Some sweet tooth..or teeth?

Clockwise: Bolu Meranti-Bolu Blueberry-Almond Cookie-Street Milk Pie/Eggtart

Sugracrave? I think so.. Lots of sweet tooth for me this weekend..Quite dangerous for my purpose to go on a little bit tiny tiny diet..:P
Do you know Bolu Meranti? Its a South Sumatra popular gifts. Almost everytime when friends or family went to Medan, they will brought this cake. This week my uncle brought this popular cake to us, the box is quite ordinary for design,like some traditional one, but the cake is big portion,about 30cm roll cake per box. The taste well just ordinary, luckily not too sweet, the texture is soft and the filling is in a lot of variant. Mine is blueberry jam. I dont know why it's so popular because the taste is really ordinary.
Almond Cookie: I got this from coworker birthday.. Ordinary!
Milk pie/egg tart? Cant decide..But it tasted good, only about 2k per piece, I bought it at Bridge :D

Make your own Marinara Sauce

I always love pasta! Mostly i used spagetti or fettuccine for the pasta.
And do you know what the most important of pasta? You answer a good sauce? That's right. If you have a good sauce, no extra topping needed like meat, chicken, or cheese. It's delicious enough.
Well tonight i've been on my first trial to make some sauce for my pasta. Why bothered you ask? Well, most of the pasta sauce sold in market are mixed with beef inside already, well i am as a 'beefegetarian' has to try harder to find a way to get a good pasta sauce. Well my recipes below even its my first trial it actually tasted so good, i even licked till my bowl's clean.:p
Here are my recipes:
Marinara Sauce

My Homemade Marinara Sauce

Ingredients (serving for 3-4 plates):
- 4 fresh tomatoes (pulverize in blender)
- half of onion, cut up
- 3 cloves of garlic, cut up
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- black pepper
- dried basil and oregano
- starch/sago, mixed with water
- 1 spoonful chili and tomato sauce
- 1 spoonful sugar
- dried/ minced fresh parsley
- minced chicken (optional)
- minced champignon mushroom (optional)


How to make it:
1. Stir-fry olive oil with onion and garlic, wait till shriveled. If wanna some flavour, add the chicken/mushroom after it.
2. After that mixed every other ingredients into it, and wait till boils. Then add starch/sago a little bit to condense the sauce. Remember to stir it fast when you add the starch/sago to prevent it coagulate in your sauce.
3. The sauce is yummy ready to be served with your pasta.

If you doesnt like the tomato flavour? All you have to do is add some parmesan cheese and a little bit fresh milk into it to make the sauce more creamy. This is what it looks like, Salty Marinara Sauce.

Tomato flavour is blend with cheese

Well to be practical, you can bottled the sauce and refrigerate it. Can stand up to 1 week for express eating when your tummy is calling for another pasta.

The Feast

Italian Homemade Ice Cream

Ragusa since 1932

Banana Split (where's the banana?)

 

narsisctic me

other streetstall foods, not from ragusa

This place is one of popular local homemade ice cream, located at Jl.Veteran 1 no.10,Jakarta, Ragusa has been there since 1932. It is said Traditional Italian Ice Cream, so we wanna tried it. Actually quite a long time i went here but i wanna let you know so this is it..
The place is near the Kota Tua/Fatahilah, and you can find this traditionnaly interior shop is crowded by guests. They said its no preservatives, well lets try. We ordered lots of ice cream like the pict above, i'm sorry i already forgot the name since it's been quite a long time.
But for review, i still remembering the taste. For 4 ice cream above, the texture is light, too easy melted, not too creamy, it's just refreshing. I cant said it's special, well it's homemade okay, so let's just accept it like some Pondan-made. Price is around 10-26k. They also give mineral water for free, jsut ordinary cold water i dont know how but it tastes so good, cool, pure, not like water i drink everyday. Like it..
My friend also ordered some traditional crackers with peanut sauce from the street outside Ragusa, about 10k, they said it's great but for me just ordinary.
If you ask will i come again to Ragusa,well i wont refuse but dont come here with high hope or you will be dissapointed :D

Dulang Resto

Indonesian food is rich of herbs and spices, i am lucky to be here and surrounded by them.
When i went to Puncak the other day, i and my friends were on jammed in traffice so we decided to fill out tummy with food first before going home.
We try Dulang Resto, never heard it before? So did I. But we just tried, also thanks to my credit card, we get 30% discount (min trans 150k).
This is the place, so naturally blended, Javanese theme with the mini pendopo and Javanese interior.

