OMG guys, who gets it? I was just casually Nongkrong around Tebet in Jakarta, when the aroma from a small shop totally captivated me... I went closer to check it out, and it turned out to be a lokal Indonesian chocolate brand, Korté. Honestly, I didn't have high hopes at first, after all, it's a lokal brand, you know? But... I'm completely hooked!
The shop isn't big, it's a shared space with a coffee shop[1], but the vibe is super chill. The most killer part is the service, it's absolutely top-tier! As soon as I walked in, the guy brought me a welcome drink, and then super patiently asked which flavors I wanted to sample. I said I wanted to try them all, and without batting an eye, he just said,"Boleh!" (You can!).
What came next was my moment in heaven✨. A full 27 flavors of chocolate were all lined up, from safe bets like sea salt and cookies, to all sorts of wild, limited-edition Indonesian flavors you could never imagine, like Mango Salad (Rujak Mangga)[2] and Tempeh (Tempe Praline)[3], and you can sample them all for free[4]! The guy's knowledge was also super impressive, he explained the story behind each chocolate bar so clearly[5]. My favorites were two flavors: one was 'Fireworks'[6], which has popping candy in it, it crackles and pops in your mouth, so much fun! The other one is my personal favorite—'Breakfast Crunch'[7], it has a crunchy texture, and is incredibly delicious!
To be fair, their quality can really hold its own, it's not at all inferior to those ridiculously expensive imported big brands[8]. As for the price, a single bar is about 54k Indonesian Rupiah[9], which isn't dirt cheap, but it's definitely great value for money. But there's one small complaint, if you want to buy their chocolate powder to make at home, the packaging might not have instructions on how to prepare it[10], so remember to ask them on the spot when you buy it, otherwise you might be clueless when you get home, haha.
