noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 12:30:00 +0000

In the first month of 2017, I am luckily to have a chance to go travel with my whole family. Although the reason why I have to go Penang isn't make me happy. It is because of my parents have to check their health. I came 2 days earlier than the doctor schedule, so I can visit some of must visit hawker food in Penang and here's my list Penang Must Try Hawker Food:

1. Penang Famous Chendul

This is my top list must try Hawker Food in Penang. The combination of chendul, red bean, shave ice, gula malaka. It combine to be super nice. Eventhough I like this combination but for my personal preference, I prefer cendol texture in Indonesia. But ice chendul will be nice especially in the sunny days and you need something to refreshing your throat

2. Rojak

Near the chendul, there is many food stall which serve many yummy food. Rojak is one of the must wanted food. Indonesia also has Rujak as well, but the different between Rujak and Rojak are the ingredients and the sauce. Rojak consist of some fruit, tofu and cuttlefish. The sauce the use "petis" as we known as one of West Java spice and gula malaka.

3. Char Kuey Teow

Char Kuey Teow we knew as Fried Kwtiauw in Indonesia. The main ingredients are same but the are some of ingredients that makes Char Kuey Teow is must try food in Penang. Usually they use

4. Dim Sum

I never thought that Dim Sum in Penang is cheap and super finger licking. Every morning in Penang, I had Dim Sum as my breakfast. There are many dim sum place I visited such as Tai Tong Restaurant, Zim Sum, and Yong Ping. Tai Tong wins my heart, it will be my favorite dim sum in Penang. They have several varian such as chee cheong fan, porridge, pao, steam dim sum, and fried dim sum. My favorite is Salted Egg Bao which is only RM 2. That is so cheap and the bao is BOMB. If you like salted egg bao, you must visit Tai Tong.

5. Curry Mee

Curry Mee will be one of the famous food in Penang. The combination of the thick spice and white savoury soup will make you like curry mee. The white soup consist of coconut milk that makes the flavour of thick spice will be all out. I tried curry mee near the Penang Road Famous Chendul

6. Laksa

If you like something fresh and spicy, you'll like Laksa. The soup is very rich from the combination of chili, shrimp, and many spice. Usually the use white noodle and it texture very nice. Even I am not a big fan of Laksa but taste better that Malaysian food in Jakarta. There are so many Laksa in Penang, but you can try Laksa in Kafe Ping Hooi and Penang Road Famous Chendul

7. Fried Oyster

Fried Oyster looks very simple dish. It is the combination egg and oyster. But if you cannot cook well, it won't impress you. I tried fried oyster in Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, you will find crowded stall who cook nice Fried Oyster. You should try it

Sweet and Savory Dessert by Island Creamery

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 02:00:00 +0000

Island Creamery is one of my favorite dessert place in Jakarta. They opened their first store in 2004 at Flavour Bliss, Alam Sutera. Then they opened another store at Kota Kasablanka Mall, Pondok Indah Mall, Kelapa Gading Mall, Summarecon Bekasi and Puri Indah Mall. Last saturday with my officemate, I went to Island Creamery Puri Indah Mall to join the Food Tasting. They are going to launch new menu in July. I have a previlege to tried their new menu more than anyone else.

Like another first outlet in Alam Sutera, they made the same interior and bring it as identity of Island Creamery with light wood chair and small corner for children to drawing and colouring. They have indoor and outdoor area, so you can choose which are is suite for you.

As the sweet and savory dessert they prepare, they have 2 quirky savory dessert and 1 favorite milkshake. Let we start with The Elvis Milkshake combines fresh banana ice cream blended with dark chocolate fudge and peanut butter for that extra savory kick. It is so suitable for summer, especially who loves peanuts butter will love this milkshake.

The Elvis Milkshake Rp. 35.000,-

Secret Pop! Sundae, which has chocolate and caramel sauces drizzled on Vanilla ice cream topped with caramel popcorn and candied chicken bacon bits. It surprise me who never has any experience with savory and sweet ice sundae. In my first bite, I really doubt this ice cream but in the end I was not really care about the chicken bacon on top. It gives you and extraordinary experience to eat more than sweet dessert.

