Cravingsatisfied TRANSFORM INTO FOODMEDZ!!

03:46
Hello everyone, long time no see and I hope you guys miss me hahaha. If you guys aware that I don't post any blog entry recently, because I want to change my blog name from cravingsatisfied into FOODMEDZ (Play soundtrack Happy - by Pharrell Williams). Some of you will ask me "Why you changing your blog name? Cravingsatisfied already perfect". Okay I will explain the reason for you guys.
I'm changing my blog name because I want implicate one of my life goal (living healthy lifestyle by eating great food) into my blog and stop confusing everyone. In my past post, I review my experience about the restaurant, crave and satisfied factor and medical fact about food. Like, what is the correlation between crave and satisfied factor and medical fact. There is no CORRELATION! So, I want to end this confusing madness once for all by changing my blog name.
Some of my friends ask me "do I have to starve myself to lower my weight?", "do I need restrict my carbohydrates or fat intake?", "do I need stop eating sugar?" The answer for all these question is NO! These questions always make me mad because food is not the enemy to achieving a healthy lifestyle.  

Foodmedz will be a blog about food and their medical facts which help you guys understand what  kind of food that you eat and  help you guys to relieve the fears about eating food. 

Lastly to end this post, I will inform you guys that I will stop using crave and satisfied factor and I will starting using score 1 - 5 to rate my overall experience about the restaurant that I visited and avoid misunderstanding.

19:14
Recently, PIK Avenue just opened Japanese themed food court and the name is Dotonbori. The food court sells a lot of affordable Japanese food such as takoyaki, donburi, sushi, and many more. When I visit the Dotonbori, I got totally confuse from all available option to choose from. Because, I'm craving for ice cream at that time, so I choose Koiyaki for now and the store has buy 1 parfait get 1 free any parfait flavour (exclude toppings). 
Koiyaki is Japanese soft serve ice cream shop and the store only sells 2 flavors, which is Hokkaido milk and Japanese green tea. The soft serve ice cream is available in 3 options, Cone, Cup Parfait, and Taiyaki.  In addition, you can choose any kind toppings for your choice of ice cream. The ice cream price ranging from IDR 15K - 38K. 
Japanese Green Tea Parfait IDR 38K
The ice cream has soft creamy texture, not to sweet and the taste of the Japanese Matcha is perfect for my taste.
The Hokkaido milk flavor is nice too, the ice cream has a nice creamy texture and nice balance of sweetness.

BEAU HQ by Talita Setyadi

23:54
Beau HQ is a bakery shop owned by Indonesian Pastry Chef Talita Setyadi. This bakery shop specialised in making of pastries and artisan bread by using fresh, locally sourced Ingredients. The pastries are freshly baked everyday, so you won't find any a day old bread in this shop. And the coffee comes from Common Ground, so you won't find any tasted coffee too LOL.

The cafe is located right across mister sunday (for anyone can't find Beau HQ in google maps, you should search mister sunday instead). 


The moment I arrived at the cafe, I can smelled the amazing aroma of freshly baked bread and flowers. The cafe has an outdoor and interior seating, and the interior filled with a lot of beautiful flowers and the artisan pastries. (I recommend you guys to choose indoor seating, because the cafe is located near the traffic road, so you will hear the annoying car sound if you choose outdoor seating).
Astrid (Slice) IDR 45K

Astrid is derived from german word that means divine beauty, such like the name the cake is really a beauty. This is multilayer cake that give you many kind texture from soft to crunchy texture with one bite. The taste is soft, creamy, velvet and butter nutty flavor. 
Mont Violet IDR 50K






















Mont Violet isn't just beautiful cake but is super delicious! The cake has soft, creamy, sweet taro filling and sweet crumble buttery cake on the bottom. Flavor combination from the creamy filling and buttery is truly amazing. 
Smorrebrod IDR 40K (each) or IDR 100k/3 pieces


Smorrebrod or Danish open-faced sandwich is one of the best dish that BEAU can offer!! At first, I was thought this gonna taste healthy bland dish but I was WRONG, TOTALLY WRONG! This is the most delicious dish that I have tasted when I visit BEAU. As the name smorrebrod, the bread is dark rye bread, and the topping that I choose is chicken breast, prosciutto and beef pastrami. All of the topping give every sandwich their own unique taste and texture, for the overall dish is delicious. They have 7 option of topping smorrebrod that you can choose: Prosciutto, Beef Pastrami, Pork Salami, Chicken Breast, Chicken Liver, Gravad Laks, and Roasted Pumpkin.

BEAU HQ has gave me a wonderful experience of flavor. Every dish is execute so perfectly and without flaws. 

That's the end of this post guys, and this is my overall score for this cafe:
Crave factor 10/10
Satisfied factor 10/10
Return for more - definitely YES!

I hope you guys enjoy it and stay tune for my next post.

Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart - Kota Kasablanka

01:43
Yes! finally I can try Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart after long wait. It's quite hard for me to travel around Jakarta because the uncertain clerkship schedule (the suffering of medical student LOL).
Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart outlet doesn't have any seating, so you can only grab and go. It has 2 outlet which is located in Kota Kasablanca (LG Floor) and Senayan City (LG Floor), and the outlet only sell one item which is the Baked Cheese Tart!
Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart IDR 20K
It has a nice flaky crust and creamy cheesy filling in the middle. I think the cheese tart is half baked because the filling still runny when I took my first bite, and the flavor of the cheese is on point. Fyi, you can buy 5 piece of baked cheese tart and get 1 FREE!!

