In Jakarta's dessert scene, who hasn't heard of the famous The Mandarin Oriental Cake Shop? 🙋♀️ Every time I pass by, I think,"It's a cake shop in a five-star hotel, it must be so expensive you'd only dare to splurge on your birthday." But today, this veteran"deal-hunting" blogger is going to share a top-secret tip with you!
🍰 The Taste, More Than Just a Legend
Honestly, the ambiance at MO's cake shop is impeccable. After all, it's in a five-star hotel, and the staff are all super nice, always smiling and very patient[1]. The takeaway boxes are also super exquisite, making it a great gift that will surely impress[2].
But let's get back to the main topic—the cakes!
- American Chocolate Cake: This thing is a legend in itself[3]! The taste hasn't changed for decades. I've been eating it since high school, and it tastes the same every single time. The chocolate is rich but not overly sweet, with a moist and dense texture. It's a foolproof choice for a birthday. Mantap!
- Cheese Cake: Cheese lovers, you have to try this! Their cheesecake is the most"꾸덕" (a Korean word for super thick and dense) I've had in Jakarta[4]. I was blown away by the first bite—this is the taste! Anjay, it's so rich and solid!
- Pistachio Cake: This one was a pleasant surprise! One customer even said it was"the best cake they've ever had in their life"[5]. The flavor is very unique with a strong pistachio aroma. It's worth a try.
🤫 Let's Be Real...
Although the taste is top-notch, we have to be honest.
The individual cake slices aren't that big[6]; a guy could probably finish one in two or three bites. Also, the reviews for their traditional Indonesian layer cake (Lapis Legit) are quite polarized[7]. Some consider it a classic, while others feel the taste doesn't justify the price, so it's really a matter of personal preference.