Secret Pop! Sundae Rp. 39,000,-

The Lighting Rod Sundae has walnut brownie topped off with a scoop of chocolate peanut butter ice cream, chocolate fudge and salted pretzel sticks. It is suitable for chocolate lover like me. I really like it when the walnut brownie mix with chocolate butter ice cream and the pretzel sticks in one full spoon. I really love the richness and saltiness of peanut butter and pretzel sticks. It will be my next favorite sundae.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 02:00:00 +0000

Hey foodie friends, sorry for not updating so long time. I am still living. I had been eating a lot of yummy or unyummy food. But in this 6 months, I have been really focused with my job as a banker and I really want to achieve something in my banking career. I push myself in my career tried the best that I can be. I worked over time, somehow I miss my leisure time. I miss find some new place to eat, but I couldn't. I tried some new side job, some new opportunities but I failed.

I lose my self and no more excited to go to work, then someday I woke up noise in my head told me how I am starting to apply to become a banker, the reason why I could love my job. Then I realize that I wanna be a banker. I love for my job, besides that I am getting smarter to manage my time. Lately, I am really busy at work, but when I went home I miss something. I miss something that makes me busy, make me passionate again that is blogging.

One day, I puzzled myself to write again to back to my old hobby. I came again to food tasting. I see new people. I am back on track. I am blogging again.

Wait me for first reviewed after my long break. Wish you are all excited, so see you

Starbucks Lunch Product

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:30:00 +0000

Last wednesday, I invited with Starbucks to Wholesome Food Delicious Conversation. In this time Starbucks is getting ready for launch some lunch product. They held this discussion near my office in Starbucks Pessangrahan. I am so happy finally they make event in my living area. Here's the story

As usual, we have known Starbucks as coffee store, so we start our discussion with coffee tasting. They served us Medium Kenya. It is light coffee and this is one of my favourite coffee bean in Starbucks. Accompany with lemon biscuit, it is nice to accompany the coffee. I love the coffee and the pairing.

Then we start our dinner to taste and to score also give an opinion about the Lunch Product in Starbucks. Actually Starbucks has many lunch menu in their store, but not all store are provide this lunch menu. In this lunch product, they have 5 menus. There are Caesar Salad, Pesto Fussili with Roasted Eggplant and Tomato, Farfalle with Beef Meatball and Sauteed Spinach, Pesto Tomato Mozarella Panini, and Grilled Chicken Humus Panini.

We started with Caesar Salad. It looks like another Caesar Salad, there is nothing special with this salad. Moreover, I think the vegetable is not really fresh maybe because its refrigirated for could hour, also the dressing is too little, I need more dressing. All the component are right, but I need more improvement.

Pesto Fussili with Roasted Eggplant and Tomato. It looks little bit dry, but it smelled good. This menu intended for vegetarian. I think the pesto has not really strong enough for me, but the tomato in exact amount. For the roasted eggplant, I think it would be better to change it to be mushroom, according my judgement more people like mushroom than people who like eggplant.

Farfalle with Beef Meatball and Sauteed Spinach. It comes really nice and it smelled good. I am a big fan of creamy pasta and so of many people out there will drooling when saw this yummy dish. Beef Meatball always reminds me of IKEA meatball, so my expectation of any kind of meatball little bit high. This Beef Meatball is nailed it. I like it, it is tender and well marinated. Farfalle comes so good accompany with spinach, it will be healthy as well.

Pesto Tomato Mozarella Panini is pesto in Panini version. It comes little bit sprawl, but the mozarella will kick your taste buds. It taste so great yummy panini, I like it, but the pesto is not really strong I tasted tomato domain the panini. It looks by the picture that show they sliced the tomato quite thick.

