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?

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.
