Shop Review - Coffee Assist The2

My new favorite go-to coffee shop at the moment is Coffee Assist The2 at Samyan area. It is a cozy little place to spend your time in. The reason why I like Coffee Assist The2 is because its decorations are really unique, it has not only drinks, but also foods, and it is a great place for studying. The prices of their menus aren't cheap it but isn't that expensive either.

Firstly, most coffee shops you see (Starbucks, True Coffee, etc.) are designed to be really simple and modern. But in Coffee Assist The2, all furnishings and adornments give a vintage look. When you sit down on the flower-patterned sofa, it feels like you are at home in your own living room, comforted and relaxed. 

Secondly, Coffee Assist The2 allows you to drink and eat at the same time. It has a variety of menus, from Italian food all the way to Thai. Let alone cuisines, it even has desserts such as cupcakes, brownies, crepe cake and etc. This place has everything you need in order to fill your stomach.

Lastly, because Coffee Assist The2 is a really comfortable shop, it is the perfect place to read, work, and revise for exams and quizes. The lighting is just enough to support your eyes, and the surroundings are ideal; not too noisy or crowdy. You could just sit down, turn on your laptop, open your book, and get started with your first step in getting an A for your assignment.

In conclusion, I highly recommend you to give Coffee Assist The2 a try, you won't regret. It provides you extraordinary decorations, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it is a place where you can focus on what you're doing.

Food Review - Onigiri

Onigiri is a Japanese food that is (normally) a triangular-shaped riceball wrapped with seaweed. There are a variety of fillings, my favorite one is salmon. Salmon onigiri is one of my top on-the-go foods as it is convenient and appretizing.

Onigiris contains nothings else besides the riceball itself and a layer of plastic to cover it up. It can be consumed instantly after removing the plastic. For me it is considered as one of the easiet "grab and go" meals, it is not messy and will not leave stains on your clothes in case you drop some. 

Onigiris might contain only around three ingredients, but the taste is a lot richer than what it sounds. The slight bit of crunchiness of the seaweed combines flawlessly with the tint of sweetness from the rice. It's like eating a sushi, except it is bigger, and is wrapped with seaweed.

In conclusion, onigiris are a great menu to have when you're in a hurry due to how simple it is to consume, and it doesn't taste bad at all. Onigiris could be found at almost anywhere, 7-eleven, commarts' canteen, and u-center for instance.

Snack Review - Craisins

Ocean Spray's Craisins, dried cranberries, has recently became a must have snack to keep in my bag. It tastes good, it is healthy, and most important of all, it is fat-free. This is a much option to snack on than potato chips, chocolates, icecream, and etc. 

Firstly, this snack might look like raisins, but it is not. In my opinion, I think it tastes alot better. The tint of sweetness combined with the sour taste gives a confused deliciousness. Normally when you think of healthy snacks, it will remind you of foods that wont fulfill your cravings. This healthy snack is an exception. 

Secondly, what's the first thing that pops up to your head when you hear the word "snack"? For me, it is nothing but junk food that tastes amazing. It will normally be bad for you, but because Craisins is made from pure cranberries, it is actually a good snack.

Lastly, this snack does not make you gain weight. In moderation, the snack is not fattening. It is really hard to find finger foods that wont add inches to your waist, and this is one of the rare ones. For those who are watching their weight, this is the perfect option.

In conclusion, this could be a goto snack for a lot of people. It is appetizing, it is good for your body, and it does not make you put on weight. I would recommend everyone to try it, it's one of a kind.