Pendopo

Riverside

There are 3 tables with umbrella side of the river, i want to sit there, but full of other guest, Everyone is also interested to sit there huh..
Then we ordered 4 menu, hot plate chicken kale, chili anchovies, tradiotional oncom, and special Dulang grilled chicken, but sorry for the chicken it's on the way to our tummy before i capture it.So this it what i have an opportunity to capture.

hot plate chicken kale

Chili Anchovies and Oncom

The taste of the menu is great, even the oncom, so hott (usually i didnt like it), but the special chicken (no pic) is rather ordinary. Along with 4 plates of rice and 4 traditional crackera, we spend only 125k (after discount). Worth it! :D

Who screams for ice creamm?

How do you feel about Ice cream? The cold sweet milky creamy thing? Who doesnt like it huh..
Me? I am completely in love with ice cream..
So many of ice cream shops in the city, but i just love Cold Stone..

From Disdus Voucher Package

Strawberry Ice Cream with Chocolate Waffle (50k +9k for addtional Waffle)

First one is the duo package from waht i bought from Disdus. a great deal for about 55k i got 2 this delicious ice cream.  I just love how the cookie crumble and strawberry ice cream are mixed, base of glass is berry sauce, topped with fresh strawberry, great sensation.  Then on the plate a crunchy waffle and 4 scoops ice cream: strawberry, choco, mocca and a mini glass of coffee. I dont know what the coffe used to, i just drink it,tasteless,,muahahahahah..maybe it's a mistake to just drink it.

Second image is 1 cup of strawberry ice cream, mixed with cookie crumble and nougat. Gotta love it portion means BIG and literally i just love it! Thanks to my friend Bochan who gave me the coupon 50k from MAP so i can enjoy this free (only pay for waffle)..:D

Revisited: Manhattan Fish Market

Almost all people love crunchy foods, so do I.
So this time i went to Manhattan Fish Market, i ever went to their outlets at Grand Indonesia and Central Park, i prefer Central Park because the place is much more comfortable.
I came here with my sister, We ordered pasta and chips, here they are.

Seafood Spagetti (35k)

Mixed Seafood and Chips (35k)

For the spagetti, there is no special sauce or something, it's just plain one, almost like aglio olio, only seasoned with dried chili and garlic, on top of its the topping is fried calamari and prawned. I have to add tomato and chili sauce plus a little bit mayo to make it more tasty.
Second plate is Mixed Seafood and Chips. Consist of fried calamari, prawn, dory, and french fries.It accompanied by some creamy white sauce, no herbs added id i may add because plain taste, need SOS from mayonaise too..

These menus is just ordinary, nothing special.. I still love their big platter for 2 with their flavoured garlic rice..:P

Sweet Hot Red Cassava

Have you ever tried the sweet cassava at Puncak?
It's one of my fav to buy whenever i go to Puncak. You can find it anywhere, especially at Puncak Pass.
So many small streetside stalls sell the cassava. They called it Ubi Bakar Madu or Ubi Bakar Cilembu. 1 kilogram of roasted cassava is around 15k, and the raw around 7-8k.

This is the appeareance of succesfully roasted cassava. Sticky and juicy, so soft whole part of it, that's why i think they call it Ubi Madu. Taste so great, you have to eat it while it's hot. If already cold, it harden. One is never enough..:D

Another Home Made Sushi

I'm just into cooking nowadays.. Almost everyday i try another creation for foods.
And another sushi, this time i make another chicken roll.
First i made the fillings:  omellette roll, sweet chicken saute (maybe you can try my teriyaki chicken recipe?), cheese, mayonaise.
Then this is how i roll it!

1.Flat the rice above nori, then sprinkle chopped parsley, black sesame seeds, and chili powder.

2. Flip it back, put the fillings in backside of nori.

3. Roll it tightly, press and squeeze it

4. Cut it into 6 single slices, ready to eat.

Cooking Time :Teriyaki Chiken

Another cooking time : Teriyaki Chicken!
I love the teriyaki chicken at Hoka-Hoka Bento, dunno how they make it but this time i tried,still not the same taste..

