ERIC KAYSER INDONESIA

And yet! Another French bakery in Jakarta?? Yeap! It's Eric Kayser everybody~ It's what all of us has been waiting for and it finally opened on early April and located on the 3rd floor of Plaza Senayan. The place was crowded when we went there and even when it has only just opened! I mean even the congratulation bouquets were still there, INCREDIBLE!

Well, looking at the desserts, I now understand why this place was sooo anticipated by everyone. Just look at THESE! Ain't it just gorgeous and yummy looking?

Yes, you can dine in here. BUT there's one down side though, the freakin' tables! Okay, I'm gonna share my embarrassing moment so that you won't have to go through the same thing? The end of the tables are a bit crooked downwards and the results? I dropped my cutleries. And my clumsy self just can't get satisfied with just once, I had to drop it like 3 times or more! It can't get any worse than this... But luckily, the agile waiters are really kind and patient, they immediately gave me new ones each time. Sorry for the trouble though :'(

If you ordered the baked goods, they will microwaved it for you so you can enjoy them while it's still warm. Yum~ They don't only offer pastries and breads but also main courses!

These are complimentary for any hot beverage you order and you'll even get one of each! (the yellow, green, and chocolate ones)

The specials here is the Eclairs and I have to admit, they do look amazing, so I had to try it!

PISTACHIO ECLAIR IDR 40K
From all of the pastries here, this particular one really catches my eyes with it's dazzling color. Inside of this eclair is a also a green pastel colored pistachio cream, which by the way is very delicious and rich. The eclair is really moist and had nice texture, the pistachio icing on top is not hard or crisp but sticky and has a beautiful pistachio aroma.

CHOCOLATE ECLAIR IDR 40K
Although the Pistachio Eclair was gorgeous and everything, I still personally like the chocolate one better. It might look simple but don't judge the book by it's cover, cause this one packs a punch! I'd recommend this one!

ALMOND CROISSANT IDR 28K
This is simply the best almond croissant I'd ever tasted! It's like a burst of heaven with just one bite. The texture, the flavor, the sweetness, all of them are just  plain perfect! You should not miss this one, I'm serious, you'll regret it.

RASPBERRY TART IDR 60K
This little one is the ultimate! Even my friend who doesn't like pastries liked it. The tangy raspberry and sweet tart really balances each other nicely. You might think that it's a bit pricey for just a tart, but it seriously worth every penny.

CROISSANT BURGER IDR 98K + BEEF BACON & EGG IDR 35K
For the main course, I chose this HUGE burger. I think it's even enough for 2 people. Well, unless either you're a monster or unbelievably hungry. The buns are made of croissant so it's more airy and not too thick. The fillings are full of not just vegetables but also meat, so it's not like those guilty vege-burger with just a chunk of meat and a bunch of vegetables. I'm definitely satisfied with this gold mine!

Anyways, I just have to show you this simple and cute take away box. Try giving it to your dear ones and observe the faces they make when they discover the treasure inside it!

It might seem that the price is not wallet-friendly but that's equal to the quality you'll get. I know I won't mind it. The staffs are so friendly too, that surely makes my experience here in Eric Kayser much better than it already is. I'll be back to this heaven as soon as I possibly can!

FLOUR FLOUR - Bread & Pastries

After visiting MAD, I went pass a Japanese bakery that immediately catches my attention. It's called Flour Flour by Kenji Kawasaki, which is by the way, an amazing pastry chef. You can find this at Lotte Shopping Avenue, it's right next to or more like a merge with Sesto Senso by the famous Hide Yamamoto, first Chief Executive Chef of Mandarin Oriental Tokyo.

It's more likely a take-away, but if you do want to dine in, you'll be seated at Sesto Senso. Heard that Sesto Senso offers some delicious dishes, too bad I was already too full from my feast at MAD, so I decided to just grab some desserts. 

This place is just so elegant and neat. A bit too business-y though perfect to have lunch with some co-workers or a simple meeting.

If the pastries are involved with Japan, it's bound to be cute and sweet and it's exactly how I predicted.

KU MACARON RHUM RAISIN IDR 28K

Isn't this just the cutest Macaron that you've ever seen? Too bad the left ear fell off :( 

But I guess it's not a big problem cause it still tastes amazing! It's not super sweet like some Macaron I've tried and the rhum is so strong, the texture was simply beautiful. Cute and yummy!

MONT BLANC IDR 35K
This is the first time I've ever tried a Mont Blanc and I love it! This is probably my favorite out of all. The cream is simply delicious and the way they pipped the cream is incredibly neat, THAT is quality!

CHOCOLATE CAKE IDR 38K

I fell in love with it at first sight! It's so elegant and the taste doesn't disappoint as well. If you're looking for something classic, this chocolate cake is just right for you.

ICE CHOCOLATE IDR 35K & ICE CEYLON TEA IDR 33K
The chocolate is so rich and I do think that the ice tea was a bit too pricey since the difference is not much from the chocolate.

Next time, I'll definitely go back here to try some of Sesto Senso's famous dishes! Great food and great service with amazing ambiance, who can ever resist that?

PASSIONNEE BAKERY AND PASTRY

Bonjour!

Yes, today is about a French-y bakery at Kebayoran Baru. It's called Passionnée Bread & Pastry and opened in March 8th 2014. I had a bit of a hard time finding the place cause it's literally located between a residential. It's easily mistaken for another house if it weren't for the sign, which is very small by the way, so you really have to pay attention.

Well, anyways~ This beautiful bakery is a very simple traditional french bakery, it's not like the fancy kind of bakery, but just your everyday homemade neighboring bakery. It's like in the movies and the character that lives in the country just went to buy a Baguette, this is the kind of place you would picture them coming to.

This place is really like a home sweet home in a countryside. It's really homey and cozy and just makes you want to keep coming back.

CANELE IDR 18K

I'm a sucker for caneles and this one here is worth the try. It's so soft on the inside and the caramelized crust is really good. It might be small but it's deadly good! 

TARTE AUX POMMES IDR 40K
If you don't know, Tarte aux Pommes is just fancy french word for apple tarts. The apple tarts here is the favorite one here and I can see why. It's really delicious, there are generous amount of apples and the cinnamon on top is just perfect. This is highly recommended to all apple lovers out there.

ECLAIR AU CHOCOLAT & CARAMEL IDR 14K
These look so yummy but unfortunately I did not order these cause I was really full though, but I might definitely try it the next time!

The place is full with plants and flowers, it really embraces nature, which is what we need more here in Jakarta. They don't really have many sits to dine-in because they have a bakery concept and is mostly for take away. The prices are not actually wallet-friendly but still okay. I like places like this, overall it's a fun and refreshing experience.