Grilled Chicken Humus Panini comes with chili flakes and red pepper powder on top. It makes this panini little bit spicy. Grilled Chicken little bit dry, but they combine with mushroom so you'll get the juicy from the mushroom. They use fresh vegetable so this is another healthy food from Starbucks which you could grab in your rush lunch time.

For all I am waiting for this lunch menu, I wish I could grab their pasta and panini as soon as possible and I wish they could make many improvement that we discuss.

Authentic Taichan

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 03:30:00 +0000

Taichan Ramen is old ramen resto in Jakarta. I think I knew that about Taichan since I am in elementary school. Actually they are Japanese resto, so they are not only served ramen but also rice box and etc. So, couple weeks ago when I visited Pondok Indah Mall. I went there to take a look Taichan Ramen. I am quite rare went to Pondok Indah Mall, so I choose Taichan as my place to eat dinner. So here's what we had as dinner.

Even Taichan is authentic Japanesse resto, but they have modern interior. Dominate with solid color of wood, they don't make their interior really Japanesse, just like an casual Japanesse dining in Jakarta.

As dinner time I visited Taichan, I ordered rice set and ramen. For ramen, they have big size of bowl, so you could share with your friend or you only need to fulfill your tummy in big size ramen. As ramen they have many kind of soup, shoyu, miso and etc. As topping they also served beef and chicken.

I ordered ramen with Tokusei Miso Ramen. It is ramen with miso soup and it comes with beef and mix vegetable. I ordered big bowl of Tokusei Miso Ramen then it is taste great. Usually I ordered ramen with shoyu soup, but when I ordered miso I taste like it is unique and different.


Tokusei Miso Ramen Rp. 53,000,-

Then I ordered rice set, I choose Mix Fried Rice Set. It combination of katsu, shrimp, and cream croqutete. I don't think so it taste rare like it look like, I love the sauce that they served, it make the katsu taste are blow up in your mouth so it taste so fantastic. Then accompany with miso soup. So this fry set isn't dry at all.

Mix Fry Set Rp. 69,000,-

For all, I enjoy my japanesse resto in Taichan then even they are authentic but I don't really think they are special like I wanna back for another dish. But if you crave for authentic Japanesse resto, it will be great.

Tsurukamedou

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 04:30:00 +0000

Tsurukamedou is new hip place in Taman Ratu. They served yummy ramen, which is succesfully make me curious what make them really special. Then two weeks ago, me with my sister and Joan also her boyfriend went there not in meal time. There are no people come, when I came there, but not longer after that so many people come to taste their ramen. What makes them really special? Here what I found.

Tsurukamedou has lovely warm interior, dominated with light brown color of wood. It makes this japanesse resto show their true identity from Japan.

Tsurukamedou is authentic ramen from Japan. The owner is standby there to control their quality of soup and the chewy level of ramen before it served in our table. They only limited menu, but it makes us easier to pick which ramen that we want to have.

As side dish we ordered Tori Karage. Actually they have spicy and regular Tori Karage. But my sister is not spicy lover, so I ordered regular Tori Karage. It comes really great, so chewy and yummy combine with their tori karage special sauce, it makes this Tori Karage so yummy.

Tori Karage Rp. 32,000,-

As ramen, we ordered the same ramen. It is because their ramen menu speciality is Tonkutsu Ramen. It use pork and served with half tamago. It smell really good. The soup is really thick, not like the other ramen they are more light. Then the texture of their soup is oil and liquid ramen. As my style of ramen, I really love to eat more soup, so I think I prefer the light soup then the heavy and thick one like Tsurukamedou served. But, even the soup is really thick, I don't nausea after eat them. Also the pork, they served is thick also. So, I think I don't prefer with their soup, but I love the pork thickness.

Tonkotsu Ramen Rp. 45,000,-

For all, I enjoy ramen well in Tsurukamedou, but I don't think it will be my number one ramen pop up in my mind. So stay thick and yummy soup. Maybe if I am in the mood of thick soup so I could come to Tsurukamedou.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 03:00:00 +0000

Pier16 is newbie resto located in Pantai Indah Kapuk, new food district in North Jakarta. I invited to their food tasting with many fellow blogger. Before I invited to Pier 16, I already knew there is Pier 16 who served seafood. I am seafood lover and I really happy that there is seafood resto invited me of new way enjoying seafood.

