Every time Carmina would travel to her hometown in California she prefer having some instant coffee to drink for her breakfast. Carmina decided to try something new for a change where she had made her purchase at the Uni Mart in Greenhills Shopping Mall. Our first breakfast in my sister's home Mom Violy and Carmina had a cup of Gold Choice White Coffee Durian flavor. At first Mom Violy was complaining about the smell of durian once she sipped her coffee she liked it a lot. Too bad Carmina only brought one pack only having 15 sticks inside.  Carmina also liked the taste and couldn't wait to return back to the Philippines and purchase some more. Gold Choice White Coffee Durian Flavor sells for PHP 236.25 ($4.22) made in Malaysia. Mom Violy and Carmina can reunite with our favorite durian coffee. 😋 NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Gold Choice White Coffee Durian Flavor made in Malaysia.

On May 4, 2022 Mom Violy and Carmina had arrived in San Francisco on a flight coming from Manila, Philippines.