Homemad Teriyaki Chicken

Here the recipe:
- chicken fillet
- onion,sliced thick
- minced garlic
- soy sauce
- sweet soy sauce
- sesame seed
- japanese soy sauce
- apple vinegar
- salt and pepper
- flour 1 tbs

How to cook:
Little bit olive oil with onion, mixed for awhile and separate it, you want the onion to be still crunchy.
Then  sautee the garlic, chicken, all sauce,salt n pepper, and after the chicken is ready, pour the half-cook onion.. Sprinkle some sesame seed, it will be a good flavour, and last flout to thicken the sauce..
Tadaa teriyaki chicken is reasy! I think i have to fry the chicken first before to get the Hokben taste?
Dunno,later i will try to get the same taste..Aja aja fighting...:D

Red Velvet at Brussels Spring

Sunday and it's time for another desserttttt...
Considering i never tried the super popular and booming Red Velvet Cake, so i think it's time to try one of that super popular cake.
I try Red Velvet at Brussels Spring,  Central Park.
For the place is at Tribeca Park, cute and artistic place, i love the sofa! I picked outdoor area to refresh my mind with the fresh air..Yeaaa.. My friend ordered a drink, i forgot the name, some Fruit Mojito. She said it taste great, dunno i didnt try.
This is the appearance:

Mojito and Red Velvet Cake

The cake is 2 layers sponge with bit extract, a kind of red fruit, and 2 layers of cream cheese. A splinch of whip cream and cherry on top.
First trying, the cream is cheese salty, mixed with the sweet from the cake, not too sweet so didnt make you nauseated...It's just right composition.. But really what'so fuss about this cake? It taste good yes, but nothing so special about it. Just another light cake..

Ihave tried their waffle too and just ordinary too,
i dont know it's a wrong choice or the desserts here indeed are just ordinary.

Cooking time: Ginggy Chic

Time to another homemade. Ginggy Chic!
It is fried chicken but i add a lot of ginger to it to another sensation.

Here is the recipe:
- chicken breast, slice it dice.
- ginger smooth grated
- Japanese soy sauce
- oyster sauce
- oregano
- salt & pepper
 For additional :
- flour
- parsley for sprinkle

How to cook:
Fist you have to marinate the chicken breast with all ingredient besides flour and parsley. Keep in refrigerator fo a night. Then when you wanna cook, coat it with flour, not too much, you dont wanna make it too crunchy, deep fried till golden brown
Then served with sprinkle of chopped parsley for better look.
Eat while it hot! Ginger flavor is strong and love it with chili and tomato sauce.

The most popular TEI...

Who doesnt know SUSHI TEI?
It's teh most popular sushi resto at Jakarta. And why? Because the price and taste is a great comparison.
In almost every outlets, the line queue will await you. So many people wanna eat the best sushi in town too.
My friends reunite and decide to eat sushi tei.
FYI order ocha if you are here, it's free, refillable, and taste great.

Unagi Special Roll

Catterpillar Roll

Baked Salmon

Tuna Maki

Sunsets & Sunrise

The Unagi is something delicious. Big and thick unagi in topped of roll. Full of sweet sauce it's appetizing....
And for Catterpilar Roll, cute, the filling is prawn tempura,cucumber, crabstick, and with lots of tobiko - fish eggs -I love it- and topped of it avocado slice an some thin unagi. SO many people says it;s special but i think the caterpilar here is just ordinary.
And for Baked Salmon you will love it, so creamy and plenty of salmon. The filling is crunchy too. Great taste! Then my fav one Tuna Maki, its so tastym the tuna is generous given as you can see, i think they fry it for a while because a little bit crunchy, rolled, an sprinkle with perhaps parsley. I just love it.As for drinks, sunset and sunrise, i just like them, so refreshing, and i dont what seed is used but it had the unique texture. Try it when you visit Sushi Tei..

Good pasta at Palem Cafe

You know Palem Cafe? People said it's a huge popular back then but closed at 2004. Now they open again after 7years off. I know Palem Cafe when i enter the Sogo District at Central Park. It's under giant company MAP.
You know inside Sogo you can find Starbucks, Chatterbox, Nanny's Pavilion Terrace, and Palem Cafe.
Because i havent tried Palem Cafe, i try it this time
Interior is great,  feels like simple home or library i can say. Yellow light makes place much comfortable.
The food here is basically steak and pasta. I chose Vegetables Asian Pasta.