Pier 16 have cute way of enjoy seafood, not like high-end seafood resto or not like hawker seafood resto. They served in their way to enjoy seafood. They served seafood in western way, even we also see they served Indonesian way to served seafood.

In this invitation, they served me many kind of side dish and yummy seafood. They served us Fried Calamari, Fried Dory as appetizer. Fried Calamari comes with white dipping sauce with lemon and mayo mix. But in my opinion, fried calamari over cooked so it is not chewy enough to bite. Fried Dori comes really great and yummy.

Fried Calamari Rp. 25,000,-
Fried Dori Rp. 32,000,-
Shrimp Rp. 55,000,-

As main course, we served with shrimp. In Pier16, we could pick what seasoning that we want. They have Lemon Pepper, Queen Marry Chili Sauce, The Whole She Bang. They picked us Lemon Pepper for shrimp. It comes really match with shrimp, it is sour and salty as well. It is really great. Then they also served us Crab with Angel Hair Crab. They picked us Queen Marry Chili Sauce. It taste really yummy, the seasoning taste sweet and sour. I love the angel hair served with crab, but I don't think the angel hair served al dente.

Sweet Potato Fries & Fried Cut Fries Rp. 25,000,- (each) ; Angel Hair Crab Rp. 130,000,-

Then we continue with lobster and crawfish. Lobster and crawfish served with She Bang seasoning. It taste really good. If you picked She Bang seasoning, you could pick spicy level that you want. There are Mild, Medium and XXX. So if you don't really like spicy, I think you better choose mild level of spiciness.

Lobster with She Bang Seasoning, Price follow market price

Even lobster and crawfish served with the same seasoning, but in my opinion, I prefer she bang seasoning. It is marinate well more than lobster. Maybe it is because crawfish shell is thinner than lobster.

Crawfish with She Bang Seasoning Rp. 85,000,-

For all, I really enjoy my dish in Pier16. It makes my dining experience will be different, so you might not be boring with seafood resto which is usually serve rare seafood menu without any innovation at all.

I always love the way the named their menu. It looks like they wanna served Nannys heritage food to the others. Then I love they also have different theme in every store they have, so you won't get boring with their interior while you visit Nannys.

Couple weeks ago, I invited to Nannys Pavillion, I really excited that I invited to my favourite place. They invited me to Nannys Pavillion Barn. It is one of Nannys store that I am not visit yet. I heard that so many people said Nannys Barn is kinda cute with 2 level store. Also this is one of Nannys store who is not located in mall. So you will get new experience of having you favourite meal in Nannys with extra lovely outdoor space.

As dish drink, they served us general drink. They asked me to order whether tea or coffee. We could order with cold or hot. Ice tea or coffee will be great in the sunny day. But when you come there in the cloudy day, maybe hot tea or coffee will warm you tummy.

Then we served so many yummy food from appetizer until dessert. Nannys served Ceicile's de Le Thon served as appetizer.

Ceicillia de Le Thon Rp. 35,000,-

Ceicillia de Le Thon is brunch menu in Nanny's Pavillion. It comes with pancake rolls with tuna and mayo inside top with sunny side egg. It is really tasty and light. It is really great while you too late having your breakfast but you still wanna have energetic brunch.

For all, I wanna say thank you to Nanny's Pavillion to invited me to lovely and yummy brunch. Keep going with yummy and lovely menu and stay old, sweet and cute.

Hometown Traditional Cuisine with a Little Twist by Thai Alley

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 04:00:00 +0000

I had to survey to meet my customer in Gandari 8 Office Tower. Then after meet them, I was hungry and I was looking for unusual lunch with my office mate, Andrea. I recomend her about Fook Yew, but both of us already tried them and kinda curious with new Thai resto in front of them. So we walked out to Thai Alley and check out Thai Alley menu and we were agree to taste them.

