Melon Pan!

Shana telling you how to eat Melon Pan

This is a food post. I love food it is obvious with how my body is XD

I am a self confess Japanholic. This post is about that bread I first heard of the animated series called Shakugan no Shana. Melon Bread or melon pan is bread that smells and taste like melon. Based on series it looks like a normal bun on the top part you will see criss cross markings. I am not really sure how the original melon bread is made but we found one from a Japanese restaurant called JiPan Cafe and Bakeshop in Glorietta. However, when my partner ate it is contained no melon flavor nor cream. It contained raisins. So the search continues.

Just recently, my sibling went to Japan and they came home with MELON PAN! It was legit melon pan! The small was awesome and the cream I love it! I was sad that the only brought home two, one was the orange one and the other was green. I will get more if I can ever go back to Japan.

Here is what it looks like:




Have you ever wanted to eat something based on Anime or manga?

Still new to the world of Starbucks



Wow this is the second time I got something free. I have a Starbucks card I got it registered before my birthday. Apparently there is this perk to registering the card. One is you get a free tall handmade drink if your choice and you get a free cake slice on your birthday when you buy any handmade drink. So today, I redeemed my cake slice, lol after almost 2 months XD

Lo and behold after I have loaded my card, Mari the cashier showed me one long receipt. She asked if I was aware about what that receipt was about, I told her, "No" as I'm not really fond of buying coffee from Starbucks (I just really wanted the planner last year and the card). She told me that I just have to answer an online survey about the whole Starbucks experience (One Ecom Branch) and I have the chance for another free tall drink.

This this the receipt with the instructions on how you
can open the link to the survey page.
Good job, Starbucks now this is really random. I got this last Saturday. This was the first time I ever bought anything from this branch of Starbucks. Mari was surprised and told me that I was really lucky. Next let's

talk about the experience. I liked the fact that for the free cake slice, you can to pick from the cake you like as long as it's available. At that time the ones they have was Strawberry Pistachio Cake, Cookies and Cream Cheesecake with Oreo and New York Cheesecake. I was thinking about getting Cookies and Cream Cheesecake with Oreo, coz its cookies, cream and Oreo, but decided to get Strawberry Pistachio Cake, it seems to be their feature food. This was Mari's suggestion too, it was funny how it felt like she read my mind.

Strawberry Pistachio Cake
I think it was a good choice. I like the strawberry part it tasted fresh and not just flavoring or pink coloring. I worked well with my Iced Caramel Macchiato and I say I will be back for more XD

Sorry Chew you are late the cake is all gone

Oh if you want to see here is the end of the online survey:

You should see a 5 digit code, you will need that to get you free drink



No I am not an endorser for them but I'm open to the idea XP