This is my meals. Served in big bowl,cute, there are vegetables tempura and fried tofu, mixed with brocoli and green bell. The aroma is great, and what i find heree: The cheese Powder..OMooo i havent eaten that anymore since Pizza Hut stopped their kindness of cheese powder, its expensivee and i cant find it anywhere for free. But here The Palem Cafe give it to meeeee as much as i want..
Sprinkle some to the pasta will add more creamy texture to the sauce. For my review on this menu, i love it! Creamy but there a slight asian style, and there is a big garlic bread too to accompany the aldente pasta.
The price around 35k (before tax) and i definely will come back to try others menu..I am sure they will taste great too.
Recommended!

Childhood memory at Bogor

Bogor Time! I was invited by my friends to join them to Bogor. She had emphasize that i have to try the Pork Noodles there, it;s her fav since her childhood. I'm sooorrry i forget the name of resto ><
When we get there at 10 am, we rather hesitated is the place open or not,because the door was closed. After we parked and walk in front of the door ,yes it's open. YEAYYY...
The place is quite okay for 12 years old resto, bright and clean.
We seat and the waiters give us menu, First question: Where is the Pork Noodles? Nonee.. My friend need to be *punched* grin* huahahaha.. At the end we pick Chicken Yamin Noodles. Yamin means the noodle will be mixed with sweet soy sauce, but if you dont like sweet you always can choose the plain one.
We also order Fried Pangsit & Pork Meat Ball.
This is our orders.

This is my review:
The Yamin Chicken Noodle, too sweett omoo..I have to add some salty sauce and chili sauce to neutralize the sweet.. Even i ate till empty bowl,but i almost stop at middle of eating because of the sweetness, dear chef you have to minimize the use of sweet soy sauce. Portion is big size, you better share with your friend.

The Pangsit, so so, no sauce too bad, i have to use sauce for the meatball. But they fry it perfectly.

The Pork Meatball, yes there is sauce fortunately. It deep fried, a little too crispy at skin, and not soft inside. Another dissapoinment? Yes i have to say..

So my friends need some improvement in her taste for noodles, In Jakarta there are so many grat noodles that you have to try like Bakmi Aloy at Grogol,  Tiongsim Noodle at Ravino PIK, Stall Noodle named Tenda Biru at Untar Side Street, and so many moree..
This one, nehh...:P

Chocolate Mud Cake at Secret Recipe

 

Mud Cake

I hunt for discount..that's for sure.. So when i went to dessert hunting that day, i pick the Cake of the Day at Secret Recipe. You get 20% dicount on selected cake, which will be different everyday.
I actuallyu loves their cakes, either cheesecake, banana, sponge, etc so i have high hopes for this one too.
After picking it, i have my table, about 5 minutes they served my cake. I try a liitle piece, the taste is great. So moist, reach of chocolate cream, and chocolate sauce topping above is so tasty, thick and you gotta love it. Inside cream is full of choclate powder, delicious and you just gotta dig dig dig and dig it till the plate is empty. Such a guilty pleasure...:p

Kamikaze

Promo Soft Opening Kamikaze : Paket nasi + chicken +ocha. (10k)
Reading that promo from my wall post at facebook, i decide to try Kamikaze at Central Park. The place is not as great as others Kamikaze outlets, it's just common like fastfood resto.
I order the package 11k with tax, i get i rice, 1 katana with kamikaze sauce, and ocha (hot/cold). Ocha here is uniques.the colour is so greem and taste strange, mot my fav if i can say.
After waiting 15 minutes, my meals served.

The katana is chicken deep fried,I dont know how but it's so crispy, the sauce is delicious, but the chicken inside has so much fat, didnt like it.. Overall its okay if you ask. Maybe if it's not promo the chicken will be better.
Next time i will try their popular tebasaki/chicken wings, wait for my next review..:D

Trial 1: Homemade Avocream Pesto Pasta

Cooking timee... Now i want to try making some pesto pasta.
Pesto is green sauce made of mixed herbs. Dont hope for some tasteful sauce because the characteristic is pesto is in its basil. If you have pine nuts, you can add some, but because to expensive i dont use it.
First i make the pesto sauce, ingredients will be:
- basil leaves
- avocado
- olive oil
- garlic
- cheese grate
-pine nuts (i didint use ut)
- parsley

I mixed them with blender, beacuse have no food proccessor. Quite a mess, hahaha.. But it blend quite good. When making the sauce, i boil my spagetti with water for about 10 minutes, add some salt to taste better.
When spagetti is aldente, dry it, and then mixed your pesto sauce with the spagetti.
 The avocream pesto pasta is readyy.. Easyy huh..Try it sometimes.

