WOW! Just got one award and now another one *LOL* I think this is a way to link bait instead of using meme 😛 Hehehe… This award is presented to me by MonekyWong, our very own monkey in Sarawak! Hahaha…

Wondering what is this?
You’re eligible for this award is due to your natural ability to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection. You effortlessly weave your way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. You don’t limit your visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. You are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello – all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship. All in all, you’re a Good schmoozer!!!

Oh… I’m flattered!!! *Muah*

Can I exchange it with cash?
It’s not exchangeable with cash and no trophy either!
Congrads! U truly deserve it! And thanks to be my dear friends!
So wait no more, now it’s your turn to award 5 other bloggers with the Power of Schmooze Award! Let’s rock the blogosphere!!!

Yogurt Breaks, Whittard Of Chelsea – Hot Chocolate With Courvoisier, Hotel Chocolat – Dark Rocky Road, Whittard Of Chelsea – Green Mango Green Tea, McVitie’s HobNobs Milk Chocolate Flapjacks, goahead! Raspberry Fruit Bake, Fox’s Classic, Hotel Chocolat – Dark Champagne Truffles, Hotel Chocolat – Rice Ganache With Vanilla

Hehehe… It’s been a while no chocolate update 😛 Now let me introduce Zesty Praline Squares to you. When you see the word “zesty”, the first thing comes to you must be something related to orange, lime or lemon. It’s not all sweet, you can feel the zest in there.

The descriptions on the pack is enough to tell you what is it, “nibbly praline with tiny pieces of almond nougetine and zesty orange”.

Do I need to say more? Hehehe… I ate so slowly until the whole thing melted on my fingers. By the way, it’s another guest recipe from Hotel Chocolat.

Starbucks @ KIA

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Starbucks @ KIA

Bearista: I’m coming! This afternoon Irene brought me to Starbucks at KIA. Finally I came out from my box for so many years.

Irene: Hehehe… This bear is given to me by Ben as my birthday present, not the Ben here 😛 It’s the Ben from KL who is in Melbourne now. Was given to me about hmm… 5 or 6 years ago? He worked part time at Starbucks. He gave me this because his colleague commented that the bear looked like him *LOL* He’s one of my online friends.


Starbucks at KIA is situated at the departure hall which is upstair. Just next to KFC.



Some of the things inside Starbucks. Friendly staff. I was told that they are currently training the local lads and those serving you now are support team from KL and KK. The wifi is not ready yet because of the delay by the contractor.


Left: The serviette.
Right: Bearista wants some too!
Java Chip(venti means large), RM15.50. It’s ice blended coffee with chocolate chips and whipped cream(optional). It’s really really really thick and sweet! -.-“
“Signature” Hot Chocolate(tall means small), RM9.50. Very rich milk and bittersweet chocolate, steamed with milk. It’s really really nice! I love it! Best to drink it when it’s hot. When it’s cold, it’s really very sweet hahaha… No kidding, it’s really rich! Whipped cream is optional. It’s nicer with whipped cream.

See Bearista in action!

Hmm…
I’m going to drink it now… But… But… My hand is too small 🙁 I want to sip it but I’ll have chocolate and whipped cream all over me 🙁


Sigh… Can’t drink, I’ll just sit and let Irene finish her drink. Aiks… I’m naked! I didn’t wear underwear except my apron! I saw my friends in the basket near the counter, they were wearing white t-shirt and apron! I need to wear something too!!

You will surely get quality coffee at Starbucks. I saw how they trained the staff. WOW! Really strict. They even have a scale to weigh the coffee, it must be of certain weigh, too heavy or too light will make or break the coffee. Very strict quality control indeed. Not sure Coffeebean is like this or not hahaha… I never step there yet 😛

By the way, there will be tax charged.
