Signature Hot Chocolate 60k

Hot milk with Nutty ganache

This is very unique. They give you the hot milk, separate from the nutty ganache. Then, you have to dowse the ganache into the milk until it melts. Then, you drink it. It was so delicious. The best thing about hot chocolate, it's warming and very comforting, like a big hug in a big mug. It was perfectly thick and creamy. Love every single sip. No wonder it said "Signature"! :D

Classic Belgium waffle 65k

Red fruit compote and vanilla whip cream.

Waffle is one of the classic American breakfast. It's so classic that everyone likes it. But actually, some people made the waffle crunchy, and some people made it so soft. I like it in between. Not too crunchy, and not too soft. The strawberry was sour, as usual, hahahaha.. The vanilla whip cream made it more sweet. So, it's like sweet and sour waffle :D

Smoked salmon club sandwich 110k

White or wheat loaf bread, triple decker with Norwegian smoked salmon lettuce, tomato, cucumber and dill-caper mayonnaise, chips.

This was new for me. Usually, club sandwich is using beef or turkey or pork. But, tell you the truth, this delicious smoked salmon was hard to resist. The smoky flavour was not too strong. But when you eat the sandwich, instantly you could taste it. Anyway, I always love club sandwich. Remind me of my childhood. Sandwich was a luxury that time. :)

A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a sandwich with toasted bread.` It is often cut into quarters and held together by hors d'œuvre sticks. It frequently has two layers which are separated by an additional slice of bread.

The classic ingredients for a club sandwich are turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Other common club sandwiches generally vary the bottom layer, for example a "chicken club" or a "roast beef club" or a "breakfast club". Variations might include ham (instead of, or in addition to bacon) and/or additional cheese slices. As with a BLT, the club sandwich is usually served on toasted bread. Mayonnaise and mustard and sometimes honey mustard are common condiments. The sandwich is commonly served with a side portion of either coleslaw, or potato salad, and often accompanied by a pickle. The coleslaw or potato salad is often reduced to a "garnish" portion, when the primary side item is an order of French fries or potato chips.

INDONESIAN TRADITIONAL DESSERTS

I love how they set the traditional desserts in one place. The colour was appetizing. Surprisingly, the taste was very enjoyable. But unfortunately, fighting over food was not allowed. Hahahaha..

While having a great conversation, I noticed that a lovely lady was doing the cooking. So, I approached her. Turns out, she's the one who makes all the Indonesian traditional desserts. Love all the food that she made that day.
