Coffee In Da Jelly?

Coffee In the Jelly - Jelly In Ur Coffee~

Yup that's rite~ Starbucks Coffee Jelly's BACK!

Sunday afternoon me n dear went to Spring to get her number replace *moran animal pick-pocketed her phone at the charity food fair at Civic Centre* forget about it i'll break both that moran's hand if he's so unlucky to be found by me.. okay not worth reboiling myself with that matter...

anyway before going to Digi store we head to Starbucks to get ourselves sumthin nice to iron-out our day... I wasn't actually expecting coffee jelly to be out so soon and same goes to dear..

but then when our sight arrive at starbucks this is what we saw
YESH!!! ITS THE COFFEE JELLY THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOOO LONG!! hmm when's the last time i had coffee jelly.... 3 yrs ago?? The sensation of a cool sweetness with a hint of coffee bitter compliment with tiny cubes of black delicious chewwy jelly settle at the base of the frappucino....wud more can u ask on the hot day with a drink like that...

So we 'Q' up and place our orders and moments later we got this:
i wus so excited that i didn't even have time to focus this pic properly... haha

So after pumping a mouth full of supposingly sattisfyin coffee jelly into my mouth my tastebuds sent a message telling me that's not the taste or rather texture i've been expecting...

well, the jelly's the main thing here actually... I remember clearly the texture of the jelly that i had couple of years back is more or less as chwwy as nata-de-coco but the jelly as u can see from the pic is like 豆腐花 dyed black and slightly more gelatin which makes it more condensed that 豆腐花。。。 not as satisfying but not too bad either... If you out there wus expecting sumthing that i expected.. then this surely isn;t the coffee jelly that it use to be.. if not no harm givvit a try~ ;-)

You've Got Mail!

Have you ever came across situation where u misplace something important at places during your vacation and only realize that when you're back to home country?

Well i have... *head growing big and shaping like p
rawn*

its the phuket trip that me and dear went like about a months ago.. haha [yea.. haven had the time to update the rest of the trip.. but soon it'll come out]

so back to the story.. there wus this photo taken by force with their 'mysterious camera man' hiding at the side of the elephant trek on our elephant ride back at phuket [there's a lot of these mysterious photographer at tourist spot in Thailand. We both tot the pic look quite nice so we bought it as our sweet
memories *tahahaha sponge bob laugh* but somehow the photo dropped out of our sight when we checked out of Thantip villa... we only realize it when we got back kch that its not with us..
so we called up Thanthip Villa and checked if the photos's there.. the reception asked me to call back day after as they have to wait for the guess occupiying the room to checkout then only they can help us search the room again. So i called back day after after work and guess wud! they had it.. the housekeeping lady didn't throw it away!! it wus actually dropped between the side desk and the wall... and the housekeeping lady kept it well. i wus so happy the moment they say they had it .. so i emailed them my address and waited for the mail to arrive..

1 week pass.... 2 week pass... untill yesterday i had a flash of this incident over my mind wondering where's the mail.. did they really mail it to me?? did the postman misplace it?? Where did the mail went to???AND TODAY!!! after returning home from work justnow, my mom told me that You've got mail from Thailand!!! I've got mail~Guess Wud's inside!!
our photos!!! hahahaha so i quickly took pics of it and posted it up.



Million thanks to the team at Thanthip Villa for helping us.. it might be nothing for them but the photo means a lot for me and my dear for our 1st cross country trip.. thanks to the manager [who commision the post of the photo using registered mail], the reception [who keep in touch with us untill the photo was found], the house keeping lady [who cleaned our room, making 'flower' out of our randomly put cloths during stay time and most importantly not throwing away the photo] and other ppl involve in search of our photo at Thanthip Villa. Not only you have one of the best environment in town, the most important is your superb service to customer did not stop at the door step. Thankyou.






To be frank, Thanthip Villa is a very nice hotel located very near to the Patong beach at Phuket but slighthly apart from hussle and bussle of Patong which makes the surrounding peace and quiet. I would say its very suitable for groups of friends or family and especially couples. The ambience, standard, cleanliness of the hotel is exceptional, i like the warm hospitality that makes u feel like VIP regardless that we're staying at standard room. My stay at Thanthip Villa was an unforgettable one. I would recon this hotel if anyone wants to stay at Patong beach in Phuket island. *this is not an official ads but i'm just reviewing a little to express my gratitude.*
