3 weeks ago, we tried this small & stylish cafe inside Glow Store at Plaza Indonesia. It was a branch of the old Kemang stalwart. Although the place is not big, the interior is decorated in classic contemporary style. They have several cakes displayed in the counter, but there's not much to select from the menu. We ordered Du Hammam Tea (green tea, rose, green date and red fruit) 25K++ and from their dessert list we ordered chocolate profiterole (filled with stracciatella ice cream and caramel sauce) 45K++. I like the profiterole very much, with the ice cream containing coarsely ground peanuts. The tea was also good. Pricey, but worth my every rupiahs :D

Coffee Tree

Posted by jeny at 10:37 AM

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 :)

Kedai Teko

Posted by jeny at 11:46 AM

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.

Gongfu Cha With Siang Ming Tea

Posted by jeny at 11:48 AM

Last Weekend we attended a "Gongfu Cha Ceremony" at Siang Ming Tea Shop. Gongfu Cha Ceremony is one of several kind "tea ceremony culture" from Taiwan. It is a way of preparing tea skillfully to produce and share a satisfying cup of tea. Its different from the Chanoyu tea ceremony from Japan, it was more relaxed, encouraging all participants to speak freely with each other throughout.

Before we began. we ate some jajanan pasar ( traditional sweet cakes ) because some tea could not be taken with empty stomach. Then we gathered around the tea master, watching she began the ritual to brew a good tea : boiling fresh water in the brewing pot, rinse the teapot & cups by pouring hot water on it, adding the tea leaves & pour the boiled water to the tea cup and the transfered it to the serving cups. We tried so many kind of tea (more than 6) : Cinnamon Oolong (black dragon tea), Long Jing (dragon well green tea), Lychee Black Tea, Pu erh (fermented black tea), Bi Luo Chun (Green Snail Spring Tea), & my fav Ku Ding Cha (a very bitter green tea with an underlying sweet taste. The bitter taste wears off after the first sip followed by a pleasant sweet undertone).

Bakoel Koffie

Posted by jeny at 05:09 PM

Tired of hangout at Starbuck / Coffee Bean, Last weekend with a couple of friends we headed to "Bakoel Koffie" Cikini. From what I heard Bakoel Koffie serves a various coffee provided by good quality beans taken from Indonesia’s plantations in Sumatra, Sulawesi, Timor, Java and Bali.

I'm not a big fan of coffee so I can't tell much about the coffee quality here, but I guess it was OK lah, not bad judging from all the seat in this place mostly occupied :P The place was decorated in a warm nostalgic atmosphere, being inside the cafe just like seeing old movies, here and there alot off people chatting. and since I can't stand smoke we choose to sit at the non smoking section. I accidentally meeting Feby there, and had quite a good time there drinking Coffee Mocca.

Bakoel Koffie was located at :
