less than one cup of coffee in my country

Local coffee in the hawker centres is about $2 currently, but the prices have gone up from before - used to be $1.50 for awhile. Same with the sets in Ya Kun - prices hv shot up with the third wave coffee culture here, catching up to the prices in Europe/US/ME. For non-specialty coffee, that’s a bit much cos local coffee is supposed to be accessible to the masses. Hence the gripe.

Yes, in Terminal 2. I don’t remember the name but it sells Singaporean items for tourists. Comes as a two-pack for about $20 if I recall correctly.

Hmmm... I feel like I've been to other airports that have the security checks at the gates, but normally those are just EXTRA checks because the airline might require it due to the destination country. Extra checks have happened for me e.g. in Fiji, Ecuador, Argentina, etc. when I've been flying out of them.

Yep, I got that in Argentina with the smaller airports but the international ones typically don’t unless like you said for special reasons.

@kingpin Aw, two of my favourite MLs in that pic! 🤩

 

Gao Wei Guang as Dong Hua Di Jun is still the undisputed benchmark for white/silver long locks. He's the fairest even if his hair is styled so simply, and his robes are devoid of elaborate accessories or print. I've yet to see someone in C-ent who looks as good and can elegantly wear purple like he does as DHDJ in his signature colour.

True. Even that previously 2dh McDonald's coffee is now 8dh. 😬 You'd have much more luck finding lesser priced tea here than coffee.

 

Yes, please tell me why the coffee in the ME is so expensive? I have found that Kuwait is the only country with fairly moderate coffee prices.

Nah chingu, go to KW if you want decent coffee for a decent price. And the shopping's pretty good too. Especially in The Avenues. Bring comfy shoes though 'cause it's huge.

I'd drink all coffee I need before going out 😆 I also always wear comfy foot wear when I do the shopping.

 

Dunno why others would still choose to wear fashionable but not comfy in the long run shoes if they wanna do some shopping with plenty of walking - and then I'd hear them complaining they got feet blisters. 🙄

I wonder how'd the animated Trillion Game compare with the live action drama and the upcoming movie on 2025, and if the BGM and OST would be just as good (and goofy).

 

It's animated by Kadokawa (also did My Happy Marriage), so I'm excited with the soundtrack. 

 

Anime trailer reminds a lot of the 1st ep TG drama 😅

Chingu, I never drink coffee from Starbucks or McD. Some of these burn their coffee beans while roasting, making it quite bitter - and I don't particularly like it. Coffee roasting is similar in Australia and I just do not care for it. Thank goodness for flat whites where you don't have the coffee taste so strong.

 

Unless there is no other option available I will stay away from these generic coffee chains. It blows my mind that e.g. Jamaica which grows one of the best coffees in the world (Blue Mountain coffee), would only have Starbucks available in their airports. 🤯 If you guys ever have a chance to try some Blue Mountain coffee, do. It's amazing. It has NO bitterness, and is super balanced.

 

You get a lot of different varieties of coffee in the ME (am no expert, I just travel there from time to time). I found the Arabic coffee on the peninsula to match my taste. It is light in color and has cardamom and saffron in it. It's quite fragrant and people drink it with something sweet (chocolate, dates, etc). I like it.

I mean, I just don't understand why she cannot let this go? Why is she trying to hunt down the ex-gf and demand her to change what she wrote about the breakup. If the ex-gf said that she broke up in November with the dude, then that's the ex-gf's truth. Talk to your current boyfriend instead.

 

This girl is destroying her own career at the moment. Even her agency refused to comment and just apologized instead. They must be so frustrated too. Wouldn't be surprised if they decide to drop her.

He did that so well in PA. 😅 He's one of the best in acting really, though he might not be one of the more popular ones in dramas cos he's acting more in movies. 

 

They're called Gege if they're elder (to you) in age, while Didi/Xiao Gege if younger.

 

About coffee, McD's is convenient when no others that offer coffee are open while still out and about after 1am. I like mine dark roast and strong, and fortunately there are many to choose from in the stores.

I've seen posts that November 2023 was the official announcement of break up, but as early as Feb 2023 they're not together anymore and he didn't even attend his ex's birthday. Perhaps that's why the present is so irked? There's no overlap; the netizens are just way too condescending as they lambast her.

Eonni @partyon you like Kahwa ?

 

 

i love it too, it is soo soothing.

Brings back memories being in Saudi. Major missing !

We do get it in powder form (tea packet) but it lacks the Kahwa's authentic taste.

 

Which is your favourite middle east country ?

I visited Qatar last year and am in love with that little, calm , clean country (though expenses are quite high compared to KSA).

And Qatar have given me a spark to visit other ME countries too !

Now rest of them are in my bucket list, which includes Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain,UAE

 

Apart from them i really wish to have a trip to Kashmir too....

LEMME VENT MY THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER HERE Eonni @partyon

 

Okay

She doesnt appeal to me right from the beginning , i donno why (way before the scandal)

My brother really liked "My Name" and he kept insisting me to watch it, but i couldnt since she was lead , no idea why dont like her though.