Thai Alley are created hometown traditional cooked of Thai Food with Thai Alley signature twist that will awaken eyes, mouth and kick your taste buds. So, you won't find any authentic Thai Food. They served modern ways of Thai Food. So if you are kinda boring with western food, asian food or maybe Indonesian food, Thai food will be your choice.

Thai Alley served so many kinds of famous and unfamous Thai Food such as Yam Nam Nuang (Mango Salad), Tom Yum, Khao Pad Sapparot (Pineapple Fried Rice) and many yummy authentic yummy food. They also served Thai seafood, dessert and many more.

In this time, I ordered Ice Thai Tea for drink and I ordered Pad Thai and Tom Yum Gong. Ice Thai Tea comes nice but in my opinion this Thai Tea didn't kick my tongue because the tea flavour is not strong enough. Usually Thai Tea should use tea imported from Thailand and use condensed milk.

Pad Thai is stir fried rice noodle with shrimps, eggs, and tomatoes served with bean sprout and chives. It taste really good even it looks like Fried Kwetiauw but it is different. They put tomatoes and the thai sauce is really good when you combine with Pad Thai.

Tom Yum Gong is mini size of Tom Yum. Tom Yum Gong is traditional Thai Soup with jumbo king prawn and mushroom. Mushroom is dominant the Tom Yum Gong. They only give me 1 piece of king prawn. Even I love it mushroom, I think I need more prawn. It taste really great, the combination of sweet, sour, spicy and salty really kick my taste buds.

For all, I think I fall in love with Thai Alley as modern Thai Resto in Jakarta. In this visit I didn't try their dessert I think I wanna back to taste their Yam Nam Nuang and another authentic Thai food then I wanna try their dessert.

Couple weeks ago, I was invited to Italian Fair Week by Scusa. If you are follow my blog, you knew that I had been invited in their White Asparagus Affair in May. Then in June they once again invite us to taste their Italian Food. In June, Italy also celebrate their Independence day, so Scusa presented a selection of exclusive set menu from the well know region of Italy to satiate the appetite. In Italy, there are 3 regions which is Sicily, Tuscany and Veneziea, each region feature on the set menu along with favourite menu options for the ultimate dining experience in Scusa.

As the started, I ordered some drink. There are mocktail and cocktail. I ordered Bloody Marry as cocktail and Fruit Punch as mocktail. As I'm not a big fans of cocktail, so I prefer fruit punch more than bloody marry. Bloody Marry comes little bit spicy as there is ginger on it and fruit punch comes really fresh, moreover you enjoy your dish in Scusa after work. It is really refreshing your mind.

Bloody Mary - Fruit Punch

In Italian Week Affair, they served us from appetizer until dessert. First dish that you have not miss is the bread special from Scusa. Then we continue our dish with appetizer. They served us Scampi Giganti Salad and Insalata Vegetariana.

Insalata Vegetariana

Insalata Vegetariana comes with rocket leaves, olives, cherry tomatoes, anchovies, green bean and lemon dressing. It comes really cute with fried parmesan as based, the vegetable stack on it. It comes really yummy and fresh. I like it moreover they served with rocket leaves my favorite vegetable.

Scampi Giganti Salad

Scampi Giganti Salad comes with orange, red onion, meslun, and an Italian herb dressing. As dressing they use olive oil, orange, thyme and rosemary. It smell really good and fresh. I like it the scampi with well cook and match with the italian dressing.

Before we continue our dish to main course, we've got zuppa. Zuppa comes with Zuppa Polpetta.

Zuppa Polpetta

Zuppa Polpetta is Sicilian meatball with cabbage. They use tenderloin or fat wagyu for the meatball so its chewy enough and tender inside. It is so lovely. As soup they use vegetable soup mix with cabbage and other ingredients. Then to accompany zuppa, they served with bread made by black olive, pesto and parmesan. So lovely and warming our tummy.

