Pizza E Birra

I visited this shop during my holiday in Indonesia, specifically in a city called Bandung. This city is not the capital city of the country, but it is nearby the capital. This small city has a really friendly environment and people. There's one of the most famous mall in that city, where all teenagers usually hangout at, called Paris Van Java. Then I decided to try one of their signature dessert, Vanilla Pannacotta. The texture is so creamy and for I think it is one of the best pannacotta I've ever tried in my life. So if you are craving for pannacotta, this is a must! 

That's it for now. Thanks for visiting our blog!

Don't forget to keep yourself updated with the upcoming posts!

and talk to you guys next time! Cheers!

Passion flowers !

Eating ice cream in a cold weather is not a really good option, however, passion flower is an exemption for this !

Located inside capitol square, george st. Passion flower is really nice place to have dessert and chill out with your friends. They offer plenty and various type of ice cream flavours. During my visit, there are 2 flavours that catch my attention and it is coconut flavours and cookies and cream flavours.

Its really nice the flavours and the place. We spend more than 2 hours there to have a chit chat and more ice cream of course. After finish with the first round, i feel tempted to try their waffle and premium ice cream.



They have 3 category of flavours, Western, Eastern and Premium. For this one im going to try for the premium flavours, while cookies and cream is western flavours and eastern is the eastern flavours. I order black sesame ice cream with waffle and Maple syrup and it was really FANTASTIC !

i recommend all of you to try this place to have a really nice dessert !

Luxbite

Luxbite is a French Patisserie that has a retail shop in Melbourne. It's famous with the macarons and unique looking cakes. I visited the shop a while ago to try out some of their signature cakes and macaroon.

I decided to order one of their signature cakes, which is called the Meringue Monster. This cakes has layers of green tea sponge, pistachio, watermelon, yoghurt, sour strawberry mousse, and meringue. It is also claimed to be a gluten free cake. I took my first bite into it and all the flavour just explode in my mouth. The sourness of the yogurt and the strawberry mousse balance out the sweetness from the green tea sponge and the meringue perfectly. This is a type of cake that you might want to have more than one. The sour background leave a very refreshing taste in the mouth, so don't forget to grab one of this when you visit the shop!

The second cake that I decided to purchase is their Chocolate, Mandarin and Salted Caramel Cake. My addiction toward salted caramel makes me choose this cake. You can't never go wrong with chocolate and orange, but I've never thought of combining those two flavours with salted caramel. Anyway, the cake contains an aerated chocolate shortbread, orange and lemon marmalade, mandarin cream, Murray River salted caramel cream and dark chocolate mousse, glazed with a shiny chocolate mirror glaze and topped with a freeze dried mandarin segment. When I had my first bite, I was not really impressed. The  mandarin cream left a bitter taste, which is not pleasant at all. However, when I kept digging in, I could not stop myself from adoring this little piece of cake. The combination of all three flavours works! I love the salted caramel cream and I love everything about this cake, except the mandarin cream. I highly recommend this cake to everyone!

After satisfying myself with the two cakes earlier, I decided to try one of their macaroons, which is the Peanut Butter and Jelly Macaroon. To be honest, I couldn't taste the jelly at all, the peanut butter is too overpowering. All I can taste is just peanut butter, in a form of a macaroon. This is by far, my least favourite out of the three dishes I purchased in this shop.

Overall, I highly recommend this shop to anyone who loves desserts! The layout of the shop is also nice, sadly I forgot to take picture of the shop itself, so I apologize for that. 

Anyhow, that's it for now, thanks for visiting our blog,

and see you guys next time! Cheers!

The restaurant is located in 2/17 Hickson road, Dawes Point .The place is really quiet and also quite private, it's really suit you guys who wants to relax and enjoy nice wine and also nice Indonesian food. Its also not hard to get there, If you are using your own car, theres plenty of park space there, but if you are using public transport, stop at Cirqular Quay if you are using train and walk around 10 mins to the place or take the 433/431 bus

I went there with my friend, and when i see the menu, there's one food that catch my attention and it is Ikan bakar dabu dabu, a john dory with Indonesian famous grill style..

The taste is really marvelous.. The tenderness of the meat and nice spices fill the mouth with joy and happiness...

GIAPO

 

GIAPO BUONO!!

