Starbucks Drive-thru Setia Tropika, Malaysia

Drove across the Malaysia causeway in the morning to look at the first drive-thru Starbucks in Johor, Malaysia. It's located in a newly open housing estate.

They were giving out car-decal for drive-thru customer since November (heard this from Malaysia Starbucks lover in facebook) but have apparently run out of it when i enquire with the staff. What a disappointment! I didn't expect it to ran out that fast cosidering that this is a quiet enironment. Wonder when they will replenish their stock?

Have a cup of Peppermint Mocha, enjoying the quiet environment while i read the morning papers.

Malaysia is having a promotion from Nov. 9th till Jan. 15th 2011 where you can get a 2011 planner after you have accumulated 12 stamps in a little booklet. You can one stamp for every grande size handcrafted beverages order.

Drove down to Aeon Tebrau - a shopping complex to do some shopping and to have my second cup of coffee of the day at Starbuck. This time I try the Toffee Nut Mocha.

Comparing both, I prefer the peppermint as it have a much nicer taste but my favourite is still Dark Cherry Mocha which is not available in Malaysia.

Singapore Starbucks Passport

Way before Singapore released the Starbucks card, there was this promotion in 2009 called the 'Starbucks Passport'.

The passport entitle a consumer to enjoy six beverages at only $29.90. This work out to having six drink for the price of five. The only drawback is that you need to pay upfront and is only valid for two month from the day of purchase. This card will be kept by the store upon completion of the six drinks. 

I have attaced here a sample card that was given to me by one of the store manager.

Christmas Card

Starbucks released their second card, the Christmas version yesterday (11th November).
