Okay remember I told you guys that I was going for Coffee Tasting @ Starbucks Precinct 88, well, first of all, I had tons of fun getting to know "The Gang" and it was also great fun being able to attend my first ever coffee tasting event..with the rest of the bloggers. Thanks to Timothy for inviting me. I had fun :)
Starbucks, Precinct 88 was really nice. It reminded me of the one in Kota Kinabalu :) erm erm the one at Warisan Square (I think - If I'm not mistaken) I liked the design as usual and it was quite cosy ^___^v
Anyway, I also had invited Sharon along with me. as I was kinda shy going for the event as well as I was to meet the Gang [ Anna, Rose, Eve, Johnston, Frankie, Paul, Mike, Gary and the rest!) for the first time. When I got there, I met up with Sharon and we proceeded to the top part of Starbucks.

Four Steps of Coffee Tasting.
1. Smell (smells really awesome!)
2. Slurp (eeeeewwwwww - bitter! -___-")
3. Locate the Experience (on the different sides of your tongue)
4. Create a coffee description-besides being bitter lah
(sweet, tangy, nutty, fruity/citrus-y, floral)
Describing Coffee.
1. AROMA(exp:coffee)- earthy spicy floral nutty
2. ACIDITY(exp:orange) - different coffee different acidity.
3. BODY (exp:milk)- Light , Medium, Full.
4. FLAVOUR - citrus, cocoa, berries.

[to be eaten with the blackforest cake]

Khairul giving out the goody bags! Haha ^____^v
[although I was expecting more..but am thankful]
the goodies.
100grams of sumatra coffee beans,
and a buy 1 free 1 voucher :)))
[p/s: coffee beans should always be grind just before making coffee out of them. the water temperature should be "off-the-boil" den your coffee would taste extra great! ^___^v]
...and I learnt alot! but I don't think I'll work as a barista. I mean to have to do coffee tasting 3 times a day!! If you LOVE coffee to the MAX den maybe you should but if not..better not. I'd rather have mine served ----> Mocha Frappucino w Extra Extra Whipping Cream! *slurps tongue!* I had fun!! :)))
