That’s not all — with every purchase of a Venti-sized Shiok-ah-ccino, aka Starbucks’ upcoming chocolatey drinks, customers are also entitled to a free Ang Ku Kueh Girl cup sleeve holder.

We’ve seen the lovely Ang Ku Kueh Girl make her debut in 2012 and become fun Whatsapp and Telegram stickers to share with our loved ones. Her symbolism of good fortune and longevity makes her all the more suitable for this exciting Starbucks collaboration.
