Pablo - Gandaria City

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.

Tangerang

Kakolait - Gading Serpong

Unknown 04:33

ATTENTION PLEASE! I'm calling all the chocoholic!! For there's a new cafe in town named KAKOLAIT. Why am I calling only the chocoholic? Because, Kakolait is a cafe which has a specialty in producing chocolate-based desserts and drinks. The cafe is located in Gading Serpong, and it's only one shop away from Cotive Workingspace & Coffee. (Click here for my review of Cotive's).

Kakolait interior dominated mostly with the color of brown and white. I thought they wanted to show all the chocolate elements into their interior, and they had achieve it based on my opinion. (How about you guys? do you think they achieve it?)

Kakolava IDR 40K

This chocolate lava cake should ORDER when you come to this cafe. Their chocolate lava cake is so heavenly, You will taste nice rich sweet-bitter chocolate flavour that combine well with their vanilla ice cream. I think this is the best chocolate lava cake so far, because I think it is not too sweet for my taste. Since that day, I'm still craving it so much and I want come back continually to order it.

Signature Hot chocolate

The cafe specialty beverage is its signature hot chocolate and it comes in some option such as Classic hot chocolate (IDR 35K), American marshmallow (IDK 40K), and Crunchy Waffle Balls (IDK 40K). You can choose between milk or dark chocolate for your hot chocolate. For me, I prefer the dark chocolate, but for you whose really love sweet stuffs you can order the milk chocolate instead.

Their hot chocolate was really good and I think it would be a perfect companion especially in the cold weather. The hot chocolate had the nice-smooth and creamy texture which you could find in every good hot chocolate. Then, the sweetness was perfect for me (fyi I'm not very fond of sweet stuffs).

Ice chocolate IDR 35K

For you who doesn't like hot beverages, don't worry for they also offer you some cold beverage! I ordered the ice chocolate and it was also nice, but please noted when you order the drink, you must mix the chocolate syrup quickly before it's harden because of the cold temperature of the drink.

Ice granita IDR 25K

If you're not in the mood for something sweets you can choose the nice and refreshing ice granita. Granita is a semi-frozen dessert made of sugar, water and various flavorings. They offer three options of the Granita which are the Red Granita (Dragon Fruit & Lychee), the Yellow Granita (Passion Fruit & Mango) and the Green Granita (Lemon & Mint). I ordered the Yellow Granita because my favorite fruits is mango!

The Yellow Granita was so refreshing and had a strong flavor but it wasn't too sweet for me. I would recommend this drink to be consumed in a hot weather or after long day of exercise.

Overall, this cafe meets my expectation very well. They served nice and good quality chocolate-based foods and beverages when it's kinda hard to find especially in Tangerang region. I'm definitely seeing myself come back for more.

The score for this cafe is:

Crave factor 9/10

Satisfied Factor 10/10
Return for more - Definitely YES!

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

Soft Serve Ice cream

McDonald's Matcha Ice Cream

Unknown 06:15

For all of you who is a Matcha-fans, McDonald's just launched a new seasonal menu called "Cita Rasa Dari Negeri Jepang". In this seasonal menu, they offer you some sweets as Matcha Top (IDR 7K), Matcha Ogura McFlurry (IDR 13K), and Matcha Oreo Mcflurry (IDR 13K). So, when I knew about it, I was like "Damn, I must try it soon!" and so I did.

After the I heard the news, I rushed to McDonald's after my shift at the hospital had over. When I arrived at McDonald's, I went to the cashier immediately with all of the exitement inside of me and told her that I wanted to order the "Matcha Top" and she was a little bit in shocked when I talked to her, I thought that maybe she has never seen such exitement in other people before me. LOL.

The ice cream base is actually the vanilla ice-cream and it's coated with generous layer of matcha. I also think that the coating contains the element of white chocolate because I could feel the sweetness of the white chocolate while eating the ice cream. You will get the nice and soft texture of the creamy ice cream and enjoying its sweetness inside your mouth with only paying for 7K. Such a big deal, right?

Overall, I think that matcha top is the best modified soft served ice cream that McDonald's has released so far.

Available at every McDonald's outlet.

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