Kelantan First Mc Cafe - Everything about Coffee


Somebody must have invested his/her money in Kelantan.
I am pretty sure of it.
Or maybe something crazy is going to happen in Kelantan. 
Cause there's so many great things are happening here.
First, the Seoul Garden, 
Next Sushi King,
Then The Face Shop (which I have nothing to blog about)
Now, Mc Cafe.

Wtf?

and I have heard rumours of Manhattan Fish Market Restaurant is coming their ways.

Seriously.

Sounds awesome uh?
Even I myself couldn't believe in it.

My dream? 
Get the whole Pavilion KL here.
LOL kidding :P



Anyway, we gonna talk about Mc Cafe in Kelantan now.
This is the FIRST MC Cafe in Kelantan,
and I believe it will be THE ONLY ONE McCafe in Kelantan,
as far as I discover how McDonald's policies goes.

So here's some views taken while I was there.






Okay frankly this is not the first time I visited McCafe,
I have been to their other outlets in Cheras and Klang.
And I have gotta tell you each and every McCafe serves different style of coffee,
thought the name of the drinks are all the same.
It all depend on how the baristas were trained, and how long have they involved themselves in exploring coffee.

The coffee beans used in McCafe are named Arabica Coffee, one of the common coffee beans in the world. 
I would say the taste were not too bad, it could at least be at the top ten coffee shops I will pick so far. :)

Here's the coffee and tit-bit cake I have picked on the day.

Review:
The Frap taste sucks.
Although the name frappuccino means the thick milkshake with ice-cream (wikipedia), 
but hell-no-way the coffee is overpowered by it. 
Very disappointing one.


Cappuccino, taste nice.
I have always love it in McCafe outlets.
I think it's even better than Starbucks
cause it's bitter and without the gross milk-after-taste on your tongue.





So everyone has love Mc Cafe, 
and it's so mainstream that my fb and insta is all about it.
Let me show you thoses pictures,
and maybe you are one of them :)

Cheras outlet is the first McCafe I have visited.

And what else,
Coffee is difinitely one good thing to be consumed,
let me show you how good it is:


Top 21 REASONS TO DRINK COFFEE:
1. Burns Body Fats: A core ingredient of coffee, Caffeine, increases your metabolic rate, modulates blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity, curbs your appetite and stimulates the nervous system, triggering fat cells to break down body fat.

2. Boosts Performance: Caffeine not only increases Epinephrine (Adrenaline, body’s “fight or flight” hormone) levels in the blood, readying our body for intense physical exertion but also the number of fatty acids circulating in the bloodstream making them available as ready fuel.

3. Fights Depression and Makes You Happier: Caffeine not only gives your body a jolt, but it also acts a mild anti-depressant, boosting production of “feel-good” neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, serotonin and noradrenalin.

4. Decreases Metabolic Syndrome Risk: Coffee decreases the risk of Metabolic syndrome (obesity, a large waist circumference, and insulin resistance) by reducing triglyceride levels and improved glucose tolerance.
5. Speeds Recovery and Reduces Muscle Soreness: Caffeine reduces the process of muscle recovery by up to 48% and improves muscle glycogen re-synthesis, post-workout.

6. Increases Motivation & Reaction Time: Caffeine blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter Adenosine, increasing the amount of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine. These fire up the neurons, responsible for better memory, mood, vigilance, logical reasoning, energy levels, reaction times and general cognitive function.

7. Lowers stress: Coffee aromas lead to changes in brain proteins tied to stress, felt as a result of sleep deprivation and over exertion.

8. Prevents Heart Disease and Stroke: Antioxidants, in coffee, help quell the damaging effects of inflammations on arteries. Improves the ratio between “bad” LDL and “good” HDL cholesterol by 8%.
9. Improves Vascular Health & regulates Blood Pressure: Improves health of the blood vessels by increasing nitric oxide production in the endothelium, improving vascular muscle tone. Helps maintain healthy arterial pressure, lowering blood pressure over the long-term.

10. Protects against Prostate cancer: Studies have proved that active coffee drinkers reduce their risk of prostate cancer recurrence and/or progression by 59%, than those with lower or no coffee consumption.
11. Protects against Type 2 diabetes: Decaffeinated coffee increases plasma levels of the protein Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) which controls the biological activity of Testosterone and Estrogen, critical in the development of Type 2 diabetes.

12. Nutrient Superstore: A cup of coffee contains important nutrients, including Riboflavin (B2), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Manganese, Potassium, Magnesium and Niacin (B3), without any added calories.
13. Rich in Antioxidants: Coffee (caffeinated or decaffeinated) is the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source.

14. For Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia: Coffee sippers reduced the risk or delayed onset of Alzheimer’s disease, by 65%, which is a leading cause of dementia worldwide.

15. For Parkinson’s disease: Coffee drinkers have up to a 60% lower risk of getting Parkinson’s disease (caused by the death of dopamine-generating neurons), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease.

16. Liver LOVER: Paraxanthine, one of the breakdown products of caffeine, restricts tissue growth associated with liver fibrosis, alcoholic cirrhosis and liver cancer. Caffeine and antioxidants, Chlorogenic and Caffeic acids, prevent liver inflammation and reduce risk of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), a rare autoimmune disease of the bile ducts in the liver.

17. Cancer Cure: Antioxidants, Caffeic and Chlorogenic acid, prevent Glioma (a form of brain cancer), lower risk of developing Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)—most common type of skin cancer (in women) and endometrial cancer(cancer of the lining of the uterus).

18. Provides Migraine relief: Coffee constricts swollen blood vessels in the brain, which can decrease throbbing pain. In fact, caffeine is used as a main ingredient in many popular over-the-counter migraine medications.

19. Anti-aging miracle: Coffee’s high antioxidant content refreshes your skin, helps reduce cellulite and fights against wrinkles.

20. Prevents Colon Cancer: Coffee contains numerous wonder ingredients which cuts the risk of colon cancer by nearly 25%.

21. Decreases Mortality Rate: Studies on regular coffee drinkers across variety of ethnicities, gender, body fat, lifestyle factors and age show 10% lower risk of mortality than abstainers


And what's your favourite coffee?

If you are wondering:
I am definitely a Cappuccino person.
Very obsessive in everything I obsessed with (eg: coffee, fashion, blog!)
and very controlling ( I am a 100% da nv ren)
yes, I am creative (when mood kicks), 
honest (well?), 
and very motivated.

I get bored with Unimaginative people,
cause they just make me feel sleepy.
NO EXCITEMENT AT ALL.