Toby's Estate Coffee Roasters Indonesia - Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) Avenue

23:02

Toby's Estate Coffee Roasters is the most talked about coffee shop in town recently. This coffee is originated from Sydney, Australia and has finally opened for public on 10th of December. The outlet is located in Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) Avenue Mall on ground floor and precisely in front of North Lobby, so don't try find it inside the mall like I did.

This coffee shop has a big space that can hold many number people in single service. If you want to see the process of Toby's Estate Coffee, you should sit on the bar and watch the amazing barista in action. By the way, I can't show you guys the interior because during my visit is so crowded and I can't find any good pic of the interior to show you guys.

The best thing come from the coffee shop is the opening hours which is 7AM. If you want to have nice breakfast or get your daily dose coffee, you can come to Toby's in early morning. Beside coffee, the coffee shop sells many various Australian dishes such as salad, pasta, fried chicken and many more. For me, I choose Buttermilk chicken with corn frita.
Ice Latte IDR 50K

Normally, when I ordered latte, the espresso and milk already combine without any hassle. At toby's they separate the milk and the espresso when serving, so I suggest you guys when ordering this drink pour the espresso quickly before some of the sweet coffee nectar stick into the glass. 
Cappuccino IDR 40K

The coffee has strong bold flavor with low acidic taste to it. This type of coffee is perfect for my taste bud. Beside that, the cappuccino has the perfect ratio of milk and coffee, two thumbs up for that.
Butter Milk Chicken with Corn Frita IDR 105K
When the waiter arrived with this dish, my mouth has already watered with saliva because it's the best looking fried chicken I ever saw in my life. I will break it down the component that make this beautiful dish. From the top to the bottom: 2 piece of buttermilk chicken, coleslaw, and nice corn frita at the bottom and they top it of with their homemade ranch dressing. The deep fried chicken is very juicy and crispy, and the flavor profile is amazing, it combines well with other component of the dish.
For my opinion, this place is perfect for brunch. The meal, coffee, and vibe is perfect for nice chitchat  on lazy afternoon if you ask me.

That's the end of this post guys, and this is my overall score for this cafe:
Crave factor 10/10
Satisfied factor 9.5/10
Return for more - definitely YES!

I hope you guys enjoy it and stay tune for my next post.

He.Brews Coffee Corner - Pantai Indah Kapuk

22:08
Every morning when I get up from bed, I usually start my day by thanking GOD for giving me a brand new day to live and then make myself a perfect cup of coffee. The aroma and taste of the freshly brewed coffee always help in lighten up my mood.  That's the reason I'm in love with this coffee shop because the moment when I'm entered He.Brews Coffee Corner, they greeted me with amazing aroma of their freshly grind-brewed coffee.
 
The interior of He.Brews Coffee Corner is quite simple and minimalistic if you ask me because the cafe shares their space with small boutique that sells women clothing and unique knick knack. Beside that the interior gave the cafe nice ambience. The cafe ambience is one of the reason I'm in love with this coffee shop because you won't notice the time when you enjoying your coffee or chatting with friends/family or just finishing your past due papers LOL.
Ice Honey Lemon Yakult IDR 45K
This beverage is quiet refreshing especially on hot day although now is raining season in Jakarta. The taste was unique for my taste bud because the yakult was slight tangy and lemon juice compelled perfectly with yakult. I suggest you to order this beverage after a long day of work or nice hard workout, it will surely refresh body.
Cappuccino IDR 40K
There is no need for any more explanation for the coffee, because they make perfect brewed coffee in my opinion. I know I'm not certified coffee expertise but I know when someone makes perfect brewed coffee.

That's the end of this post guys, and this is my overall score for this cafe:
Crave factor 9/10
Satisfied factor 9/10
Return for more - definitely YES!

I hope you guys enjoy it and stay tune for my next post.

Pablo - Gandaria City

17:26
The anticipation is over guys! The number one baked cheese tart from japan has arrived in JAKARTA. Pablo Cheese Tart which originated from Osaka has open  in Jakarta, Indonesia on 17th November 2016 at Gandaria City Mall. Fyi, I haven't try the original Pablo Cheese Tart in Osaka, Japan but I'll make sure I'm gonna pay a visit to try the original one when I come to Japan.
The outlet is located at UG Floor beside double pot restaurant. The outlet has several seating areas so you guys can choose whether you wanna enjoy your freshly baked product on the spot or bring it home to enjoy it later with your family/friends. (At that time I chose to bring it home and enjoy it with my family and friends) 



Wide variety of pablo frute flavors. From left to right: Rich berry cheese IDR 60K, Special chocolate IDR 55K, Classic Cheese Tart IDR 60K, Matcha with shiratama IDR 60K, and Rich mango cheese IDR 55K.





Freshly Baked Cheese Tart IDR 169K

To get this beautiful freshly baked cheese tart you need to put a little bit effort which is queue in a very long line (For me, I waited approx. 2 hours!). The taste was quite nice, it was creamy and not too sweet which was perfectly paired with the pie crust. Unfortunately, the flavor of the cheese wasn't strong enough, so it tasted more like an ordinary sweet tart instead of cheese tart.
Matcha with shiratama IDR 60k
I really love this beverages, the matcha flavor smoothie combines well with the matcha jelly, shiratama, and ogura whipped cream.  When you guys order this beverage, I suggest you guys to mix it well with the straw and drink it, but leave the jelly to be eaten later after you've finished your drink.

That's the end of this post guys, and this is the overall score for this cafe:
Crave factor 5/10
Satisfied factor 4/10
Return for more - No, except when I'm crave the frute

I hope you guys enjoy it and stay tune for my next post.
