VISIT INDONESIA: Bogor Short Culinary Trip

Hi there!  

 

This is the continuation of my last post (Bogor Short Adventure Trip). You may read it here. There are few places we visited and I'll give you out the information about the places below. Enjoy!

 

After the adventure we had at the waterfall, we were hungry. So, we changed our cloths and dry ourselves then we hunt for food! We make the decision to have Bogor culinary trip. Bogor is also known for the food paradise. (yay!)

 

This is Ngo Hiang. But the picture was not mine. Credit to Google images.

The first stop we visited is Ngoh Hiang Khas Bogor Asli Gang Aut. What kind of food is that? Well, it is basically a Chinese food. Ngoh hiang is a pork sausage that covered by silky tofu, potatoes served with some sauce. Ngo hiang itself means 5 sauces. The sauce is very special. It's kinda brownish-yellowish pumpkin color. It is hard to explain this food, but this food is one of the must-try food when you come to Bogor. Especially if you like pork. But, don't worry they also have the chicken one, and they serve many variants of food rather than this ngo hiang. I don't really like pork, well, actually I don't really eat pork. But, this food taste okay, but I won't finished one portion by myself. Because I don't really liked it. But, my friends did like it very much. So, just give it a try if you come to Bogor.

Then after that, we went to Kedai Kita, the most famous pizza place in Bogor. It is also the must try restaurant! We went here to try their pizza (plus I'm not full yet after trying that ngo hiang. lol). The specialty of Kedai Kita is the wood-fired pizza and hot-plate noodles. I've been here before and I tried the pizza. It taste really good! At that time, I saw the hot-plate noodles looks delicious! I said to my friend that we should try the hot-plate noodles next time. And, so we did this time. We ordered Beef Peperoni Pizza and Black pepper hot-plate noodles. All of it taste reallllyyyy awesome! Even though the black pepper noodles were very peppery, but taste good! Oh! For your info, do not come to this place at lunch and dinner time. You might not get a table and you have to be in the waiting list. And for your reference, Kedai Kita have 3 branches, 2 in Bogor and 1 in Sentul. I'll put the information down below. :D

The Front Face of Momo Milk Barn

We were having a big feast at Kedai Kita, but we cannot resist to try the famous milk cafe (?), Momomilk. There were few places in Tangerang that sell this kind of beverage. But, what makes Momomilk special is they have a cute glass with nutella, kitkat logo on it. The beverages taste so-so, but the place were so nice! It feels like in a barn. The place is quite big and it is a good place to take a photo. LOL. It is one of the most important factor if you want your F&B business run well, photogenic place. HAHA. We tried few milks such as, Ovomaltie milk, Banana Milk, Banana Blended Milkshake, and Oreo Milkshake. The price is almost the same with the one in Tangerang, but I guess Momomilk serve more. 

The bottle :3

Well, time flies so fast and it is our time to go back. We went back to Jakarta at around 6PM, and it was quite a traffic, but thankfully we can manage back to Tangerang not too late. That's all about my short trip to Sentul and Bogor. It is my only trip when I'm on my holiday. So saaadddddd.. :( I need more holiday though! Planning on a solo trip soon! Please pray for me to make it happen. HAHA. I'll post another short trip soon! Please wait for it!! Till then, see you soon! :D

with my fluffy friend, Velly.

Hangout Places in Jakarta: SumoBoo

Hello!

Finally, got the time and the place to introduced and reviewed. Since, it's holiday time, I got the chances to try some 'trendy' hangout places in Jakarta.
So, here it is my review about Sumoboo in Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), Jakarta. 

This place has opened since a few months ago, but I just got a chance to visit it now. Usually, they are full packed with people. They could make the guests to queue for 2 hours. Yeah, it's crazy, I know. That is the reason why I wanted to try this dessert shop. Is that really nice? Why its always full packed? Finally, I went there yesterday with my uncle, brother, and cousins to find out the answer. Oh! Actually, they opened 4 branches, but it also full packed with people. (btw, I make the review only for the PIK branch)

Sumoboo is a dessert shop located in Pantai Indah Kapuk or known as PIK, or Taman Anggrek Mall, or Kota Kasablanka Mall or Ruko Sunter. The concept of this dessert shop is Japanese style dessert shop. It can be seen from the name (Sumo, the Japanese wrestler, usually they are very big), the menu, and the interior. While, actually many dessert shops came from Taiwan. Well, I don't know which one it take the concept, but it was quite nice. 

For anyone living in Jakarta and often go to PIK, you might find this shop easily. The shop having a catchy exterior, which are logs of tree and yellow painting, and glasses. For people outside Jakarta or outside Indonesia, you could enter this address into your GPS:

Rukan Crown Gold Blok D No.17
Bukit Gold Mediterania – PIK (Pantai Indah Kapuk)
Jakarta Utara

Menus

They are famous with their shaved ice shaped in bear face and nutella bomb. So, we decided to bought that. In addition, we also ordered the tori popcorn. Here are the pictures of each dessert and food we ordered:

1. Boo! Kakigori

This is what makes Sumoboo famous and known widely! Kakigori means shaved ice. While, Boo is the name of the bear, I guess. Anw, this bear shaped shaved ice cost for IDR 30K. It was quite pricey, since the normal shaved ice with fruits and some stuffing cost around that price (read: Pat-bingsoo, Korean Shaved Ice). The inside of this shaved ice is ice, pudding, flavored syrup, and ice cream. Voila! It became this bear shaved ice! My little cousin, she is 8 years old, said to me: "It was easy ya to make this. Only shaved ice, shape it to make like a bear face, put an ice cream, and cut out strawberry to make ears, and use milo balls for the eyes and nose". Yes, Vianney it was easy, but we should appreciate that they have to make it for hundreds of people everyday. 

