Green and gratifying at Starbucks

IT is the holy month of Ramadan and soon celebrations will ensue. But while preparing for the upcoming festivity, Starbucks Malaysia has come up with light bites and delights that are perfect to indulge at “break fast”, enjoy with family and friends, even “ta-pow” to have at “sahur” or gift as “buah tangan” when visiting.

Whatever the case, there is always reason for a joyous occasion in multi-cultural Malaysia. And Starbucks has just the right ambience for a harmonious gettogether over a delightful menu.

In the spirit of the season, here are some of Starbucks’ line-up of Aidilfitri must-haves: Green Tea Almond Donut – A treat that bears the symbolic colours of Aidilfitri, the Green Tea Almond Donut is softly glazed in green tea made of white chocolate, and topped with a sprinkle of green tea powder and almond flakes. Pair it with the Starbucks Green Tea Latte and enjoy the perfect bitter-sweet combination. Peanut Butter Almond Donut – Glazed in creamy, pure peanut butter and white chocolate, and topped with almond flakes. This nutty combo is best paired with a cup of Starbucks’ signature Italian Roast or Caffe Verona beans, and sure to have you coming back for more.

Ondeh-Ondeh Muffin – Starbucks’ take on the local kuih is a returning favourite. The complementary pandan and coconut flavours, paired with rich gula melaka or palm sugar is sure to satisfy dessert lovers. Pack a take-away as you share this east-meets-west version with family and friends.

For those who practise green-ang pao giving, the Starbucks Aidilfitri Card makes a great alternative – beautifully crafted with a combination of patterns, layers and geometric shapes and designs that