Stevan Meat Shop

I have heard about Stevan Meat Shop a lot from my friend. He said if you have a home party, you can order from Stevan and the chef will come to your house and cook it there, what a party huh!
But this time i and my friends went to try Stevan at Pantai Indah Kapuk.

The place is quite comfy, has outdoor area but because weather is hot so i pick a table at second floor. First floor is where the meats is presented at glassbox. You have to choose what meat you want, there are t-bone,tenderloin, wagyu, pork ribs (tempting but quite a price there), and as for me -person who dont consume beef- the option only chicken or gindara/salmon fish, so i picked the chicken breast. Then the staff ask my option of sauce so i prefer mushroom. You will be charged cooking fee, around 35k (before tax n service) and you get the sauce, potato (mashed,wedges,or herb sautee) and vegetables. After choosing then we go upstairs.This is the second floor.

In second floor, drinks and some main course like pasta will be offered to you. In weekdays and happy hour you will get 50% discount on the menu book. Not the meat if you hope.
This is the menu book,unique huh..

 After waiting for about 15-20 minutes, my order came. Looks quite tempting ,it's a big plate.. I choose the herb potato sautee, it tastes great, the vegetable is rather plain,the sauce i am dissapointed not special at all, my friend chose bulgogi sauce and it tastes great,hot and sour. Mine simply plain, and the chicken is also. Not juicy,quite dry, tasteless.. Not so special like people said about Stevan.. My other friends who choose lambs, t-bone, and wagyu tenderloin also feel the same way about their meals, nothing special. Joni Steak is better they said, me i cant sayu anything because i havent tried Joni Steak, someday maybe.
As for the price, we spend about 550k for 4 plate and 4 ice tea, it's pricey..
If you ask me will i come back? Well i dont think so. But if someone offers to treat here for free i wont refuse, maybe i can try the salmon/gindara steak next time..:P

Home made kimbab

Have you ever made sushi (Japanese) /kimbab(Korean) by yourself?
 It's easy you know..I'll let you know my way to make sushi. All you need is some :

- nori/ seaweed. Yu can buy it at supermarkets like Carrefour, Hero,Foodmart,etc.Price around 20-25k per 10 sheets.
-rice (cooking with rice cooker,add sugar and salt. When it's ready,mixed with rice vinegar/apple vinegar,it make the rice sticky and sushi-like)
- filling (carrots; tamago-omellete roll; chicken grilled with garlic, sweet soy sauce, sesame,onion, oyster sauce, parsley; mayonaise)
- Japanese soy sauce (Kikoman,Matsusa,etc) and wasabi

Now all you have to do is just prepare the nori above plastic sheets because i dont have bamboo roller. Fill with rice, make it flat, sprinkle some black sesame to better appearance. Flip it back. On empty nori,you fill the filling then starting to roll. Dont forget to press and squeeze them tightly,roll it,squeeze it,and after that cut it to 6-8 slice,any thckness you prefer and tadaaaaa...Homemade sesame chicken kimbab is ready to be my lunch..
It tastes good you know.. You have to try to make some...:D

Tokio Sushi

Another Japanese restaurant! Yeayy... Tokio Kitchen todayy..
Located at Central Park-again- besides the Urban Kitchen.. The place iss unique so i went there to try some. ENtry you will be given card to buy foods inside, remembering for not losing it or you will be charged 300k,omooo... Why that big amount? because max limit for you in 1 card is 300k.. 
Tokio is kind like foodcourt because there are many stands there, it's separated in section like dessert stand, mini snacks,okonomiyaki, rice, teppan, italian style, and sushi.
So may variety of foods.. I walk and walk and walk,,Confused..Muahahah,, and at last i decide to try okonomiyaki, there are special promo for salmon okonomiyaki for 35k..so i ordered 1,the staff ask for my card and swipe it,he gave me piece of paper and ask to give it to waiter. So i find my table, looking for waiterr..took quite a time because spacey place n few waiters so i have to yell, make sign,waving hand, and any other stupid signature to call them..Omoo..its not effective huh for their way..
After a really long waiting time-for my empty stomach- about 25 minutes,my salmon okonomiyaki came.This is it.

