Ho-"jiak"- Going beans @ Starbucks

Cloudy


Bubble tea fat straws. It wasn't the advent of customer courtesies which led to the revision of the availability of sizes in diameter of their signature ivy-green drinking straws, but these.



Hojicha + (tea jelly), and green tea + (red bean) frappuccino. Larger than (life) asteroidal foreign objects in smoothies, which require a more-than-just-beverages obstruction-free gateway up their passages. And not because of 1cm-diameter straws in view of provision of only 5mm straws, like the 100% recycled paper napkins in view of a Green Economy.



Hojicha + Earl Grey Jelly (SGD 6.80) and Green Tea + Red Beans Frappuccino ( SGD 7.00) (Tall ea)

Sediments above/floating the beverage. Like chendol. The green tea frappuccino had red beans which were mushy, steeped and slush(-like) to the bite, amidst the green tea of smooth and velvety flavour. It was the right ratio of milk, syrup and tea. Appreciate these because it is an asian country (Singapore), where they would have these green-coloured teas/matcha a past-time and clinching a spot as a staple in the Starbucks menu.


Red Bean Green Tea Cheesecake (SGD 6.50)

The red beans here are more firm and chewy. The green tea here was just like luxuriant cream cheese, but with a touch from the extract of the leaves, of strong, grassy notes. Different from the green tea in the frappuccino, which was more like a skimming essence. The sudden comparison between the green tea and the green tea and the red bean and the red bean in the cake felt like chicken macaroni in a chicken rice stall, where the chicken macaroni was actually an impressive alternative by the chicken connoisseurs in making use of the soup after the boiling of the bones, opening up a new dish to draw crowds.

P.S. Cheesecake side by side with the frappuccino. The matcha powder had gone into the batter of the cheesecake as an extract, and also to build up frappuccino orders as an essence. The red beans too, dropped into the batter uncooked and baked, and the rest is also allocated to be dunked and steeped in the frapppuccino. Once again, appreciate {the happiness} that it is asian (Singapore, here) where the green is welcomed generously and there is an introductory offer on the green teas, for the green to be lined up in the same league as the blueberry crumble and earl grey jelly lemon as for here.