 

 

Now if you're really into your sugar, this my friend is the place to be if you're ever in Auckland. Last summer I went to New Zealand and when we were in the city of Auckland we found Giapo on Urbanspoon as #1 top rated, so we decided to give it a go. We arrived pretty late at the scene but that didn't stop anyone for some late night dessert. The service was really impressive as you could test try each flavours before purchasing the one you wanted. Even though the line was queuing up the worker was really patient throughout your taste trying experience and trust me, I tried nearly all the flavours before choosing. I'm only there once right?

 

My final choice was the best selling Buona Giapo. This masterpiece contained hazelnut biscuit with a salted caramel base containing caramel praline bits, swirled with caramel, covered in biscuit crumbs and topped with toasted meringue and gold dusted hazelnuts. Sound pretty impressive? Honestly, I could of taken out the meringue...it was too over powering with sugar. But once that part was gone, it was heavenly. It had texture, sweetness and presentation wise, it was on point. Oh, and just when you reach the cone, you'll find out it has a chocolate coat as well. So for all you sweet tooth foodies, this place is a must!

Pattison's Patisserie

Pattison's Patisserie has several shops that operate all across Sydney, Australia. The classic, yet modern layout of the cafe creates a nice impression for customers. I visited one of their cafes a while ago while I was in Mona Vale area. There are a wide range of cakes, macaroons and bread to choose from. I decided to grab one of their tart collections, the Strawberry Apple and Rhubarb Crumble, along with a cup of soy flat white. 

The cafe has a comfy and relaxing atmosphere that is really nice to socialize at. While enjoying the view, I tried the tart which I purchased. Overall, the tart taste good. The combination of strawberry, apple and rhubarb makes the tart taste a bit sour, but the sweetness from the crumbles balance it out. What is quite disappointing is the soggy tart shell. I expected it to be firmer so I can bite into it, but I think it has been left out in the fridge or display too long, which makes it a little bit soggy. The coffee is really nice, though. It's a really nice cafe, after all. I recommend those of you who are looking for a nice place to chill or hangout. I will definitely stop by to try their other cakes next time!

So, visit this shop with your friends if you're in the area!

That's it for now, thanks for visiting our blog,

and see you guys next time! Cheers!

AQUA S

SEA SALT AND TOFU ICE CREAM?

Located in the heart of Sydney's CBD Aqua S a new unique soft serve place has opened that has been raved at by all Sydney food bloggers these few months. So I decided to give it a go with their interesting tofu flavour and their famous sea salt ice-cream. Better late than never right?

 

I'm not a huge fan with the whole fairly floss thing around it so I decided to keep in nice and simple in a cup. To my surprising taste being a non-fan of tofu in general I actually really enjoyed it. It reminded me of the soy milk drink in Asian supermarkets I used to have as a kid. The texture was very creamy and the flavour was not over-powering at all. The Sea Salt flavour was a bit different for my tastebuds, it was interesting nevertheless, not too salty at all! It's quite an addictive flavour though, once you start you can't stop. I would probably go again since they do change the flavours every fortnight and it's price friendly.

Brendan Dewar Patisserie

This French Patisserie shop is located in shop 119, St. Ives Shopping Village/166 Mona Vale Road, St. Ives Shopping Village, St. Ives NSW 2075. I visited this shop a week ago and tried some of their cakes. 

This pretty little cake called Mango Dome grabbed my attention right after I saw it. It's a mango mousse  cake with passionfruit insert in it. What even makes it better is the biscuit base underneath it, which I think they called "Breton" in French. It has a sweet, yet refreshing taste that makes me want to eat more of it. You should try one of this when you visit this shop!

The next cake that I purchased in this shop is their Juju cake. It's a rose-flavored mousse cake with lychee jelly inside it and there's also a crunchy hazelnut base with chocolate sponge on the bottom, which I think is the best part of this cake. It's a very elegant-looking cake, don't you think?

The last cake that I bought is their Tiramisu. Their version of tiramisu is non-alcoholic, so it can be consumed by everyone. There are layers of coffee-flavored sponge fingers, tiramisu cream and cocoa powder. What surprises me is a layer of coffee jelly at the bottom, which cuts down the sweetness of the whole cake. For me, it was one of the best tiramisu I've had. 

That's it for now, thanks for visiting our blog! CHEERS!