Quite big portion.. With mayo and sprinkle of fish, the look is okay,tempting.. So i tried it, not dry,a good sign for okonomiyaki, and i must said it taste good. The salmon is inside at the center only, but plenty of them so worth it with the price..You must try! But a little suggestion, sharing it will be better because for the last 2 slice, i am quite full and suffer to eat them..

Will i come again? For sure..Plenty of others menu is waiting to be tried...:D

Fusion Sushi at Hachi-Hachi Bistro

Have i mention i'm a fan of Japanese foods, especially sushi.. I'm in love with it.. So i quite spend my wages for trying sushi everywhere.
This time i try Hachi-Hachi Bistro.. Hachi-hachi is first opened in Surabaya,and open in Jakarta first at Taman Anggrek, now at Central Park open too..Good for me because Central Park quite become my most visited mall. 

Hachi-hachi is located at LG Floor of Central Park, you have to go from Carrefour forward to Mediterania 2 Apartment Tunnel,that you will find it. Place quite comfy,low light, Japanese theme,Japanese music..
eading the menu i quite confused what to order, afterall i ordered Volcano Roll-about 39k- and Big Plate Energizer-about 110k (i came with my bro n sis,so dont assume i ate it all by myself, my tummy is not that elastic :P).. And FYI the ocha here is not free, about 9k per big cup..no refill complimentary sadly..

 The visitor is quite crowded today here so i have to wait quite a long time for the food to FINALLY comeee,,, Chopstick ready, soy sauce ready, mixed with wasabi, anddd...i try the big plate first. Big Plate is consist of 7 type of sushi,there is single cukame, jellyfish,an spicy tuna roll,chicken mayo, and dragon roll.. Love them all besides the tuna roll,the taste is strange, and the tuna is raw,i dont really into it. The chicken is also so ordinary,nothing special. But the others are greatt..not bad..hahah quite contrary huh..
And after that i tried the volcano roll..Hummm so yummy, sticky, mayo cheese is so rich, and the sushi is fried for a whike i think.. The volcano sauce is creamy and tasty..officially become my fav menu..
If you ask will i come again? Yes i will,and i will try their famous spicy seafood udon, recommended later..Ciaoo..

Mud Cake at Manhattan Fish Market

"There is always room for dessert". 
Have you heard that statement? Huahaha i quite agree with that. Anytime i'm full but if someone offers me dessert, i will never refuse,That can be said my weak part :D I'm always craving for sweets,desserts,cake,omoooo...
Visiting the Manhattan Fish Market, i didnt order the main course, but straight to the dessert..Becaus of thin wallet, the meals here are not price-friendly if i may say.. So i will just try what i want to,the cake.

This time i will let you know one of -i dont know if this can be said- MUD CAKE..because this is typically chocolate ice cream with cake or brownies.
Served in small plate, the mud cake is getting some chocolate sauce and nut sprinkle for better looks..You have to eat it fast because like i said before, it's ice cream..It will melt soon so i try it as soon as it came. FIrst bite,omoo..How to describe, it's sticky for ice cream texture, the chocolate is rich,and the cake is so moist,blend perfectly wiith the ice cream..I goota say i love itttt... Price about 24k,still okay because it taste so good. I will come back again if you ask..:D

Delika

Have you heard about Delika?
Delika is one of pattiseries outlet that i knew not long ago when i went to Central Park.Located at 1st floor at Central Park Mall, West Jakarta, it is united with Hongkong Cafe and Tatsuya. The outlet is quite comfy because the low light and the fragrance, i dont know its aromatherapy or the tasty cakeeee..First entrance, there is a glassbox of slice cake, so many variants..there are macaroons too, confused of them i pick Mango Cake (25k)

 I always loves mango, so i wanna try this mango cake..It's quite seldom mango is used to be in cake. The waitress serves the cake, there are 2 layers of sponge cake, in between mango cream, and top of it slices of mango and cream. First tasting it honestly i quite dissapointed. The sponge cake is dried,a little bit of mango aroma,but slightly.. And the cream is nothing special, so ordinary.  So suggestion if you are at Delika and in confused of picking any cake, dont pick this. You will get just ordinary cakes.. But you must try their macaroon,its yummy although quite pricey,about 6k per 1 tiny macaroon.
