Hello Kitty Cafe Jakarta

Yay, the wait is over!
Official Hello Kitty Cafe already open in Jakarta, Indonesia. Me and Ricky pay a visit at their first week and it's super crowded. I sat for almost an hour in waiting room.

The saddest part, the food that I crave for so long were out of stock.
But, we keep it up by trying another menu!

Their menu is made from Wooden Pink Window, too cute! I finally decided to purchase Lemon tea (25.000 IDR / 1.37 USD), Iced tea (18.000 IDR / 1.9 USD), and Kitty's Magic Box - it was Honey Brick Toast in general - (88.000 IDR / 6.72 USD).

I love the taste, it's worth to que! This cafe isn't as fancy as Hello Kitty Gourmet in KL and isn't as big as Hello Kitty House in Bangkok (I will write about my visit at those places very soon) but this one felt so homey! You will love this tiny lovely corner.

I only sat there for 1 hour because I'm feel sorry to people in waiting room. Before going home, i took mandatory ootd pose at Hello Kitty Cafe Jakarta. For all Hello Kitty Lover in Jakarta, see you there!

Bistronomy

I just can't get enough with tea!

Last month me and Ricky decided to have afternoon tea at Bistronomy. This bistro was my favorite since the end of 2013. I'm totally adore the mixed ambiance between bistro and gastronomy. 

When we were arrived Bistronomy, we felt going back to Louis XVI's era. I gave 5 stars for Bistronomy's interior. 

The furniture and architecture were astonish. How about their afternoon tea?  

They had 2 type of afternoon tea. We picked the light one, it's only 242.000 IDR / 18.25 USD  for two people (include tax and services). 

And these are my afternoon tea package details:

• Tartlet Full of Edamame (edamame nut's, creme cheese, chocolate garnish, orange confit)
• Mini Sponge Cake "Coffgreen" (butter cream, chocolate garnish, fresh strawberry)
• Vanila Cookies (cookies, strawberry coulis)
• Mini Bread (spicy chicken teriyaki, mix tomato, cream cheese)
• Herbs Potato (mashed potato & bolognese)
• Cheese Potato Puffs (mashed potato, egg, cream, cheddar cheese)
• Herbs Foccacia Finger (foccacia bread, herbs, and paprika powder)

For the drink, we can choose two of coffee or two of tea flavors: earl grey tea, green tea & mint, green tea & lemon, jasmine green tea, pure peppermint, pure chamomile, passion fruit mango, mango & orange, lemon & ginger, peach tea and blackcurrant tea. 

As usually, i definitely go with English breakfast tea.

We finished all cakes and savory at 6 pm. We did great time there!

For the taste: it's kinda so-so, i don't like it nor hate it. Overall, this package is cheap and cheerful! 
But, the furniture were photogenic and it's obviously recommended for taking photos. Some people rented Bistronomy as wedding venue!

FYI, you had to use valet service for only 25.000 IDR (1.89 USD) / visit.  So, let's have le parisian day at Bistronomy!

Belle et Petite

Actually, I don't have any plan to visit Belle et Petite last Saturday. I just went to Pacific Place Mall with my sisters and accidentally I spoke to myself that i should give a try.

Well, Belle et Petite is located near escalators, it's quite disturbing for me . But still, it's a pretty little dessert parlor.

I just realized that Belle et Petite is a very well-known in Instagram. Macaroons are their specialties. They have different price policy - if you are purchasing online you will get 12.000 IDR  (0.87 USD) / each and if you buy it in offline store, you should pay 15.000 IDR (1.2 USD)  / each.

I picked four macaroons and one cake that stole my attention:

• Gold macaroon that made from Baileys
• Red and Choco macaroon with Black-forest taste
• Green macaroon with Milo Taste
• Mint "Blueberry" macaroon
• Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet and Milo are my ultimate love, the rest of it just because of their cute colors. As usually, i picked English Breakfast tea to accompany my tea time.

I was in love with the macaroons and i wouldn't hesitate to re-purchase again. The price is reasonable, one cake only cost 35.000 IDR / 2.5 USD - each. Surprisingly, free flow tea only 30.000 IDR / 2.15 USD.

I do recommend Belle et Petite for macaroon and cakes lovers, cheap price with good quality. Therefore, their little corner definitely a photogenic corner. 

What do you think?

Kitty's Corner PIK

I've been visiting this cafe regularly eversince two years a go but i always forgot to write about Kitty's Corner.
This cafe is full of Hello Kitty - even it's not licence cafe from Sanrio.

As you can see, the entrance is very playful and eye catching. Let's go inside!

The cafe is located in 2nd floor, We will walk trough their Wall of Fame. Then, when you were arrived in cafe, you will start to say "Cuteness overload! or "It's too pink" or as simply as "Wow"

The cafe architecture and decor is rated 3/5 for me. As red ribbon Hello Kitty fan, this one is too pink for me.  

One of their best seller drink is Fruit Punch (23.000 IDR / 1.65 USD). Honestly, I don't like it. The only reason why i choose this one because of Hello Kitty's jelly inside.

For our breakfast, I ate Hello Kitty Waffle with Vanilla Ice Cream (39.000 IDR / 2.79 USD). Thalita got her Hello Kitty Chocolate Peanut Toast (24.000 IDR / 1.72 USD) and Vanny enjoyed her Hello Kitty Choco Cheese Bread (22.000 IDR / 1.57 USD).
For the taste, it's could be state as so-so. It's not delicious but it's not terrible. Well, at least they have cute presentation and totally win my heart. How about the price? I think it's still affordable and the price already bundling with taxes.

After we finished our meals. We decided to find lunch in PIK's area. We just felt recharged after having breakfast in Kitty's Corner. It's a good mood food for us.

Before we were leave, we decided to sight-seeing in 1st floor. This floor is dedicated as Hello Kitty Store by Cafe owner. Sadly not all the stuff were original products.

I do recommend Kitty's Corner for girls or dating couple. For Hello Kitty fan, its should be puuur-fect place!

Christmas High Tea Set

Last week, i went to Peacock Lounge with Ricky (like always) and Vanny. 

When we were seated, I already knew it's gonna be happy afternoon tea time. Sleek yet elegant ambiance welcomed us.

We already planned to try their famous High Tea Sets (Two options set available around IDR 325k++ and IDR 388k++)

Luckily, in December they created limited edition set. It's called Christmas High Tea Set. 

This set costs IDR 488.000++ which consists of a 3 level cupboard filled with cake, another square plates of pastries and 2 glasses of sparkling wine. But, we decided to change the wine with tea. Quite stupid choice, though...

I eat a lot and most of it. The cupboard arrangement is quite impressive. I love the Christmas ornaments on the top of it.

Overall, i definitely will come back here to try their regular sets. For me, High Tea set in Peacock Lounge is totally worth the price. For anyone who love to spend their afternoon by talking with their loved one and eat a lot - literally a lot, this place is beyond perfect.
