[#OrioleTalk] Coffee tasting + afternoon tea at Oriole Coffee

Image
Oriole Coffee  was founded in 2008, and they recently set up their second outlet at the Capitol Piazza . My clique and I signed up for # OrioleTalk - Coffee Tasting Session at this very same outlet at the  Capitol Piazza . The session was lead by a very nice man, Mr Casey Blanche , who is a Master Roaster. We were the first few people who got to try out 4 new different coffee flavors which they are intending to launch.  Apart from the sampling, we also learnt on how to taste the difference types of coffee, as well as getting a brief historical rundown on coffee lore! The session lasted for about 45 minutes, and we stayed on for afternoon tea after the session ended! I love the Waffles Mi'so very much! As the name implies, this dessert combines soft slices of waffles, vanilla ice-cream, crunchy white chocolates coated pecans as toppings with a Miso/Caramel dipping sauce!  ...

Since the launch Cafe Asia and International Coffee & Tea Industry Expo in 2013, the shows have served as a springboard for local and international industry players. Of course, I noticed that the shows have become bigger each year with new exhibitors around the wor...

[REVIEW] Food tasting at Pies & Coffee

Image
Pies & Coffee is a specialist of handcrafted gourmet pies with buttery, short-crust pastries, that present a greater dining experience that extends beyond the enjoyment of pies!    I love the entrance of Pies & Coffee which is located at Rochester Mall , so when Meryl extended her invite to me to the media tasting at Pies & Coffee , I got so excited over it. During the tasting, I was introduced to not only their signature, but their new launch of savory hot meals.   We started off with New England Clam Chowder Soup , and I love the rich texture. It tasted very flavorful and complemented very well with the crusty bread bowl.   The Lobster Bisque Baked Rice is a well-prepared dish as it needs about 6 hours to prepare.   The best-selling, Beef Cheek is my favorite pick of the night. The beef chunks tasted fabulous and each piece of tender meat went well with the pie crust.   Barbecue Chicke...