Then we continue our dish to main course. They served two main course, there are Beef Involtini and Scottato Branzino. Both of them make me really tempting, but I choose Beef Involtini as my main dish and the others is my friend's dish.

Beef Involtini

Beef Involtini comes with pumpkin tortellini, stuffed eggplant and porcini sauce. Involtini it means bread crumbs and sultana. Porcini sauce is mushroom sauce. Beef Involtini comes tender and yummy. Especially ravioli which stuffed with eggplant. It is succesfully make me love pumpkin, because usually I am pumpkin haters, but they make me love it.

Scottato Branzino

Scottato Branzino is seared sea bass with stuffed calamari, caponata of vegetables and anchovy dressing. This is outstanding dish of the night, because I love the sea bass really much, it is soft and tender texture especially anchovy dressing really make me love this dish. Served with calamari stuffed, it is really great moreover there are prawn on it.

Before we had dessert. We break down our night with a glass of hot tea and hot coffee. I love the coffee which is quite strong and they also have many tea choices for tea lover.

Hot Tea - Cappucino

They served us two traditional dessert from Sicily. There are Sicilian Cassata and Pistachio Tart. It is signature dessert from Italy.

Pistachio Tart - Sicilian Cassata

Sicilian Cassata is Neapolitan ice cream with candied fruit and nuts. They use raspberry sponge cake with mix fruit, ricotta and chocochip. It is really good. Then Pistachio Tart comes with mix nut tart. They use pistachio, almond and ricotta cheese. The tart is crunchy and served with chocolate custard.

Djournal Coffee

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 16 May 2013 03:00:00 +0000

Djournal Coffee is new coffee shop in town. Just open some coffee shop in this year, doesn't mean that Djournal Coffee doesn't have any experience to served great coffee. They have a unique ways to served coffee. If you are coffee lover, might be you will be understand there are many filters use to make great after taste coffee and aroma. But as I am not really into coffee, but at least I drink coffee once a week, I really happy that I have anymore choice to enjoy my time with a cup of tea.

Djournal Coffee is one of store under Ismaya Group. Ismaya Group is one of the biggest group in Food and Beverage in Indonesia. They build their own brand and create value of their brand. It is because Djournal Coffee under Ismaya Group, they have nice ambient and nice place to hang out, also they make you curious what they have in Djournal Coffee, it makes you have a reason to visit them.

They have many kinds of brewing method. It will give you another experience of having a cup of coffee. Beside that, Djournal Coffee has many coffee bean from Indonesian and arround the world. So if you want to ask you grandparents to enjoy black coffee maybe it will be a great place to be.

Since I came in late night, so I decide myself not to ordered any coffee. My mission in this visit to tried their famous cake, so maybe next time I decided to try their coffee which made by coffee filter. In this visit, I ordered Nutella Blast, it is from non coffee blended section.

Nutella Blast Rp. 42,000,-

Nutella Blast taste nice, it is typically loveable blended, especially who loves nutella. Btw, I never heard people doesn't love nutella, so this is will be favourite for people who love or hate coffee. You could choose your milk, non fat, skim milk, with or without whip cream. It is same terms like the other coffee shop.

Nutella Hazelnut Rp. 28,000,- ; Rainbow Cake Rp. 25,000,-

To accompany my non coffee blended, I ordered their famous cake. Actually they still have another cake choices, but since I already full and I don't have any space for dessert, so I choose Nutella Hazelnut and Rainbow Cake. Nutella Hazelnut is great one. I ever taste it in Jakarta Food Festival 2012 in Grand Indonesia. It is unique textured on top, because it is cracking and the nutella is really great on it. Rainbow Cake comes not really special, the cake texture little bit packes and the cream they used not really cheesy. I thought rainbow cake should made from cream cheese, isn't it.

For all, I think I must be come again to Djournal Coffee for taste the real coffee, maybe the black one will be great as starting. Then I wanna try another cake and pastry. I love the experience of coffee they bring and really love the another way they served coffee.

