Mar 8 |Ragusa

Last week, after lunch at Dapur Umum, we headed to Ragusa for dessert. I have read/heard about this famous place for so long, but this is the first time I went to this place. The place was crowded when we arrived there around 2PM, but luckily we still can get a table. we look around and see that besides ice cream, we also can order some food like sate ayam, otak-otak, bakmi ayam from the street vendor outside Ragusa (too bad we just had lunch). So we only ordered the famous spaghetti ice cream 26K, Banana Split 26K, Nougat Ice cream 13K, and Orange Float 16K. Overall the ice cream taste was delicious. the spaghetti ice cream was shapped like spaghetii and placed in a spagheti bowl, topped with bits of dried fruit and nuts. It tasted light and not as creamy as I though it should be.

Jan 30 |Patisserie Francois

After a not so successful dinner, we wandered around in the mall and I was attracted to a small space (it only has 2 small tables) with clean decoration that sells home made desserts. They offer 40% discount after 8PM (if I'm not mistaken), so we sat down and tried Hawaiian Parfait which surprisingly tasted very good. The place also offers coffee to go with the dessert. We definitely will be back. :)

Dec 18 |Pan & Cook

Last weekend we tried a new pancake restaurant located at Puri Indah, The place was actually a residential house transformed into a commercial space. When we arrived there's a birthday party held on the first floor, so we proceed to the second floor and choose to sit at the terrace, got the menu and picked the original sweet pannekoek - small (served with dusting sugar, whipcream and Dutch stroop) 12K , savoury pannekoek : the great bratwurst (pannekoek with grill beef bratwurst served with apple kraut and red pepper sauce) 25K, and Ice Lemongrass Tea 15K. Overall the meal taste was not bad, but not spectacular. The pannekoek looks more like crepe, I'm not sure what is Dutch Pannekoek looks like, but with that price I think I like the one at Pancious better (for the generous portion and decent taste) :)

Nov 13 |Mama Home-made Ice Cream

Last month, I read about this small bakery that serves Chocolate Melt. Being a chocolate melt lover, of course I want to try it. The place is located in Mediterania Garden apartment - Tanjung Duren. The place itself is small, and was already full with guests when we arrived (most of them are smoking as there's no rule against smoking), so we decided to sit in the lobby area, and ordered Chocolate Melt 14K. To accompany the cake, we can order a scoop of their home made ice cream (vanilla 8K, other flavors 13.5K). I usually choose vanilla, but the waiter suggested rum & raisin, so we ordered that. When it came, I asked for a mint leaf on top of the ice cream (I always love mint with ice cream), but since they didn't have mint leaves, they gave me a cherry instead. Overall the cake was delicious, although a bit on the sweet side. The rum and raisin ice cream turned out great. We also ordered a piece of devil's chocolate cake 8K, but the taste is somewhat similar to Brownies Kukus Amanda.

Sep 6 |Coffee Tree

Last month we visited this small coffee shop located at Artha Gading Mall. We heard that this place was a serious coffee shop selling fresh roast and grind coffee. There were various choices of coffee from : traditional coffee (french pressed, vacuum brew, vietnamese style, black coffee, cafe au lait & kopi susu) to expresso based coffee, but since I'm not really a coffee lover, I only ordered a cup of chai milk tea 25K and Tiramisu 29K. The chai taste OK, although not as strong as i expected, but I surely love the tiramisu (soft, not too sweet, creamy and very aromatic coffee, cmiww), seeing that I only ordered a chai milk tea, the head barista approached us and suggested to brew us a single shot of cappucino to accompany my tiramisu. It was perfect, although I don't know much about coffee, I'm very impressed with this one. We will be back :)

Aug 22 |Awfully Chocolate

Last month, when we passed Pondok Indah, we saw there is
a sign called "awfully chocolate". We were wondering whether Awfully
Chocolate opening their second branch there. The exterior & interior of
this place was so minimal, you will never guess that its a cake shop, there
is no cake displayed. I liked the place design but I think it was too cold for
a cake shop. :)

They offered 3 types of chocolate cake : all chocolate (original chocolate
cake with dark chocolate fudge) 150Kchocolate banana (two layers of banana in
between signature dark chocolate cake) 165K and chocolate rum and cherry (dark chocolate cake with sweet pitted cherries and dash of rum). We picked chocolate rum and cherry. For 185K we got 0.5kg of cake, if we want more than 0.5kg we have to ordered it by phone. I think it was quite pricey. But the cake was simply delicious, without any fancy decorating, the chocolate sponge cake was cold, soft, not too sweet.

Jul 27 |Kedai Teko

From BumiSangkuriang, we moved to Kedai Teko for a cup of tea. I always like this place, it was so homy, surrounded by trees, i could spend hours here doing nothing :) Since we were still full from what we had at lunch time, we only ordered a pot of chi to share. chi actually is what we knew as Masala Chai (Indian spices tea). The pot came with 2 small cup and a bamboo strainer, when I open the pot I saw various of spices like : cardamon, cloves, cinammon, ginger & star anise at the bottom of the pot, the tea already mixed with milk. After a while we pour the tea and putting the strainer on top of the cup to prevent the inggredients fall to the cup. and the tea taste so delicious, I can tell that this is the most delisious chi I ever tasted :) We still want to go back there some other time to try their Poffertjes, tiramisu & home made ravioli.

