I know quiet mornings and Starbucks doesn’t quite go hand in hand but I kid you not when I say that’s what I just had today. I spent a good two hours chilling at the plush chairs of Starbucks Reserve in Resorts World Singapore, savouring my breakfast and reading my book. Before you send me hate mail on being one of those inconsiderate people that hog up Starbucks at peak hour, in my defense, it was early (opening time, to be exact!) and it wasn’t busy (yet).
Starbucks Reserve has all the elements of a typical Starbucks branch – earthy interiors, cozy furniture, souvenir merchandise, and their typical coffee and pastry menu.
However, it does have a little extra punch: the Starbucks Reserve. What the hell is the Starbucks Reserve? It is basically exotic, rare & exquisite coffee according to the photo above, harhar.
Ready for my first sip! She suggested I first drink the coffee black so I can taste its full flavor. I ended up not putting milk and sugar for the whole drink, unusual for me coz I like my coffee sweet. It was a real good pick me upper. 🙂
In Manila, Starbucks serves the waffle with whip cream and chocolate syrup; here, they offer butter and fruit jam. Really happy they gave me a more than generous serving of whip cream to make my breakfast complete.
Sunday morning essentials: coffee, book, and my phone.
Guys, I am happy to announce that after almost 10 years, I have finally finished reading Love in the time of Cholera. I bought it because of the movie Serendipity and further research said that it was one of the greatest love stories of all time. Heck, it’s even Ted Mosby’s favorite! The writing style takes some time to get a hang of, but like Shakespeare, once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you can breeze through it. To be clear, it took me a long time and around 200 pages to get the hang of it – various attempt at different years included. I have to share Robin Scherbatsky’s sentiments on this one: Love in a time of don’t bother-a. Although the finally getting together in old age is romantic, I don’t like Florentino Ariza. But, I’d let you read through it and form your own opinion.
