Every time I pass by this small storefront in Kelapa Gading, it's packed with people. The shop is so small it's hard to even turn around, but dessert lovers are willing to wait. Anjay, what kind of magic is this? Today, I'm checking it out for you girls!
The taste is truly Mantap 👍
Let's get straight to the point, I came specifically for their legendary Pistachio Tiramisu[1]. I understood after the first bite! The pistachio cream has just the right amount of savory saltiness and a rich nutty flavor, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the cake. The texture is silky smooth, and the layers are incredible! Even friends who don't have a sweet tooth can go for it.
Their Choux is also to die for[2]. They're not big, but the flavors are super creative. They have flavors like Klepon and Jasuke (sweet corn with cheese), so imaginative. The shell is crispy, and the cream filling has just the right amount of sweetness. It's not heavy at all after finishing one. The friend I was with ordered the Kinako Tiramisu[3], and it was also a pleasant surprise. The texture was very light, with a strong soybean fragrance. Overall, you can tell they use high-quality ingredients[4], and the taste lives up to the hype.
But hold on, let me tell you about the downsides too!
The taste is amazing, but the price is also really “pricey”🫠. One slice of Pistachio Tiramisu is almost 100k[5], which really hurts the wallet. Plus, the portions are on the mini side; a guy could probably finish it in two bites.
While the ambiance is very aesthetic and great for photos, the small space is a major drawback[6]. There are pitifully few seats, so it's basically impossible to comfortably Nongkrong for an afternoon. What I want to complain about the most is the service[7]. When it's crowded, the staff are crazy busy and can be a bit inattentive, which detracts from the experience.
My Honest Tips (get your notebooks ready)
- Know what you're going for: This place is suitable for a quick in-and-out afternoon tea, a date, or for takeout. If you want to chat with your group of girlfriends all afternoon, I'd advise you to find another place.
- Fail-proof ordering: Go for the Pistachio Tiramisu[8] and the various creative Choux[9]. You can basically order them with your eyes closed.
- There are"rules" for takeout: Just want to buy one to try? You might be told they don't provide a box for that[10]. This part is a bit weird, so be prepared.
- Service is a matter of luck: During peak hours, it's crowded and the service really can't keep up[11]. Just keep a chill mindset, think of it as just going for dessert, and don't have high expectations for the service.
- A note for those who pre-order: If you've ordered a whole cake, it's best to call and confirm with the shop before you go to pick it up[12], to avoid a wasted trip or a long wait at the shop.
- God-tier Pistachio Tiramisu [1]! Rich, savory nutty, silky texture. Even non-sweet fans are instantly hooked.
- Mind-blowing creative cream puffs [2]! Klepon to Jasuke flavors. Irresistible crispy-soft texture is divine!
- Tiramisu nearly 100k [3] & tiny shop [4]? Dessert fanatics queue for that premium bite [5].
