I had a nice Christmas-themed snack for tea at Starbucks recently. It's a part of their new Christmas menu, which I thought had pretty good offerings, and I was spoiled for choice before finally settling for this red and green pepper scone with cream cheese.
Savoury scones are generally not as commonly found in Singapore, other than the standard cheese scone perhaps, so this was a refreshing find for me.
There were many bits of red and green pepper embedded in the scone, and it had a very nice Mediterranean flavour to it. I think I also saw some sun-dried tomatoes in the scone itself.
All these veggies gave the scone a very nice colour. What's more, it fit right in with the Christmas theme!
The cream cheese sandwiched in the middle reminded me of Boursin's sun-dried tomato cheese, and was a very nice complement to the peppers in the scone.
All in all, a very well-conceived snack indeed!
I had this with a cup of hojicha soy latte (or hōjicha/houjicha). I love the soy milk and tea combination, which pairs the mellow soy milk flavour with earthy tea. And whenever I visit Starbucks, it's usually this or the green tea (matcha) soy latte with no sugar vanilla syrup.
This tea also happened to go very well with the scone by the way...
