I think it was when we had breakfast at Quality Hotel, KL..and we were served with roasted coffee. Then, I started having this craze for good coffee. I always remind myself to make a distinction between coffee, kopi, Nescafe. To some people Nescafe is coffee. Not for me though. Nescafe tastes yucky (cheh\u2026berlagak..tu la yang hang minum dulu). &amp; when I am making reference to \u201ckopi\u201d that\u2019s kopi Malay style\u2026that black, sweet coffee.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-OHd8WW0yY4g\/TrB00BEgl4I\/AAAAAAAAA2s\/KTQ66KCm5cE\/s1600\/SAM_0876.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px;text-align: center;cursor: pointer;width: 400px;height: 300px\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-OHd8WW0yY4g\/TrB00BEgl4I\/AAAAAAAAA2s\/KTQ66KCm5cE\/s400\/SAM_0876.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670160367848822658\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-size:130%\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia\">My vanilla latte at the Chocolate Lounge<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size:100%\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 13.5pt;font-family:georgia\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;color:black\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size:100%\">I have to start my day with a mug of coffee. I normally have Moccona coffee which I brought home from New Zealand. Or the most \u201cchaukia\u201d coffee, I would make myself Nescafe GOLD. No Nescafe Classic, please. I just hate the taste! At around 10, I\u2019ll make myself another mug of coffee (if I am at home). At the uni, Mazura is my coffee companion. We\u2019ll slip into the staff pantry (of course postgraduates are invited) around 11 and make our favourite coffee from the dispenser. I would normally have either the Latte or the Mocha. Mazura on the one hand will have hot chocolate\u2026And around 2pm, I have my next cup of coffee. My coffee craze ends till maybe 6 or 7pm? Now tell me. I am so immuned that coffee has no effect at all on me!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size:85%\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-N-3tXJnCV3A\/TrB09qIEXUI\/AAAAAAAAA3Q\/BWSDVOTtzsY\/s1600\/SAM_0879.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px;text-align: center;cursor: pointer;width: 400px;height: 300px\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-N-3tXJnCV3A\/TrB09qIEXUI\/AAAAAAAAA3Q\/BWSDVOTtzsY\/s400\/SAM_0879.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670160533488426306\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size:100%\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 13.5pt;font-family: arial;font-family:georgia\"><span style=\"font-size:100%;color:black\" lang=\"IT\">Flavour?
