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.

DIY: Peter Pan Collar Necklace

HELLO!   

Today, I made a new section on my blog, which is DIY section! I loveeeee making DIY things. Nowadays, I'm loving Peter Pan Collar Necklace. I'm inspired from MissGlamorazzi from YouTube (watch it here). I watched her video on YouTube doing this DIY. And it's simple, so I try to make one by myself.  So, enjoy!! :D

Things to be prepared:

- Velvet

- Glitter, beads, or anything to decorate your necklace

- Glue

- Scissors

- Ribbon

- Pattern

- old brush or glue sponge to spread the glue on the velvet  

(never thought to post it on my blog, so I didn't take a decent photos of the tools and equipment needed. sorry)

How to:

 

1. Trace out the pattern (find it here) on the velvet of your choice. I use a black velvet this time. If you will wear it, remember to match with the outfits you have. Personalize it to your like.

2. Cut it out.

3. The next step is the most fun one! It's the time to put your creativity on! You could decorate it to your like. My peter pan collar necklace is covered by gold glitters. First, I spread some glue on the velvet, then I spread the glitters. Wait till it dry, then I swept away the glitters that didn't stick to the velvet. If you want the same one like mine, I recommend you to spread a lot of glue and use a strong glue. It's kinda messy if you didn't use a very strong glue. When you wear it, you will have some glitters all over your neck and cloths. I add some beads or studs on the border of the necklace.

4. Wait till it dry. Then cut out a ribbon according your like. Measure it to your personal length. 

5. Glue your ribbon to the behind of the velvet.

VOILA! It's done!! It is easy right? If you make your own, don't forget to send me yours! :)

HAVE FUN!

BEAUTY REVIEW: It's Skin Peeling Gel

Hello!!

Finally, got the chance to post on this blog again! after around 6 months busy with uni life. *sigh* I got a full month of holiday. So, I will post blog as much as I can, since I have lots of things to share. 

So, first up! My review about It's Skin Peeling Gel. check it out! 

Everyone have dead skins. To get rid of it, most of us go for facial, masks, or just deep cleansing. Now, there is an easy way to get rid of it, since there is a product named peeling gel. The application is very easy, it doesn't take a long time, and it's inexpensive! You didn't need to go to the salon or take a long time in the bathroom. I've used this product for quite some time. The peeling gel I used is It's Skin "Mangowhite Peeling Gel". 

Product info:

Name: Mangowhite Peeling Gel

Brand: It's Skin

Origin: Korea

This product does an amazing job! The effect lasts for a week. It makes my skin smoother, clean, tight, and not oily. My skin type is acne-prone skin, so when I got my period my hormone produce those acne, and the way I minimized it was by using this peeling gel. I used this twice a month, since it is act like a scrub, so it is not good to use it on daily basis. The good news is peeling gel is not as harsh as facial scrub, but it does a good job. I would recommend to everyone this product. 

I bought this when I went to Korea, because my mom did buy another peeling gel from different brand and I kinda like it and want to have it for myself. So, I got to buy this peeling gel from It's Skin basically because at that time 2PM is the one who endorse it. So yeah.. Thankfully, they didn't fail me! 

I've bought another peeling gel from Faceshop and I can't wait to use it. I'll use it after this product finished. Keep tune on my blog, since I've got a lot of products to talk about! 

Thank you for reading!

P.S: Last summer, I went to Korea, which means a BIG HAUL coming up! :D

Summer Haul!

HELLO! It's summer here in Indonesia, but due to global warming, we have a lot of rain these days! Hufftt!:( andddddd I got NO HOLIDAY!!!!! :S Anyways, I wanted to share some new things I purchased this summer. My best friend helped me on buying these things from the USA. Thank you Angel! :D  

 

Loungefly x Hello Kitty Bag

got freebies! iPod touch case. :D

Wanted a new bag that can be used for everyday use. I followed Loungefly on instagram, then I saw this bag. I opened their website, and saw that this bag was on sale. How can I not buying it? :D The bag has two designs. One zebra design and the other one is checkered design. I picked the zebra one, because my mom said the zebra one is more youthful than the checkered one. Even though I like the checkered one. Since, she the one who will pay, I followed her. If you don't know about Loungefly brand, you could open their website: loungefly.com. Loungefly is an American brand that sells bags, wallets, and accesories. They usually teamed up with some characters for their products such as, Hello Kitty, Tweety, Tinkerbell, etc. First know this brand when my mom bought their Hello Kitty bag in HongKong. Their bags were good for everyday or formal purpose. I'm going to buy 2 more bags from Loungefly. :p

Sephora x Hello Kitty Eyes & Lip Pallete

I have bought the same pallete last year, but the eyeshadow was broken. :( So, I purchased again this time, and I bought two at once. Since it will be not available anymore. I bought the pink and purple ribbon. I don't know the series or the code. The pink ribbon one has basic colors of eye shadow, while I like the purple ribbon's lip pallete. They came in 4 different colors both for eye shadow and lip gloss.

    

Urban Decay NAKED 2 Eyeshadow Pallete
FINALLY! I bought the famous NAKED EYESHADOW PALLETE! Kind of regretting to purchase this pallete, since I did not use eyeshadow on daily basis. But, buying good makeup is an investment. Someday, I'll need it. Thinking to be a make-up artist specializing in natural makeup. ^^ No lie, but I was tempted by all beauty blogger on YouTube raving this product. So, here I am, having this product! Cannot wait to use this!! :D 

So, that's basically what I purchase this month! 

Thank you for reading.

See you on my other posts. 

Spoiler: I'm going to post a big news! Wait for it! :))
