Hwellooowww!!

Oh dear i miss this blog but i've been so hectic to keep up with things >.< but still!!! Ganbare me!!!! Will have to update more!!! Perseverance!!!

But anyway desserts while working is a great focussing sugary boost xD

Too cute~~~~ xD

Nasi Goreng Hitam

Long John with beef paste, beef kebab, Cheese and Egg.

Ice Durian Ovomaltine

I finally sat down and eat in OTW food street. The recent hip place in Kelapa Gading. Always crowded with people and only open in the evening.

I came with a group of friends who's as curious as I was. So we queued and surprisingly we wait for a while and then we're called to our table. Quite fast actually, i didn't expect that. OTW street food is actually somekind of food court concept. It consist of 4 different food joint - martabak, drinks, dessert (cendol and durian and Kue Cubit) and the main course (noodles, rice and burgers). You order them on the respective seller, pay them first and the food will be delivered to your table.

Getting a table was fast but a different story in queuing to order and food delivery. They really did take quite sometime. The queue for ordering in the main course section was.. not really long, but each customer took sometime to order. Basically because they didn't put a big menu where everyone can see and choose while they wait and not enough menu books. And the cashier was not being helpful, i mean she could really hasten the ordering proses but i find her somewhat slow in responding when i ordered. And the food getting out from their kitchen is really sloooowwww, i didn't count but i'm guessing we're waiting around 30 minutes until we can get our Long John. The rice meal was quicker to be delivered. Kinda weird, because i'd assumed that rice meal needs time to prepare while burger and sandwich is basically half prepared already. But that's what happen. *shrugs*

The black squid fried rice (Nasi goreng hitam) taste quite good in my opinion. This is my first time eating squid ink fried rice. So i can't compare to any other, but i found it taste ok. Different from usual fried rice and to compare them i think i prefer the usual one, but this one quite appetising XD While the long john taste like.. I almost can't taste any beef, only bread and tomato sauce and mayonnaise. Though they did grilled the bun so it's a bit crunchy on the inside but nothing special. Beef patty should be a better choice but they haven't sell the Long John with beef patty yet. And another let down is they don't have french fries!!!! I love to have the burgers with french fries.

The Durian ovomaltine though... YUMMY!!!! i really love it!!!! Shaved ice, durian juice, grass jelly, chocolate ice cream and then poured with a squirt of ovomatine. Apart from the grass jelly, i thought it's pretty good combination. I didn't expect chocolate going well with durian but it does. The only thing annoying is the grass jelly, because i don't think it fits together. And it's quite expensive, durian ovomaltine 30k but still i would go and buy it again XD The service is fast too, either ordering and delivering is fast. so I'm really satisfied.

On the place, I think it's just so so, half of the place is outdoor. But I think it's better to sit outside since the indoor was quite hot, albeit all the air conditioner was on full blast. The place was packed, the seat is small so not so comfy to sit on for a long time. The pricing is affordable, main course ranging from 20-40k, Long John 45-55k, drinks 5-40k, desserts 15-30k. I didn't check the martabak one so i can't say for sure.

All in all, i really love the durian. I'll go back just for that XD

Opening: 4 - 10 pm.

For couple of days we've been using this place for our ads shooting projects. So naturally when i was surrounded by cake, it was my natural instinct to go and want to eat them XD especially the chocolate one XD

So at the end of the shoots, i finally lost to temptation and just order what i had wanted for days. The chocolate oreo tart (47.5k). It was what i have expected, chocolate. Though it looks so small, I actually can't finish it. I was surprised that it was so dense with dark chocolate, chocolate ganache, chocolate sponge complete with the tart crust at the bottom. I was hoping for it to be more moist than it was and as usual i'm not a fan of tart crust. It was not DA BOMB but it was enough to satisfy my cravings XD

Hmmm the other fruit tart looks extremely tempting XD

Went out with friends to discuss about our project.

Stopping by at "Cubite, it's a short of Kue Cubit Tete. A little bit naughty name and presentation as you can see on the picture XD But i thought their creative ;)

Kue Cubit (if i translate it literally it would be 'pinch cake' xD) is such an "IN" thing here in Jakarta. So this street parlor has been mobbed by people. Personally i don't really like their Kue Cubit creation , i thought their a bit bland and not rich of flavor enough to satisfy my palette. but apparently they are such a hit in this neighbourhood. Their Kue Cubit is ranging between 18-50k (50K is for Baileys flavor Kue Cubit). They also have a variety on instant noodle to eat there. I've never tried them so i can't really say but they really do have a lot of variety. From local instant noodle to the imported one. Now that i really want to try!