2. Nutella Bomb Kakigori

For this type of Kakigori, it has nutella filling mochi (rice cake) with Milo powder, and ice shaved. It was so simple, but I liked it! The richness of the chocolate taste, was great. But, it was so simple, that I might ask my maid to replicate it. My mom sells mochi, so it was easy to made the nutella bomb. Hehehe. 

3. Tori Popcorn

Tori Popcorn is type of snacks, made from chicken. It is a mini cutlet chicken. urgh, I don't know how to explain it, so here's the picture. Please interpret it by yourself. (sorry for the foodgasm vocabulary shortage!). Anw, this snack taste gooood! I likeedd it! The spices used are adequate, so the taste is not blunt, even we ordered the non-spicy one. We ordered 4 portions! 3 non-spicy and 1 spicy. The spicy one was crazily spicy!! I could not eat it, without drinking tons of water or the dessert. I'm not the type of person who is spicy-mania nor I can't eat spicy. I do eat spicy, especially in Korean Food, but other than that, I don't really eat it. 

Rate

I will gave this 3.5 stars out of 5. Why? Because, it was not that special. I don't get it why people queue for that period of time. And the price was quite over-price. But I do like, the plating and the atmosphere.

That's all the review of this dessert shop. 

Thanks for reading!

See you on the next post.

Hangout Place in Jakarta: Collete & Lola

Hi there! I'm back this time with a post about hangout place in Jakarta.
I believe there are a lot readers who live outside Jakarta. Even me. I live outside Jakarta.
So, I presented this post for all of you who want to spent your holiday in Jakarta. :D
Enjoy!

Recently, I went to Senayan City to watch Despicable Me 2 with my seniors. After we watch, we want to go to Senopati. Senopati is located near Senayan. It has a lot of Korean Restaurants, cafes, and a lot of hangout places. So, I said to my seniors how if we try to go to Collete & Lola. It's a new cakes shop in Senopati. I knew this place from my friends on instagram.

Arrived at Jalan Senopati Raya no. 64, we saw a bright writting of Collete & Lola. It was so eye-catching. We parked our car via valet service because it was too crowded. They only have a little space of parking. :( Then, we enter the cake shop. But, we have to wait. Inside was insanely full! I thought it because of the restaurant above the shop that have a lot of customers, so the parking was full. But, Collete & Lola had a lot of visitors! like... A LOT!!! 

While waiting, we got to take pictures. B-) After waiting like 10 minutes, we finally got to enter the shop. It was a joy for me to be able enter the shop. The shop is SUPER DUPER MEGA CUTE! I love cute stuffs, as u guys know. It has a colorful walls, cute stuffs, cute box, cute CAKES!! It was quite crowded, but it still an excitement for me.

We order a Panda Cake, they called it "Call Me Panda" cake. It is a chocolate cake with a biscuit on the bottom of the cake. And of course they have Panda face on it. It taste gooodd! :9 Well, I am a chocolate lover. :3 This is the cake I love. I wanna try out other chocolate cake of them, but it might make me too full (because, we still going to have dinner! :p). 

Also, we order another cake, but I don't know the name. It taste like a cheesecake, but it's not. :| and I don't really like this cake. It not sweet, so I don't like. It doesn't mean it was bad. We all have different favorite taste, right?

Beside cakes, we order teas! :D It cost 28.000 rupiah for one teapot of TWG tea. :D I ordered Carmel Creme Tea. It taste quite weird. But it still a perfect partner with my choco cake!

I also take away some macaroons! It cost 10.000 rupiah per piece. They have a promo to buy 5 get 1 free! :D I want to take away macaroons, because I want the box. But, they give me a paper bag instead. huhu. Quite disappointed. :(

Spend one or two hours there with taking photos and chit chat. The place is quite comfy for chatting. But it feel like we have to get up early from our seat because they still have a long waiting list guest. They should expand their shop. They only get one floor shop with not much space for people. They already used up their spaces for their display.

This bakery and cake shop is one of Ismaya Group's cafe. They usually sell a quite pricey desserts, but I think this shop sells a reasonable price. They served a good size of cake. So, people don't feel sick (enek). This shop has the best interior design of any bakery & cake shop in Jakarta! I don't feel like wanna go home. Hahaha.

So, readers, if you wanna come here, you may find it at Jalan Senopati Raya no. 64. (under Yeyo Restaurant, Across Hanyang Garden). Their food and drinks prices are about 10k above. ;) It's quite affordable, right?

My rating for this shop is 4 stars out of 5!

XOXO,
