How I used my HSBC birthday present

Remember my little birthday present from HSBC? How did I spend it? Well, here's how...

I went to genting on my bday and decided to use the HSBC StarBucks birthday cash voucher and the HSBC RM 10 StarBucks Coffee Gift Certificate? there.

For the birthday cash voucher, they required me to show them my HSBC card and I need to write down my name and my phone number at the back of the voucher. I got a cup of coffee and also a slice of cake, they let me choose any cake I want!

A cup of coffee, not really nice lar..

forgot what cake is this, but it's nice!

FL's drink

McCafe - the mcDonald which sells only coffee but no burgers!

I think our place here still doesn't this, McCafe @ Stanley Market (赤柱). It's actually Mcdonald but instead of selling burger, they sell coffee!! They wanted to make it look like Star bucks / Coffee Bean but when you stepped in, one part is selling coffee (the seats are more comfortable) and the other part is selling burgers. Ppl eating burger can come sit here and ppl drinking coffee can order burger. hehe..

McCafe

Ice Blended Caramel Coffee

(sorry, can't remember the name, :p)

My cafe mocha, looks nice right?

taste quite good too..

Ice tea, nice!!

It's approximately HKD 10++ per cup, so if you converted to RM, it's actually cheaper than those in Star bucks or Coffee bean. The coffee really not bad lar, but in terms of environment, still cannot compete with star bucks / coffe bean.

Hot weather! Let's have a coconut!!

I was in Penang last weekend. The weather was so hot there. Due to the hot weather, FL's brother decided to bring us to this place to have a coconut. So where's this place? When I asked him this question, he said he DON'T KNOW!! haha.. He knows how to get there but he doesn't know what that place call, so i can't tell you where the place either. All I know is from this place you can see this..

I can see the Penang Plaza from this angle. So if you know where's this place is, you let me know lar.. Here's the place we have the coconut..

Anba Coconut Trading Sdn Bhd
(Pemborong Kelapa Muda & Tua)
hehe, sounds pro right!!

see.. lot's of coconut.

white board with price
normal coconut - RM 1.50 each
better coconut (sweeter) - RM 2.20 each

we took the sweeter coconut, RM 2.20 each

they will first open up a small hole
for you to drink the coconut water.
when u're done, bring over the coconut
to let them cut into half so that you
can eat the flesh.

besides cutting the coconut into half,
they will also chop a portion of the coconut,
what is that for?

see, you pull it out and ..

use this as a
spoon to eat the flesh.
a very good idea right?
so clever lar them!!

So if you happen to go to Penang someday, and you happen to know where's this place. hehe.. go over and try it out yourself lar!!

What is NesLo?

C: hey, what's NesLo?
J: Har? you mean the drink nesLo?
C: ya ya, what's that?
J: wow, you really don't know? dun bluff lar..
C: serious la, what's tat?
J: neslo is Nescafe + Milo lor, when you mixed it together, then it's neslo la!!!
C: oo...

When my friend asked me what is neslo, i really thought he's bluffing. Everyone knows neslo wat, don't you? hehe.. Anyway, then i found out, if you seldom drink nescafe, or milo or all the hot sweet stuff, you probably won't know what is neslo.

For those that do not know how to make a cup of neslo, let me tell you how. First add half teaspoon of nescafe, then followed by 2 teaspoons of milo. If you prefer milo more, then add more milo, if you prefer nescafe more, then add more nescafe. :p If you add more milo, you probably don't need to add sugar or milk as it's sweet enough.

As for Kenny Rogers, their coffee mocha, is actually neslo! So now you know what's neslo la!!

Ipoh White Coffee @ Kedai Kopi Sun Yoon Loong

Ipoh is well known of it's delicious food. When we talked about Ipoh, the first thing that you can think of is probably the famous 'nga choy gai' (chicken with bean sprout) and dim sum. Actually besides these, there are some other things that are very nice too. Like wat? White coffee!!

the old town ('gao gai cheong')
旧街场
there are a lot of coffee shop here,
which is the best?

this is the best, the corner shop,
Kedai Kopi Sun Yoon Loong
新源隆茶室
(see the copy cat shop beside or not?
the name almost the same wor..)

see, full house!! no matter what time
you go, it's always full house.

the white coffee, RM 1.30
hmm, it smells really good,
i do not know how to describe how good,
it's totally different from those 3 in 1 white coffee,
and it's also different from the one u had in oldtown white coffee,
you just have to go drink it yourself!

I love the fry 'lo bak gou' or in ipoh they called it 'chao kuih' by an uncle with a bike in front of the coffee shop. Too bad the uncle was not there the other day...Don't miss the white coffee ya if you go to Ipoh, remember, this is the best shop, don't go to the wrong shop!!

Ms. Q gave me this

except the one from Ipoh, the real one.. hehe,
other than that, I don't really like.

cos i feel that the one i made taste better.
hahahahaha.... :p
It's quite a big packet, about RM 1 per packet.
Let's see how it taste..

i did not add a lot of water.
It doesn't seems to smell strong,
how it taste? hmm, not bad though, a bit sweet,
but the coffee taste is there.
so far this is the best 3 in 1 white coffee i've
ever tasted! If you are fond of white coffee,
try this out!!