Cookies made by p-chan xD

Desserts menu

Hot pure chocolate

Banana Tartin

Plants

Pralines collection

I've found this place by accident, when i was browsing for other chocolate desserts place. But since this one have an open kitchen and built from scratch chocolate, it's intrigue me and i just had to drag Q-tan to this place.

This ended up as the 2nd place we visited after the 1/15 cafe. When we met we spent a really long time sitting in one place, it even feel awkward to order anything after 3 hours lunch would it? XD We found out that this place is close to the cafe so after our initial search and getting lost, we found it. The first floor is the open kitchen and the 2nd floor is the dining place.

Unluckily when we arrived, they didn't have free table for us, since half of the place was closed due to an event. And sadly they didn't have any waiting area, so we awkwardly standing there, waiting. They really should have waiting area, seriously. After a while we thought we should just do a take away and try the drink first, and came back next time if we thought it taste decent. After we ordered the drink and paid, we saw some people just went up and paid, so we got ourself a table... At this point of time i feel that, compared to just wait and being served, i think it's better to be proactive in here, because it seems the staff was pretty clueless as much as we were.

Looking at the menu, they really got a lot of creative things going on and all looks so interesting. We have ordered Hot pure choco, which is melted dark chocolate mixed with milk or basically hot dark chocolate for me and Ice Choco Salt Caramel for Q-tan. I got to say i'm impressed with the chocolate drinks they serve here. Mostly in other chocolate parlor, when they say dark chocolate, you will got little bit bitter version of milk chocolate, I would say it's like 30% dark chocolate bar. While in Pipiltin cocoa, you really got your dark chocolate, it;s bitter yet still sweet, my hot pure chocolate taste like around 50-60% dark chocolate bar. It's really a hot chocolate made for adult. It's rich, bitter-sweet, and thick but still easily drink down on your throat. They didn't made fun of dark chocolate and i love them for it. While the Ice choco salt caramel, really does taste like it should, it's salty and caramel sweet with strong taste of bitter chocolate. it really is a very interesting combination. Taste damn good.

Then we've decided to settle ourself with Plants (cookie crumbs cake with honeycomb covered in dark chocolate) along with Deconstructed Banana Tartin.

When it first came into our table, I was simply blown away with the creativity. The first to arrive is the Plants. It looks like a bonsai on top of a big rock with 2 honeycomb 'rock' on the side. The small bonsai tree was really potted in a real plants pot. Really if i'm not in this store and you gave me this, i would assume its actually people trying to play with dirt, because the cookie crumbs does look like a real dirt. The 'bush' is made of cotton candy, a very sticky one, but taste good. A chocolate 'trunk' and the 'dirt' made of layered chocolate sponge and lemon cream (something like chocolate tiramisu just minus the coffee) covered in cookies crumbs. The actual cake actually taste decent, lemony, sweet, a bit chocolaty taste and a surprise of a whole berry fruits inside, but the cookie crumbs taste like mothballs (it's not like i have ever eat mothball but yeah i figure if i do eat them it will taste like this) so when you eat them altogether it give this horrible aftertaste in your mouth. So we try to get rid of the cookies crumb when we ate the 'Plants'. Luckily the honeycomb taste absolutely delightful. Overly sweet covered with bitter dark chocolate, so it's balance well in your mouth. and of course the chocolate itself that they use for the 'trunks' was exquisite. If it's not for that i might trash this desserts quite badly.

Then came the Banana Tartin. As always the presentation itself blew us away. it has two injection tubes, one caramel, one chocolate cream, salt caramel tuiles, banana cream and banana cake. Really looks like food playground, and the way to eat it is start from the tuile and go the left side putting the sauce, dip on the cream before you much them. I never had such fun playing and eating with a desserts XD when i eat them altogether (without including the cake) it taste like banana ledre (a traditional indonesian snack) the banana cream taste so banana, almost feel like you eating banana milk puree.. if that's making sense XD the tuile was soft crunchy, could be more awesome if it was crunchier. Too bad the cake was hard and doesn't taste appetising and fun like the rest of the plate. But still it was fun!

The place is pretty comfy, a little bit too rustique for me and the decor is really raw, and the lighting is pretty minimum (hence the hard time for me to take a picture since it's already dark outside when we finally get a table - should have brought camera) but hey you came here to play with your food XD

Pricing is upscale, our drink is around 44-47k each, their specialty drink varies around 30-50k while the dessert varies around 50-70k. They also have savoury food, which varies around 40-90k. They also sell ordinary slice cake and pralines. They got this promo, tweet pipiltin cocoa picture while tagging their username and show them to the staff and you get yourself a free praline/macarons, which of course i took advantage of, i could say their pralines is pretty good. Basically their chocolate quality is great so it's no wonder at least they can make a decent pralines.

