Starbucks (Singapore) Cherry Blossom

Tipped off by a reader that the Starbucks in Singapore also carries the Sakura/Cherry Blossom range, I headed down to the Starbucks in Holland Village first thing this morning. Turns out that we got some of the same items as Japan, such as the clear transparent plastic tumbler, but we got a different cherry blossom design for the hot drinks tumbler.

We also got a different sakura bear from the one available in Japan.

This furry friend is going to asiyakei in Canada :-)

My small collection of Starbucks tumblers. The blue wintery one on the left was released in December 2009 while the orange sakura one on the right was purchased back in 2006. There was also a bright red tiger print tumbler for Chinese New Year but think it's sold out already.

The Singapore version may not be as colourful as the Japan version but it has lovely details like the metallic finishing on the sakura tree in the print.

What's cute about this design is that there are pink hearts and sakura flowers printed on the external surface of the tumbler which makes them look like they are floating around the sakura trees :-)
