Brunei (BND) - coins

I noticed that one side of the coins will be different for all the denomination. Is it so for all the currencies in the world?

Singapore (SGD) - notes

I used to have $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 old notes. So where are they now? I spent it...... wish that I had kept them. So what about the new notes. Since they are still in circulation, they don't qualify to be in this post yet.

Singapore (SGD) - coins

I don't own a camera as such the pictures may not be sharp. They are taken from my modest phone camera with low resolution. Still they are good enough to keep for fond memories in my old days.

Do you notice any difference between the old coins and the new coins? Take a closer look, it is not difficult to notice the differences. The new coins, the front side has different design but the back has same design. As for the old coins, it is the reverse. The front side has the same design and the back has different design.

Singapore (SGD) - coins

I am presenting some collection over the years in my blog. Such hobby will cost me a bomb, so am only able to collect some coins and dollar notes left over from overseas trips. It is not fantastic collection compare to those real collectors out there. There are some coins that I don't even know where they are from. They are given by my grandfather through my mum. You will get to see them in future post. Starting off with Singapore coins and dollar notes first.

Owl Traditional Coffee Mixture

I can't taste the sugar in this 2-in-1 packet coffee. It simply tastes like black coffee without sugar. The new Owl brand packaging looks appealing, but content is otherwise. Still it is good enough for those who love to go to coffee shop and order a cup of "kopi-o siew dai" (coffee black less sugar).

G7 Coffee

Vietnam coffee how does it taste? It is not heavy going and is sour. Am not use to such taste. Wonder is this the authentic Vietnam coffee taste. May be I will start to appreciate it if I drink a few more times.

The Coffee Factories White Coffee Premium 3-in-1

Came across this new brand while doing marketing at NTUC. It is those big packet of instant coffee, so prefer a big cup for it. Otherwise you may need to split the contents into 2 small cups. Nothing fantastic about this new brand. The coffee portion is not strong enough and is quite sweet. The aroma is not strong compare to Alicafe.

Ye Ye 3-in-1 Instant Coffee Mix

Isn't this an interesting name "YE YE". It meant grandfather. It is acceptable for a small cup of coffee. Still consider blend for my picky taste-bud for coffee. More creamer and sweet compare to other instant coffee. Yet another option for light coffee drinker.

Nescafe Espresso Roast 3-in-1

Bought this when I saw the word Espresso Roast. Well it doesn't taste as good as I thought. Just normal 3-in-1 quick fix for a small cup of coffee. A bit of coffee taste but consider blend. Seems like Nescafe small packaging 3-in-1 has a blend taste. Suitable for people who only go for a slight coffee smell and taste. Guess it is marketing strategy to pack in different packaging to target different group of people.

Owl 2-in-1 Instant Coffee

Owl brand is not new in Singapore market. A new revamp in packaging for Owl brand. Will it bring in new market share for Owl brand? This 2-in-1 contains coffee and creamer, not the usual 2-in-1 which contains coffee and sugar. Taste like Nova instant coffee. Not bad for a small cup. I would prefer this than some other small packet 3-in-1 instant coffee.
