Starbucks finally opened in Vietnam!

02.10.2013 by Leah //

Starbucks opened its FIRST store in Vietnam – the country with a unique coffee drinking culture – last February 1, 2013.

My friend Pia, who works there, braved the long line of people who waited for the store’s opening   =)

Pia is in Manila right now and we met up yesterday at TWG Tea Salon for a belated birthday celebration and she handed me these as birthday gifts:  Starbucks country mug(!!!) and Trung Nguyen coffee beans(!!!!).

I LOVE Starbucks and all their signature coffee beans, but the Trung Nguyen coffee challenged my coffee taste buds when I tried it, coffee-drip style, last year.   It’s a bit too strong for a coffee but that’s it charm, I guess.

And in case you haven’t noticed, I already have affiliate links to the Starbucks products at the sidebar.  Check them out!  It thrilled me to find my application (through Linkshare) approved because I really am a Starbucks addict =)

Have a good Sunday, everyone!  It’s the first day of the Chinese New Year so start it right and with a positive vibe to attract all good blessings!

We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes an We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes and french toast of @grampancakesph without going out - thanks to @grabfoodph ! I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
