I am pretty sure many would agree that Starbucks is the most famous and everyone’s favourite café. From the coffee to the pastries and desserts, the cafe never fails to please their customers. I personally love Starbucks (my favourite is Chai Latte and the Almond Croissant).
Apart from their food and beverages offerings, they also sell their own merchandise and often collaborate with other brands, coming up with new lifestyle goods for their customers.
Starbucks X FILA
The most current and ongoing collaboration is Starbucks and FILA launching their Starbucks x FILA Collection. Starbucks has also launched several new menu items in commemoration of the upcoming National Day on August 9th, 2021. This is an exclusive collaboration of sporty street style essentials, combining fashion, function and on-trend design.
These items are available in both physical stores and in the Starbucks Flagship Store on LazMall and Shopee Mall. You can expect a wide range of sports and lifestyle products, perfect not only for the sports enthusiasts but for almost everyone!
Products
There are several types of bags offered in the collection. These bags include the Bucket Bag ($45.90), Carryall Bag ($39.90), Mesh Bag ($55.90), Tote ($35.90) and Pouch ($25.90). Apart from bags, there are also water bottles and coffee cups.
Some of which include their Traveller Mug ($39.90), Cold Cup ($34.90), Water Bottle ($52.90) and Tumbler ($49.90). Other products also include Reusable Straws (from $9.90) and ID Lanyard ($25.90).
All products are designed with the FILA’s trademark stripes and colours such as red, blue and white. For those who are big fans of FILA, you might want to get your hands on these products as they look absolutely stunning.
National Day SHIOK! Food
It is pretty sad that we cannot really celebrate our nation’s birthday like how we used to before COVID hit. However, we can still express our love for the nation and celebrate National Day from the comfort of our own home.
Starbucks has recently launched their SHIOK! Food, specially created to celebrate our nation’s birthday. There are several new menu items to indulge in, infused for Singapore’s iconic flavours. You can expect delicious cakes and new beverages up for grabs!
Beverage and Pastry
If you love a little caffeine to celebrate, try their Shiok-ah-ccino (from $8.50). This new beverage is a combination of Coffee and hojicha tea blended with ice, milk and chocolate chips. It is then topped with fluffy whipped cream and a merlion bearista chocolate topper!
Pair your Shiok-ah-ccino with their Curry Meatless Chicken Pie ($7.20) made with HARVEST GOURMET meatless, potato and curry, topped with a lattice pie crust. This is such a great option for a light brunch too!
Cakes
There are a total of four cakes ($7.50) featured in SHIOK! Food. Try the Mango Sago Cake which is layers of moist mango sponge and mango sago mousse. It is topped with chunks of fresh mango and sago pearls.
I remember always purchasing the Milo dinosaur back in secondary school. It is such an iconic drink among Singaporeans. Good for us as Starbucks has also introduced their Milo Dinosaur Cheesecake. It is made with a fluffy chocolate sponge centre with a malty Milo cream cheese mix, finished off with cookie crumbles – pure malty goodness.
Another cheesecake that is infused with iconic Singapore flavours is the Ondeh Ondeh Cheesecake. It is a perfect combination of pandan, gula melaka and coconut in a delectable cheesecake. Finally, try their Orh Nee Cake, consisting of layers of soft sponge layered with taro yam paste and coconut cream.
These cakes are definitely worth the try – if you ask me. They look extremely delicious, and I am pretty sure they are just as scrumptious as they look.
I am pretty excited to get my hands on some of the Starbucks x FILA Collection items and try the new menu items from Starbucks, created to celebrate National Day.
