Home-made Affogato!

 Today I made my own affogato at home! The bean I used was a Costa Rica from Brazil. It has a mild smell and not really strong taste so many female like Costa Rica.
 Prepare the Moka Pot for espresso and the hand mill for grinding
 Use just the same method as I did with the Espresso making!
 Yay! I pictured the moment when espresso was coming up to the upper chamber from the bottom chamber! And! Can you see that yellow-goldish Crema? Espresso! LOL
 Prepare a scoop or two of vanila ice cream! I putted some banana at the bottom. :)
 Then pour the prepared espresso on the ice cream. It will melt as you pour the hot hot espresso on it
 My first affogato ! My dad said it was delicious so I'm satisfied! HAHAHAHAHA

Mommy's Instant Coffee Collection!

 These are all instant coffees of my mother! She bought several kinds of instant coffees when we're living in Malaysia and Singapore.

Theses are the coffees from Malaysia. They are Ali Cafe which I introduced last time!
There are different kinds of instant coffees but the only difference is about the amount of sugar! I guess..

These are the white coffee from Singapore! My mom bought it in Singapore but it's from Malaysia too. LOL  Although they are called WHITE coffee, they are not White.
Here is a definition and explanation from WIKIPEDIA


Ipoh "white" coffee is a popular coffee drink which originated in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. The coffee beans are roasted with palm-oil margarine, and the resulting coffee is served with condensed milk. [1] The term "white coffee" originates from the literal translation of its Chinese name, which was introduced in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who came to work in the local tin mines.[citation needed]
Traditionally, Malaysian style "black" coffee roast (Kopi-O) is produced by roasting the beans with sugar, margarine and wheat. [2] "White" coffee, on the other hand, is produced with only margarine and without any sugar, resulting in a less dark roast. Chang Jiang White Coffee is one of the example of traditional style of white coffee. Ipoh White Coffee is also widely available in an instant version.[1] It is sometimes consumed after dinner.[3]



There are some Korean ones too! But my mom said they are not as good as Malaysia's!
Don't know why :)

THese are coffees from Indonesia! When we went to Bali, she bought packages and she said they are good! They are from the coffee farm in Bali.
