Coffee, Anyone?

One of my favourite drinks is coffee. I just love the aroma and taste!

At Rialto, I created a drink called MacBeth Coffee. At $1.50 a cup, it was selling like hot cakes. One customer came almost everyday for his MacBeth, so much so that we nicknamed him Mr. MacBeth. Often customers would ask what is MacBeth coffee, and I would recite this poem for them.

Round and round the coffee machine we run,
Really having such great fun!
To make a good tasty cup of MacBeth,
Just throw in Kamlette's tail, Bobo's paws and Xiaobai's tail!
Rialto's secret witchy concoction,
Customers sure to ask for a second portion!

One day, an elderly couple came to Rialto and excitedly told me they came up because they were curious about MacBeth coffee on the menu board. "We just gotta find out what is MacBeth Coffee because we are Mr. & Mrs. MacBeth from Scotland!"

I recited the above poem for them. Mrs. MacBeth laughed so hard that she had to go back to her hotel to have a new change of clothes! I told myself I must be more cautious in future, because some of the elderly customers could be suffering from incontinence.

My second sister, Ean Ean, told me that when she was expecting her third child, she had this unusual craving for coffee aroma! Everyday, she would inhale from a container of coffee powder! It is not surprising that my niece, Incy, enjoys drinking coffee, more than her siblings do.

I love the OCBC Bank at Specialist Centre. I love the bank not bacause of all the $$ in the bank but because of the coffee outlet in the bank itself! Spinelli used to be there, but it is now taken over by Starbucks. Whenever I enter the bank, I would take deep breaths, savouring the strong coffee aroma that permeates the bank! I shared this with my second sister and she chided me, "Choo, buy the coffee! You're so generous to others but stinge on yourself!" I could not bring myself to spend $4.50 on a cup of coffee when I could get a good cup of coffee for 90 cents at the Killiney Kopi Tiam, albeit without aircon and a less grand ambience. The $$ saved could provide a few meals for my orphans in the third world countries. Perhaps because of my not so sharp hearing ability, the Creator has compensated me with an extra sharp and sensitive nose that even my three pet doggies would be envious of!
