After almost a year now when it last came out, Starbucks’ Red Bean Green Tea Frappuccino is back together with another Starbucks returning favorite – the well-loved Mocha Cookie Crumble Frap.
Starbucks Red Bean Green Tea Frappuccino
For the unfortunately unfamiliar, the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frap combines the goodness of Starbucks’ signature roast coffee and the classic Mocha Frappuccino® Blended Coffee. Add to that the lovely chocolate cookie bits.
Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble
It is made with rich mocha sauce, vanilla syrup, milk and ice, topped with chocolate whipped cream, chocolate drizzle and a dash of cookie crumble. Price starts at P170 for the tall size, P180 for grande, and P190 for venti.
Now, for my second all-time favorite (after Hojicha Tea Jelly)Â Red Bean Green Tea Frap blended beverage – it is your traditional finely-milled green tea called matcha combined with whole kernels of red azuki beans.
The invigorating combination of green tea with the sweet- savory azuki beans give this beverage a rich distinct flavor that will be loved by everyone from children to adults.
Starbucks Broccoli And Mushroom Quiche
It is slightly cheaper that the Mocha Cookie Crumble at  P160 for Tall, P170 for Grande, and P180 for Venti.
Starbucks Food Items
Starbucks also came up with new food items including the Blueberry- Licious Cheesecake, German Pretzel, Grandma’s Classic Meatloaf On Brioche Bread, and Broccoli And Mushroom Quiche.
However, so far, we were only able to try the Broccoli And Mushroom Quiche(P95). Flavorful and packed with eggs, the unsweetened pastry combination of mushrooms and broccoli did not disappoint.

The quiche goes well with both Starbucks returning favorite beverages mentioned above which are completely customizable as well. Make sure to try them soon as these beverage offering will last until July 14, 2013 only.
Today is the day – April 24, 2012 – when a gamut of new beverages, food items, and promos start at Starbucks Philippines. Coffee and frappuccino addicts as you are, you ought not be behind the news. Worry not as NomNom Club is here to make sure you are. 🙂
Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
1) Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino Blended Beverage (Coffee Based)
The Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino blended beverage is your favorite Starbucks Frappunccino roast coffee with chocolate cookie bits made richer with mocha sauce, and vanilla syrup. And as if that’s not enough, it is topped with chocolate drizzle on cookie crumble blended topping.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time Starbucks PH is offering chocolate whip cream.
It’s like a java chip frap with vanilla syrup. It can remind you of Wendy’s frostee as well. 😛
A yummy treat for the chocolate-loving coffee drinker!
* Tall P165, Grande P175, Venti P175
2) Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino Blended Beverage (Cream Based – Zero Coffee)
The same as number 1 above but is cream-based instead of coffee.
Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino
Something for the chocolate lover who wants a coffee alternative; maybe even for kids too. It’s just like your all-time favorite Magnolia Chocolaitwith cookie bits.
Did you know that you also have the option to ‘blend‘ your cream into the beverage (instead of ‘just on top’)?
* Tall P165, Grande P175, Venti P175
3) Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino Blended Beverage
Not really new, it’s more of a focus featured beverage highlighting the However-You-Want-It Frappuccino beverages.
It’s your favorite Strawberries and Cream frappuccino with the option for soy, non-fat milk, or your defualt whole milk.
* Tall P155, Grande P165, Venti P175
4) Sausage Pizza Roll (P95)
Replacing the current sausage roll, this flaky pastry is filled with a smoked frankfurter and cheese pizza sauce. A true comfort food that can easily satisfy that impulsive craving for a quick soft bite.
Don’t forget to have it warmed.

5) Fish and Chips Wrap (P150)
A filling wrap of fish fillet, herbed potato wedges, and dill mustard egg sauce. It’s big and enough to substitute for a full meal. If you’re wondering, the chips is inside. 😛

6) Chicken Grape Almond Salad on Classic Ciabatta Bread (P150)
Available in a Starbucks Philippines stores nationwide, this is a tangy sandwich of chicken, celery, roasted chopped almonds, sliced sundried tomatoes, and interestingly grapes, with lemon-mayo sauce and hints of tarragon and Emmenthal cheese sandwiched by crunchy Ciabatta bread.
My favorite made better with the twist of adding grape slices! It’s the anti-thesis of a boring food, there’s so much in every bite! 🙂

7) Cookie Crumble Cheesecake with Chips Ahoy (P130)
This is for the cheesecake and Chip Ahoy cookie lovers combined. The baked cheesecake is topped with chunky-chewy Chips Ahoy cookies + chocolate chips with a base / crust made of assorted crushed Chips Ahoy cookies.
However, it’s not type of cheesecake. I’m for the sinfully sweet, smooth, and soft ones.

8) Whoopie Pie (P75)
Whoops, it’s big! And the two bulging eyes seem to beg you not to eat them. 🙂
This redesigned returning favorite from last year is a sandwich of two fudgy dark chocolate cookie cakes filled with white roasted marshmallow cream icing and chocolate chips. At first, it looked like a really sweet treat that’s painful to the tooth but turned out just ok.
Whoopie Pie
Although it’s a bit pricey at P75, the fun factor, specially for the kids and kids-at-heart, makes up for it; somehow. lol
It’s cuteness would also have been multiplied by ten if it was just a quarter of its current size. Who knows, Starbucks Philippines might just come across this blog and have the mini Whoopie Pies next season. 🙂

9) Customizable Starbucks Tumblers: 16 oz. Cold Cup Tumbler (P550)
Twist and turn (step 1). Write (step 2). Erase (step 3). Those are the steps into ‘customizing‘ your ‘customizable‘ (woah!) new Starbucks Tumblers!
After the twist-and-turn, you could remove the outer cup and ‘write‘ your favorite Starbucks beverage label on the surface of inner cup. Common sense also suggests to use a non-permanent white board marker. If you think your favorite Starbucks beverage will not change, like forever, then feel free to use a permanent marker. 🙂
Customizable Starbucks Tumblers (How To)
So lets say that you’re as brilliant as I so you use a non-permanent marker, then you could easily erase it (step 3; pardon the watermark which blocked the ‘erasing’ action) with any tissue paper or cloth.
After which, you simply twist-back the outer cup and viola – give your labelled and customized Starbucks tumbler to your barista!
The Cold Cup tumbler is the one on Step 1 and Step 2A photos.
10) Customizable Starbucks Tumblers: 16 oz. Stainless Steel Tumbler (P1095)
Please see number 9, but you can have hot beverages in these! I want to have this one!
The Stainless steel tumbler is the one on Step 2B and Step 3 photos.
