my version of coffee joint reviews

i do taste tests on their ice-blended chocolate drinks and cheesecakes:)
well..someone has to drink something besides coffee

1. places where i've drunk ice chocolate
- coffee bean:) the 'pure chocolate ice-blend' is my fav pick-me-up anytime. there is abt a 6/10 chance i would buy a cup if i walk past a shop. there was a point in my life when i got rather addicted to them - drank them like at least once a week till i realised the damage its was doing to my pocket. the drink is thick and chocolately with a generous dose of whipped cream[oh the artery-clogging fats]. service is good across outlets and my only grouse is the recent increase in prices.

- TCC

- starbucks

- coffee club. between the 'ice chocolate' and the 'chocolate milkshake' i prefer the latter. its deliciously creamy with a scoop of chocolate ice cream to add to the decadence. this drink comes in as my favourite treat when im in the mood for spending money. it isnt that expensive but the whole sitting down in a cafe place plus a customary slice of cheesecake [more abt it later] ups the whole "fake tai tai - fai fai?" factor.

-coffeeclub express. the coco freeze rivals that of coffeebean although its more cocoa-ly - nosebleed inducing 'heatiness'. perhaps the only outlet remianing [rest have been converted to coffeeclub cafes] is in nus which serves cheaper and hence substandard versions of the drink. so i usually buy only if i really need a cuppa to perk the day/fill the tummy before heading home.

2. cheesecake places
-coffeebean

-gelare.

-gloria jean's. its uber big a slice at $5.50 each making it rather reasonably priced. really cheesy - as in real creamy cheesy. slightly weird cirtus tasting base that has somesort of gelatinous jelly infused in it. perhaps the only problem would be the fact that one finishes up being totally over-stuffed.

-coffeeclub. great great cheesecake there. i have it nearly everytime i visit an outlet. helped that for a while there was this great offer of "buy 1 cake and get the 2nd free". i visited various outlets a couple of times to enjoy it. but since then the offer is over and at 6 bucks per cake its rather expensive so i havent really been eating it since. indulgences are still as only as good as the money required to pay for them i guess

so there..my little version of a coffee joint review. items which have no short write-up basically means that there is nothing really much to write abt it - its normal and less fantastic compared to the others. and for the record..this post was inspired by erica when she laughed at me for having no appreciation for coffee although i visit coffee joints fairly often [averaging maybe once a month].
