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!

La Renaissance Patisserie


I've heard a lot of good reviews about this patisserie, so I decided to give it a try a while ago. I went to The Rocks area a while ago to have lunch with my friends. A few of my friends and I had arrived earlier in the area, and while waiting for others to come, we decided to stop by in this patisserie. I had a cup of soy flat white coffee, along with one of their famous cakes, called Goya. It's a Raspberry mousse  cake with passionfruit cremeux and almond nougatine, topped with fresh berries. In term of taste, it has a very refreshing and sweet combination between the berries and the almond, but it is too sour, according to my liking. The presentation of the cake is really nice, I love the color of this small piece of cake, topped with fresh berries and macaroon shells on the sides of the cakes. Overall, I really like the atmosphere of the cafe and the cake was okay. The coffee is really nice, though. I'd loved to try more of their cakes, cause there are still a lot of options to choose from. So, I'll definitely stop by again another time! Don't forget to also stop by in this patisserie and try some of their products. Not only cakes and coffee, they also have macaroons, bakery and tarts. So, stop by if you have time.

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!

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!

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!