Jun 15 |Parish

Last weekend we stopped by this 'fancy' cake shop. At first we planned to taste their cake on spot, but turn out the place was quite small and the only place to sit was showered by hot sunlight. so we decided to packed several cake choices and bring it to Q. We choose 4 types of cake in 8x8 cm (18.5K) : "diablo chocolate square" (Parish's devilicious signature dark chocolate cake), fudge chocolate square" (chunky milk chocolate all the way), "tiramisu" and "greentea cake". all this cake came with free topping bar (we picked MnM & marsmallow ) & wrapped in a black box with maroon ribbon (quite nice packaging i said). In my opinion, the cakes taste so so, the only acceptable cake was only the 'diablo' which taste OK lah, the other was either too sweet (fudge & tiramisu) or taste weird (green tea). I don't know.. I don't really like this place, I think they only sell a so so cake with nice packaging :( btw there's quite delicious sate ayam in front of this place.

May 16 |Pancious

We passed trough this place last weekend and I insisted we turn back and tried this place. It was very crowded on Sunday afternoon, the only seat left was in the smoking section, luckily there's a customer want to swap place with us so we can sit in the non smoking section. I like the interior of this place, designed in modern minimalism style. Red & dark grey wall with simple hanging lamp combined with white table and chair. Jazz music was playing in the background while people chat & dig on their meal happily. it really create a very cozy atmosphere. The menu it self was quite interesting, various of sweet and savory pancake, waffle. They even got pasta selection and steak. So we ordered : original pancakes (3 pancakes with maple syrup) and sausage and salami (two original pancakes or waffles, smoked beef, salami, sausages, cheese) 32K. for drinks we ordered : ice tea (refill) and "mango, almond & strawberry juice". SC's original pancake came first while I have to wait about half an hour for my savory pancake. Overall the pancake was good, cooked into perfection. but it's a bit too much for us, we both feel very full afterwards :)

Jan 30 |CIZZ

I know about this place from Cereth, she told me that she just have a very orgasmic 'cheese cake'. So I went there on one weekend when I have a task to buy birthday cake for my friends. When we entered the building, my eyes quickly caught by a very tempting display of various type of cheesecake that was calling me to try them, so after we the cake (chocolate cheese cake 10*20 75K), we ordered double cizz tart "yang sangat gondrong" and blueberry cheese cake and just sat there forgetting that we have a dinner reservation two hours later. Surprisingly the cake wasn't as sweet as I thought such a "gondrong" cheese cake should be :P it is so delicious, it was consist of 3 layer of soft cheese cake + creamcheese & covered with lots and lots of cheese (maybe thats why they called it double cheese), my friend's blueberry cheese cake also not bad at all that she decided to went back to cizz the next day and bought the whole cake 20*20 (135K) :) after that I ordered 'truffle torte' to take home (it was melted already when I arrived home that night but still tasted so delicious).

Jan 22 |Chic's Loaf

One day I received 4 loaves of home-made bread from Chic's Loaf. It is not just an ordinary 'roti tawar' that usually found at the bakery, the aroma of the bread suddenly makes me so hungry and decided to have that bread for lunch. I'm not a bread lover but this one is an exception, its a "Herbed Cheese" - garlic & cheese bread with lots of herbs like oregano/basil inside the bread 20K each. The other variety is "Herbed Smoked Beef" garlic & cheese with smoked beef 25K each and "Cinnamon Raisin". both of the bread taste so delicious. and the top of the bread was smeared with olive oil. I guess that is one of the reason why the bread color was golden brown & smell so good. :)

Last Night, J.CO donuts opened another store at Mall Taman Anggrek. I happened to be there at that time, and we decided to take a look, the place was so crowded, there's a long queue to get the donuts. meanwhile at the same time another donuts place seems deserted, even the popular rotiboy didn't have any queue. I just can't wait to see when Krispy Kreme open at "Senayan City", will it be as crowded as this one?

We noticed that there is a very crowded place in Pesanggrahan called "Sandwich Bakar Kedai Kopi", located next to the "Nasi Uduk Kebon Kacang". Actually I thought this place was the reason why Pesangrahan street always so crowded at night. :)

They served various type of : Roti Bakar Manis, Sandwich Bakar, Appetizer, Steak (without salad), Dessert and Drinks with a very very reasonable price. Since we already had "nasi uduk kebon kacang", we only ordered : Sandwich bakar tuna crispy salad : small (9K), Sandwich bakar smoked fish marlin salad : small (9K) & Ronde kacang campur (Mixed Bali Peanuts) with ginger soup 10K. we can extra meat, egg and cheese to the sandwich with additional change. The wedang ronde contained mixed ronde with peanut, bunga teratai, red bean, green tea, durian & chocolate inside, very creative i said :)

I dragged SC to Bakerzin EX last week to taste their famous "Chocolate Souffle with thyme ice cream", it's my favorite dessert here, although they said they have the best tiramisu here, I still prefer to have the souffle. its a warm chocolate cake with hot chocolate sauce In the middle of it. We have to wait about half an hour for them to prepare and bake it, but its worth waiting. Souffle should be eaten quickly, while hot and before it falls. Bon Appetite :)