Contemporary French Dessert : Garcon Bistro Bar Patisserie

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 15 May 2013 02:00:00 +0000

After tired had window shopping in Senayan City and we crossed to Plaza Senayan, we thought we need to took time to had another chit chat and to straighten our leg muscle by sat in Garcon. My friend Octa said Garcon is famous with their dessert, so I kinda curious that what is Garcon speciality look like. When I walked in, they served so many yummy dessert til I have to finger licking because they have so many pretty and cute dessert to tried.

Garcon has vintage retro style interior with white colour becoming their main color. They also have long dark brown sofa, it makes this french resto not to elegant but comes with their fancy ways to welcome the customer. They served so many kinds french food, but we were still full, so we decided to tried their french dessert.

To accompany our cakes, we ordered some drinks. I ordered hot tea, I picked earlygrey. Then my friends ordered amborsie, little red and ice lemon tea. Amborsie is one of Garcon's juice specialty. It is combination between yoghurt blend, peach, raspberry, honey and lemon. It looks good with pink colour, but it taste too sweet. Maybe the honey makes it is too sweet. Little Red comes with red beat, honey, lemon juice, banana, orange juice and pineaplle. It tasty and more fresh and Amborsie.

For dessert, we picked two dessert. One from the menu they serve, the others we picked on the show case cake. We had Baba Au Rhum, Vanille Chantily and Vanille Custard Mille-feuille

Baba Au Rhum Rp. 50.000,-

Baba Au Rhum comes with white cupcakes soaked with rhum and raisins, top with whipped cream. In my opinion, it is not Garcon's best dessert. The cake is dry and even it soaked in rhum it still dry. Then for a person who doesn't really like raisins, maybe it is not the best choice at all.

Vanille Custard Mille-feuille Rp. 35,000,-

Vanille Custard Mille-feuille comes so yummy and great. I like it too, but as I remember last time I ate Mille-feuille the pastry is really easy to break. In Garcon, their Mille-feuille comes with mate and sticky custard also thick pastry.

For all, I think for the next visit I have to try their main course. Then for the service and price I think it is little bit pricey when I am not really satisfyid with cake and dessert they served. But I give them another chance for main course, maybe they served yummy and great food to taste my buds.

Actually, white asparagus is available in fresh condition like the others vegetable. To celebrate asparagus season, InterContinental Jakarta served this special season in delight palate for lunch or dinner in Scusa and Bacchus.

For me, this is my first time enjoy Scusa in InterContinental Jakarta, I feel Scusa quite welcoming working people like me. When I walked out to Scusa I feel relax and wanna spend little time of my busy day here to lounging or just have a drink. They have many several area to enjoy food in Scusa. There are bar to chill out with friends or college also table and private area, for private meeting or just special event.

Beside Fantasia, we ordered Shirley Temple, it comes with lime, grenadine syrup and soda. It is great too, especially who loves soda.

Fantasia - Shirley Temple

Before we started our white asparagus dish, we served with Walnut Bread with Feta Cheese. It is condiment special from Scusa. It taste really good, and you could dip your bread to olive sauce. It tasty and yummy also unique.

Then we started from appetiser. It is White Asparagus with fried egg, parmesan, black truffle, and rosemary butter sauce. It is so creamy and yummy also the white asparagus is fresh. This is my first time to taste fresh white asparagus.

Then we continue to White Asparagus Soup comes with Parmigiano Reggiano fritters. It is still creamy like our first appetiser, but it warmed my stomach and they served with parmigiano reggiano cheese, which is shape into ball. That cheese ball reminds me of chiki ball which is yummy and tasty. Topped with olive oil, make this soup smells good.

White Asparagus Soup comes with Parmigiano Reggiano fritters

As main course, they serve white asparagus with beef tenderloin, creamed potatoes, gorgonzola and bearnaise sauce. I request for medium well for my beef tenderloin. It comes really great. I love my beef tenderloin more over they served it with bearnaise sauce, it is so tasty and yummy. Combine with white asparagus which is fresh and light, it is balancing the dish. Don't forget to creamed potato it is matching with the beef and white asparagus.

