I love Christmas. I try to find as many Christmas food themed items as much as possible. So, I begin this holiday season with Starbucks drinks.Along with the usual toffee nut crunch, peppermint mocha and gingerbread latte, they have a new one called Christmas Tree. The promo photo said it was a dark chocolate mocha piled high with matcha whipped cream and sprinkled with green and red candies. It's supposed to look like, you guessed it, a Christmas tree! How cool is that?I ordered a tall. After getting rid of the red cups last year (and the odd controversy in that), they have brought a newly designed festive cup. I think it's pretty. I still don't understand why there are still some people against this cup as well. The internet ... so strange sometimes.Enough of the cup! What about the drink? Well, this was the whipped cream. I don't know. I requested it. I didn't say don't give me cream or put only a dab. Nope. I wanted it all. But it was flat like a bit of foam on top.

It tasted just like a normal cup of iced tea, with a bit of refreshing fruity taste. It was not that impressive although the drink was literally shaken with a shaker, but I don't think I will order it again. …查看更多
Chicken and mushroom pie ($26)Not my first time having this as a quick lunch. I found that the fat ratio in their chicken mushroom pie has reduced. I remember I used to be able to find pieces of chicken fat skin in the pie but they only have lean chicken meat and some creamy mushroom suace inside the buttery and flaky pie crust.The service was also exceptionally quick which literally took around 2 mins to have my piping hot pie ready with a pack of ketchup. I found that the food at Starbucks has been improving from time to time and I can't wait for more better food quality and more delicious options. …查看更多