All in all i would really love to come back to just saw the creativity. Taste was a bit arguable, since none of the desserts really blew me away. But if you're looking to have a grown up hot chocolate while keeping check with your childish side, i think this place is a good place to visit XD

Pipiltin Cocoa

Jl. Barito II no. 5

Mocha

Ice Cappucinno

French Toast

Big Breakfast

Q-tan is a coffee drinker and she found this cafe since she went past it a few times. She told me she has interest to visit it and try their coffee (she is a legitimate coffee lover unlike me XD) And of course if it's a cafe i would like to check on it XD

So last saturday we went and visit it. I must say, it did look interesting from the front. There's parking space but parking in south area is always tricky as usual. But we didi get a parking space fine and we went in.

The place is simplistic, in natural tone and very welcoming. This would be the perfect cafe for working. I spot a few cushion seat but most of the seat is wooden seat some with back support, some only stools. They use a very large glass windows so a large amount of natural light, since i was visiting during daytime. The lighting on the store itself is pretty subdued, soft evening light kinda feeling.

Came in the store and went straight to ordered on the ordering desk. The ordering is pretty challenging on it's own. They only provide, menus on the ordering desk, we pretty much spent quite a while in front of the cashier because of that. (I'm choosy XD) Which make me feel rushed since there are other customer queuing behind us. And after you pay they give us number and then you can choose where to seat, wherever you want to XD.

I ordered Mocha and French toast while Q-tan have Big breakfast and Iced Cappuccino (they have all day breakfast here, which is always get a high point from me XD) Usually i'm staying away from coffee on weekend, unless i really have to drink them. But since we were visiting a place that are well known for their coffee, I thought i should have made an exception.

My mocha was exquisite, creamy, not overly sweet, balance between chocolate, milk and coffee. The coffee itself is not strong, I felt fine drinking it without adding anything or making me nauseous afterwards. Q-tan also said that the coffee was good (that's a certified comment there XD) My french toast was fluffy and soft and lovely, would be perfect if they gave us more maple syrup because i'm such a sweet tooth but it's great. While Q-tan's big breakfast have quite a flaw in my opinion. the corn fritter taste a bit bland, great salsa sauce on top though but the fritter itself is bland and the texture feels like i was eating corn shell. They also overcooked the poached eggs, so there's no melting yellow goodness, which is disappointing. but the sausage taste heavenly, greatly seasoned. Overall was ok but surely it could be better.

Pricing is pretty upscale. Drinks varies between 25-40 (I didn't manage to really learn the menu, i knew they also sell non-coffee drinks but i didn't properly see the drink menu so yeah i could be wrong) Breakfast varies around 50-90k, they also sell desserts and pastries. I spent around 102k for my french toast and mocha, while Q-tan spent around 110k.

The place was pretty crowded when we were there, most of them doing works and meeting to discuss things. No wonder really, the ambience really do support you to do your works XD I'm pretty hooks with this place and would be great place for me to do my works. Too bad it's so far away. at least i will try to come back for the desserts next time XD

27/04/2014 11:30 pm Day 3 #100happydays : Found this cute buns and bought it for breakfast tomorrow pic.twitter.com/Bd7P4J3Fg5

Just strolling around when i found a stall selling these buns. I just have to stop and bought it because it's just too cute.

Somewhat expensive (6.5k per bun) but just had to try it!

~ tokie ~

Found this in Tous Les Jours and i instantly falling in love with the packaging (as usual, tokie's bad habit)

So since i was going to visit my cousin who's in hospital, i bought 2 of them. One for me and the other for her.

The packaging is glass jar so i can reuse it for something else now XD (i'd expect they will use glass jars for a short while though like many other establishment) they sell vanilla and chocolate and of course i choose chocolate. XD

The pudding is soft, it's like creme brûlée without bake sugar on top. There's 3 layers, the chocolate pudding (since it's soft in texture it's almost like mouse but much more condensed) rich chocolate flavour with vanilla pudding and caramel syrup on bottom. Delish!

It coat you 25k per bottle, not much and quite expensive but i think it's standard price for pudding in jars right?

Ain't this so cute?!

To commemorate our kinki kids gathering, peachy_cyo and Oey, design and bough this cupcake.

Too bad i got Tsuyoshi for both cupcake. I aim for a set but i mistakenly took 2 Tsuyoshi >.<

But anyway they taste awesome XD and i feel bad biting them >.<

Been a long time i haven't got this xD

Well a friend ask me to buy this, so i did :p

Try this today and hmm... Too sweet!

Well i don't like green tea kitkat so i don't really expect much from this. It does taste a little bit different from the normal matcha but hmm i'm not sure what's the difference .... Just too sweet for me >.<

Received this from 3 different person XD thanks friends!!!!
