What's For Lunch at Starbucks

A few years ago, we were on a honeymoon in Hong Kong when I passed by a Starbucks Coffee offering pasta dishes for lunch. Back then, I wished that Starbucks Philippines would also offer the same menu apart from sandwiches and pastries so imagine my excitement when they started rolling lunch meals sometime last year.

Just recently, Starbucks launched another set of delightful dishes to perk you up for lunch. The brand started rolling out hot, new dishes as they introduced its Flatbread selection. A cheese lover’s dream, the new Four Cheese Flatbread is packed with parmesan, mozzarella, cheddar and cream cheese and garnished with garlic and Italian seasoning.

Those looking for a protein option can chomp on the new Sausage and Ham Flatbread, topped with bacon, sausages, ham, sundried tomatoes, black olives, mozzarella, parmesan and pesto sauce.

The Roasted Vegetables with Chicken has a colorful mix of roasted broccoli, squash, carrots, eggplant, button mushroom, French beans, and onions, tossed with Italian dressing and topped with sliced chicken. It's a sure hit for people who prefers something light and healthy.

I love Potato Gratin and so I'm excited to try Starbucks Potato Gratin with Ham and Bacon, a dish of thinly sliced potatoes, layered with bacon, ham and soft cream cheese, baked to form a golden brown crust.

Lunchtime classics

As mentioned earlier, Starbucks Philippines started offering pasta dishes and hearty sandwiches that's perfectly great for lunch or even meryenda.

Try the rich and savory Classic Beef Lasagna baked with béchamel sauce and a generous coating of mozzarella cheese, and the creamy Penne Pesto with Mushroom.

Salmon Dill on Multi Grain Bread

How about a delicious Roasted Chicken Pesto and Shiitake Mushroom on Flat Bread made with roasted chicken breast fillet, pesto mayo sauce and Shiitake mushrooms. My favorite is the Salmon Dill on Multi Grain Bread with a spread of salmon flakes, mozzarella and cream cheese and hard-boiled eggs.

Starbucks also offers Bistro Bowls and Yogurt Cups that come in convenient, to-go packages. Made with Al Dente tri-color fussili pasta, juicy tomatoes, black olives and bell pepper atop a bed of fresh arugula and served with a rich parmesan dressing on the side, the Arugula Pasta Salad with Creamy Parmesan is a sumptuous lunch-on-the run solution.

Greek Yogurt Parfait

For a light snack, go for a Greek Yogurt Parfait with a choice of either Blueberry or Mango compote layered with Greek Yogurt and topped with crunchy oat granola.

I wish they will bring back the Tahitian Macchiato

There's no need to travel in another country to get a taste of Starbucks Lunch Meals. What do you think is the best Starbucks Coffee for lunch? I always go for Caramel Macchiato and Latte. I hope they will bring back the Tahitian Macchiato though. How about you?