As additional side dish, we've got some white asparagus risotto with parmesan and truffle oil and fried asparagus. It is nice risotto and fried white asparagus is kind of unique because it is so crunchy and yummy.

As dessert, we had warmed melted chocolate cake with rum raisin ice cream. Even this dessert doesn't have any connection with white asparagus, but it is really good to have dessert like this. Warmed chocolate cake usually from dark chocolate, but Chef Wawan make a little twist with warmed melted chocolate using white chocolate. It is great combination of warmed melted chocolate and ice cream. It is melted in my mouth

I'm kind of person who sometimes eat food start from appetiser, main course and dessert. Maybe I could skip the appetiser but I don't think so I could skip dessert because I am sweet tooth. Since I have sugar craving more than savoury craving, long time I heard yummy Taiwanese dessert called Sweet Poetry from Anak Jajan. But unfortunately I don't really familiar with Muara Karang area, until Sweet Poetry change their brand name become Hong Tang and open their store in PIK, so couple of weeks ago I went there. Before I went to Hong Tang, I don't have any idea what is Taiwanese dessert look like, til I come there and taste it, I really love it so much.

Hong Tang is typically Taiwanese dessert. They served more than 100 kinds of dessert served in hot or cold. You could choose your based, they have q ball, grass jelly, soya, mix pudding, taiwan tou hua, red bean soup, zimi soup, and many more.

Here's what I tried when I visited them.

Grass Jelly with Ice Cream, Pearl and Q Ball Rp. 30,000,-

This my favorite dessert everytime I went here I try to find what is another dessert who make me tempting, but again and again I fall back again with this one. I picked grass jelly based with q ball + pearl + ice cream. If you don't like matcha ice cream, you could choose vanilla ice cream, but if you are matcha lover like me, you may like their yummy matcha ice cream. Their matcha ice cream has nice texture and the bitterness level is good too. Moreover when you mix with milk, it could be nice combination at all.

Mixed Pudding with Pearl and Grass Jelly Rp. 30,000,-

This is mixed pudding. All in this plate are only pudding with many flavour and pearl. They have many pudding like, chocolate, coffee,also grass jelly on top. If you are pudding lover, you might love this pudding so much.

In my opinion, Hong Tang is the best Taiwanese dessert in Town, the service is great too and the price is affordable. Maybe for next visit I have to try their hot selection or maybe ice cream mix.

How doesn't like cake and bread? I have one of my favourite bakery called Pan Ya. Comes from Okoyama, Japan. They served natural and healthy bread. Beside that they also have unique, yummy and special than other bakery. So let me share to you, why I love them.Since so many bakery in Jakarta, they are compete with the others, trying to show how good they are served bread and cake. They want to take our attention by their food display, so it looks really tempting. But Pan Ya comes with traditional with Japanese style of bread. They successfully make me back again and again to their store.

Pan Ya has many cake and bread variant, but so far I only tried their bread. Basicly, they divided their variants into two station, there are savoury and sweet bread. In the savoury station, they have sausage bread, curry bread, etc. In sweet station, they have yummy bread such as mochi, white ball, kurumilk, melon pan, cream custard bread, donuts, oyaki choco and karumi cheese.


White Ball Rp. 7,000,- ; Mochi Rp. 5,500,- ; Kurumilk Rp. 10,000,-

Here's my favorite bread that make me back again and again to Pan Ya. There are kurumilk the long one. That is walnut bread they filled cream in the middle so it taste sweet and creamy. White Ball is the most unique bread that I ever know, it is not mochi, it is not bapau, neither is bread. So they are successful make three combination between mochi, pau and bread. The last one is mochi. Even though the mochi has no filling inside, but I like the texture the present in mochi. It is chewy and empty in the middle.

If you are kinda curious what it taste, go grab them in address bellow