 

As for RJY, his acting was good, and thats reason he WAS in my "Oppas list".

 

Didnt like Hyeri in Reply 1988, but her acting improved over the years, and she became an actress whose dramas that i look forward.

 

As for the Scandal

I know each person has their own way of moving on, and each of us survive differently.

 

Hyeri was impulsive !

She shouldnt have posted a cryptic mssg , as she is a person who is in the industry for long, knows very well how things would turn out.

But looking it from here shoes, 7 years is indeed long, and the fact that he moved on easily while she was "expecting" to give it another try might have hurt her. But is she too naive when 4 months he havent contacted her at all and she still expects from him ? Girl things are clear here, somethings need not need words always ! ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS ! 

 

But again sometimes emotions can cloud judgements,leading to hopeful expectations despite clear signs

 

YOU HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO , I KNOW MOVING IS HARD , BUT HANG IN THERE , THIS TOO SHALL PASS, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH IT.

 

She loves Hawaii alot, and she often says abt it too that she has s special place for hawaii in her heart and in some posts ppl said she wish to tavel with RJY to Hawaii but couldnt or something and the fact that just 4 months they had a trip to "hawaii" of all the places (coincident though) might have hurt her even more. (Just my thoughts).

But the girl apologized and thats it.

 

What's wrong with HSH ? Seriously i could get her that she is facing alot of criticizm and blacklash and even to her family and her upbringing, it must be hard for her to go through all of this 

But why does she wanna drag hyeri again into this ? Hyeri's post was clearly towards RJY and not her ! Why does she had react to it ? And that too over and over again !

She needs some lesson on self control !

At this rate she is damaging her own image and disappointing the ppl who root for her !

 

As for RJY - i have no comment towards him.

This claim was refuted. Apparently Hyeri didn't have a birthday party in 2023 because she was off filming smth.

Both Hyeri and the dude gave out statements in August 2023 that they were still together and that it was not true that they had broken up.

 

@4evrkdrama dongsaeng, I agree with a lot a of the things you wrote about this matter.

This is so sad tbh.

 

My thoughts about it this whole thing (I am just basing them on what has been written, I don't know the full truth):

 

Being together for 7 years is a long time. It's clear that breaking up might not be easy. From Hyeri's perspective they met in Nov 2023, and there were talks of them trying maybe once more. They released the statement that they had broken up.That's Hyeri's truth.

Was she holding on to false hope, especially since he didn't contact her anymore after that? Probably, but again, it's not easy sometimes to move on. These types of things should not have been said by the other party if he didn't mean it and he really wanted to move on. Then he should have made a clean break and said he wants to date other women. From what it looks like, he kept her hanging on (maybe keeping her on the back burner if things with the next woman wouldn't work out)?

 

FF to the scandal, and Hyeri's initial post. It's clear that she was surprised. Probably because she still was holding out hope and the dude had not told her. It's clear she acted impulsively when she posted. She directed it at her ex-bf though.

 

HSH posts a pic of a dog holding a knife and directs her post at her boyfriend's ex-gf.

Lots of things ensue, Hyeri apologizes for being rash with her actions and explains her point of view and the timeline.

 

Then we get another scandal, thanks to Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron. Things quiet down.

 

Looks like HSH still can't let it go that people think she's in a "transit relationship" even though everyone's already forgotten about it.

 

It is absolutely weird that she's still "harassing" Hyeri after all of this. The ex-gf has NO OBLIGATION to be in contact with the new gf.

 

I think this post on pannchoa, pretty well summed up how a lot of people are seeing her latest post:

 

 

source: [theqoo] COMPARING HYERI AND HAN SOHEE'S IG POSTS (pannchoa.com)

 

Sorry, but HSH is looking really unhinged acting like this. No wonder a lot of people are commenting online that she should be working on her impulse control and her insecurities.

Yep, the blue is nice - creamy and not too acidic. I find it fairly similar to the Kenyan SL28 beans that I like a lot. Panama Geisha is very good too but only those from specific farms like La Esmeralda, Elida Estate. If you like citrusy bergamot, this is your coffee

 

Qahwa tastes like tea but trifle bitter. But again, it depends on who is making it. 
 

Only coffee I find rather different is Kona…super mild. 
 

Justice is done to good beans if drunk as a pour over by a barista who knows what he/she is doing. 
 

But I get that sometimes when you’re in a hurry and need caffeine, wherever the cup comes from is gold. Kekeke.

I don't think I've tried these. I generally like Central American coffee more than Asian, Southern American or African coffees. My favorite coffee producing countries are for sure Guatemala and Honduras. Hands down the countries I've had the best coffee in. You can get the best coffee in the world on the side of the road from some guy selling coffee from his coffee truck. Or just stopping by any local café in e.g. Antigua.

I have found coffee roasters that bring in organic coffee from these countries, so am a big consumer of those.

 

In which way do you like to prepare / drink your coffee?
