year.”
Heard the rumours that Starbucks Malaysia has done with their own research/review that our Malaysians don't accept these fruity drinks. How wonder...
How unfortunate. Must be tasty for a perfect summer refresher.“Both beverages contain fruit juice, are naturally fat-free, low in calories, cholesterol-free and completely non-dairy. And like all Starbucks beverages, they can be customized with any flavor of Tazo® tea – caffeinated or caffeine free."
