Celebrate Singapore's 50th With A Starbucks Birthday Frappuccino Treat ~

Hi Huneybees,

Have you heard? Starbucks today pushed out a brand new promotion in light of Singapore's 50th Birthday Celebration to rejoice in the celebration mood with the nation. Being the ardent supporter of Starbucks Coffee, of course I needed to join in and grab myself a cuppa of the Birthday Frappuccino.

Having opened more than 100 stores in Singapore within 19 years, Starbucks have launched this new drink to celebrate this momentous milestone and express their gratitude to the nation for having them as part of the Singapore journey, creating history together.

From 3^rdAugust to 11^th August, between 3 pm to 7 pm, you can treat yourselves to a Venti-sized Birthday Frappuccino at $5, T&Cs apply.

The Birthday Frappuccino is my ideal birthday cake mix, bursting with all signs of sweet happiness, with Vanilla crème, dashes of hazelnut and smooth panna cotta. This is just the right drink to give yourself a pat for working so hard these past few months! 

This is the first time I have my drink with whipped cream, coz it has been infused with raspberry flavour and without it, it just feels like something is missing. *Well, at most just eat more veggie and run for a few more rounds right?*

More Singaporean Themed Promotions...

Singapore Skyline Tumbler

As part of the celebration, get for yourself or your loved ones a Singapore Skyline tumbler for just $25.90. The new tumbler captures the modern Singapore skyline, from shophouse to skyscraper, and is the perfect memento to remember Singapore’s Golden Jubilee for years to come.

Supporting Our Local Talent: Nicholas Tan

Supporting local talents and artists has always been what Starbucks strongly advocates. In the month of August, we are honored to have Singaporean singer-songwriter Nicholas Tan’s second album, New Normal, sold at our counters island-wide for just $10.

So, be sure to set your alarms and grab yourselves a cup of the Starbucks Birthday Frappuccino for tea-break tomorrow! :)
