Caramelicious

My fellow comrade, who happens to love food and beverages like I do, saw a blog post of mine regarding Nescafe's French Vanilla flavored coffee. He told me about how Nescafe's Caramelicious is more delicious compared to the French Vanilla. "There are three varieties of flavor," he said, "and my favorite is the Caramelicious. It has been accompanying me ever since I continued my studies in Bandung, up until now.". He promised to buy one for me to taste, and he kept his promise.

Yesterday, I received the coffee carton. It was red in color, with eye-catching writings of "Nescafe" and "Caramelicious" written on it. "It's best if you drink it when it's cold because it tastes more bitter when it's in room temperature," he said whilst giving me the promised item. 

It was at around 10 PM when I received the coffee. Drinking coffee at night makes me all fidgety and anxious, not to mention trouble in falling asleep and messy bowel movement in the morning, so I kept it in my food cabinet here in my barrack and saved it for breakfast this morning. 

The coffee was not cold, but I drank it nonetheless. True, what my friend said, about the drink tastes more bitter when it's in room temperature. But, it didn't lessen the delicious sweet caramel flavor. It was not as creamy as the French Vanilla - in fact, it tasted a wee bit like a cup of coffee with too much watter in it, all bitter and slightly flavorless - but I enjoyed every sip of it.

All in all, Nescafe's Caramelicious would definitely complete your daily dose of caramel needs with its' combination of sweet and bitter flavor. Yet, if I have to choose between French Vanilla or Caramelicious, I would definitely go for the French Vanilla because I like it better than this one.

P.S. Thank you for the treat, Ressa! I'm looking forward to taste another favorite drink of yours. :D

Vanilla Surprise

I was sitting at the duty office with my fellow duty cadets last night when he popped out from behind the wall and gave a waving gesture with his hand telling me to come to him. "Who, me," I asked inaudible, pointing my finger to my face. He nodded in agreemet.

"What's up," I asked him. Whilst smiling, he handed me a pocket size carton of Nescafe, French Vanilla flavor. Overwhelmed by the fact that I received something unexpected, I made sure that the latte was actually for me. Still smiling, he said, "It's for your night shift duty tonight," then he turned and headed to his barrack. 

"Wait," I shouted.

He stopped and turned back to me. "Did you just go all the way up here just to give me this coffee," I asked, which was then replied with a "Yup!" and "Best of luck with your night shift." And just that, he waved goodbye and went back to his barrack, leaving me with a carton of latte on my hand and a big smile on my face. :)
