TWG Tea Salon & Boutique, Jakarta : Have a cup of tea will you?

Well to be honest i'm not a tea person. but i appreciate almost every caffeine beverages. so on Sunday evening i let my self sink into one of the best tea room (well that's what they said) in plaza Senayan, in South Jakarta.

TWG Tea Salon & Boutique is the most happening tea room in Jakarta right now, a little hype place won't hurt me that bad right? I wonder why everyone is talking about this place. is it that good? or just another hype dining place that have ordinary taste.

Now i have all the answers.

I was ordered Royal Tea Set that evening. it was a fancy tea set i've ever experienced. this was the menu :

1. Prawn with Silver Moon Tea infused cream

2. Smoked Salmon with Mascarpone and Chives

3. Roma Tomato and Morrocan Mint Tea infused sauce

I picked Scones and Sandwich for our evening tea ceremony. and also the Creme Brulee Tea for sure.

My first slurp was amazing, i can even say a word. smells like the real Creme Brulee but not too sweet. perfect slurp.

For the Royal Tea Set, not too bad i guess. but the Scone was prolly the best one ever. very chewy and tasty at the same time. the sandwiches was plain and dry. nothing's very special about this dish.

My several friends told me that their Macarons are the best one in town, so i gave it a try. i picked the salt caramel and the pink one i'm not sure what it's name. but my vote goes to the pink macaron!

I don't know why, it turns to be orange

Overall, i have to admit, this fancy hype tea room really amused me with their services, their lists of any kind of tea, and their macaroons! yum yum.

It's only a tea pot

Es Kopi Tak Kie : Kopi Lawas Rasa Beringas

Have i told you before i'm a coffee maniac? Ah right, you have prolly read my blog's name. by the way this is just a short review about old school coffee shop called "Es Kopi Tak Kie". 

Kedai kopi yang satu ini sudah berdiri sejak tahun 1927, imagine that! way before my mom was born. udah pasti tetap di cintai sama penggemar kopi karena konsistensinya terhadap biji kopi pilihan dan rasa nya yang tetap nikmat. Saya mengunjungi kedai kopi ini pada pagi hari di hari Minggu yang cukup cerah. pencarian kedai kopi ini cukup rumit karena saya sama sekali tidak familiar dengan jalan di sekitar Glodok, pecinan Jakarta. Setelah bertanya kanan-kiri akhirnya sampailah kami di Gang Gloria. Nampak di dalam gang itu sendiri sudah ramai beberapa orang yang sedang asik menyantap bakmi maupun makanan non-halal lainnya seperti Sekba dan nasi campur daging babi. dari masuk Gang Gloria tersebut tak jauh di sebelah kanan anda akan menemukan kedai tua dengan tulisan "Tak kie".

Dengan harga Rp. 12.000 saja anda sudah dapat menikmati segelas Es Kopi Susu yang sangat delicate dan memang terbukti rasanya yang khas menunjukkan konsistensi dari si pemilik kedai kopi ini. Untuk pecinta kopi hitam pekat, disini juga ada dan bisa di tambahin es batu juga. bukan hanya kopi saja, anda juga dapat memesan makanan yang beragam. saat itu makanan yang saya dan partner pesan adalah Bakmi Ayam (Rp 15.000) dan Nasi Campur (Rp 35.000)

Not hainan rice, just Nasi Campur.

This alley seriously have some dangerous food stalls. kalau berlama-lama disana bisa-bisa kolestrol langsung naik. make sure you wear comfy outfits, karena belum tentu anda seberuntung saya dalam menemukan kedia kopi yang satu ini. ah, don't forget to stop by di tukang jualan cd bajakan sebelum gang gloria. dia hanya menjual lagu-lagu jaman dulu seperti kawanan nya Bee Gees, The Beatles, Queen dan penyanyi lawas lainnya. i bought some groovy music there! Here's a pic of my last slurp.
