D&K Dessert & Cafe Shop, A Great Place for Hangout!

Last weekend, I got a chance to visit this incredibly simple yet cute 2 floors restaurant at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta Utara. It’s called D&K Dessert & Cafe Shop, with a squirrel for their mascot. Once enter the cafe shop, you’ll spot a bright, spacious and homey ambiance with a simple swing playground design. I directly fell in love with this spot, and I think it’s very suitable for you who wants to do “nongkrong cantik”.











For you who need a private space, you could go to the second floor, where there are two tables that are separated with woods and can accomodate 5 – 6 pax. Don’t worry though, you won’t feel cramped inside because the space is still spacious enough. What I like the most about the private – but not so private – area is the small window, where you still could see the light coming through. Heartwarming!


FOOD


Appetizers

Hongkong Fishball Curry - IDR 32,000



It’s served like a satay, but with curry gravy instead of peanut. The fishball is so easy to chew and thank God it’s not fishy. The curry flavor is not too strong, so it won’t ruin your next dish ;)


Main Course


Mini Rainbow - IDR 58,000



There are three colourfull little burgers with Red, Yellow and Green colour – like a traffic light, right? LoL – it’s super cute yet tasty. The bun is soft and the meat is tender. It’s suitable for sharing!

Tiger Bread Roll - IDR 42,000



Rolled with eggs, bread flour, zucchini, and some other ingredients, the taste of the tuna is still strong and you could feel it inside your mouth. Eventhough it seems small, but it’s packed and heavy enough for a meal.

Gyudon - IDR 50,000



If you’re craving for rice and real meet, then you must order this scrumptious Gyudon. The meat is juicy, well-burnt, and full of flavour. There’s also a soft-ruin eggs that you could enjoy the Gyudon with. Simply a bowl of happiness!

Dk Chicken Karage - IDR 38,000





Who doesn’t like a melted, never ending mozarella cheese in their meal? With a very affordable price and rich of chicken meat and mozarella, DK Chicken Karage will surely boost your appetite and mood during the day. Love the chicken texture, because it’s not too thick and just blend perfectly with the flour and cheese!


DESSERTS


Crispy Waffle with Ice Cream - IDR 48,000



Everything about dessert should be cute, including the presentation. Using a delicate yet simple presentation, the brownie cake taste good, the waffle is crispy and you could combine it all together with a scoop of ice cream.

Molten Lava Set - IDR 35,000





One of my favorite dessert is a lava cake. The lava cake from D&K Dessert is really rich of chocolate flavor and the filling is generous. Still warm inside, you might want to mix it with a cold vanilla ice cream. Yummy!


Panncota Pudding Ice Cream - IDR 35,000




The pannacotta is fluffy, smooth and taste dark chocolate. One of my type of comfort food,  delish and the portion is enough.

BEVERAGES


Greentea Milk Shake - IDR 30,000





Served in a cute curvy glass, the greentea flavor is not that strong and the sweetness is well-balanced. It’s served with a whipped cream, so if you don’t really like something too sweet, you might want to tell the waitress to get rid of the whipped cream.

Strawberry Yoghurt Ice Blended - IDR 29,000




Actually, I don’t expect this ice blended to taste sweet. So if you like sweet strawberry, this drink might be suitable for your taste. The yoghurt blends really well and they also use milk inside.

Mango Yoghurt Ice Blended - IDR 29,000



Different than the strawberry, the mango taste a bit sour. However, I prefer this one because for me it’s more refreshing!

Peach Calpis Slurpee - IDR 29,000



Craving for something refreshing? This mocktail consist of soda that could make your eyes blink rapidly fast when you zip it for the first time. Don’t forget to blend it first because it’s really sweet on the bottom.

Thai Milk Tea - IDR 20,000



Nowadays, the popularity of Thai Milk Tea is indeed increasing. If you want to try the authentic thai milk tea, D&K Dessert could be one of your options. Flavourful and really Thai indeed!

Blackcoffee Ice - IDR 35,000



Fancy for some coffee? This beverages allow you to pour your own coffee inside the glass, so it feels more aunthentic if you drink the coffee. Don’t worry the taste is not that bitter and well balanced with the milk.

Frappe Cappucino - IDR 29,000



If you can’t drink a strong coffee, you could order the frappe instead. However, for me the frappe is too sweet and the cappucion taste is not really there.

Hot Chocolate Marshmallow - IDR 35,000



For those who want some comfort during rainy season and cold weather, hot chocolate is always the best option. Served with marshmallow, it’s best if you zip it while its warm.


Overall, eating inside D&K Dessert & Cafe Shop is not merely about dessert. You could enjoy their other selections of meals such as the gyudon or karage. With an affordable price (around IDR 100,000 for 2 people), surely this place could be one of your alternatif while looking for a place to hang out in Pantai Indah Kapuk area.

Skipjack Tuna Hot Chilli Sensation by Seablings !

You are a business owner, full-time employee, housewives, or any other professions that requires most of your time? You don't have time to cook your lunch or even go to a nearby restaurant? Well, this food may become the best solutions for you. 

Brofish! Skipjack Tuna (Hot Chili)



Comes in a glass-sealed jar, it's a ready to eat Skipjack Tuna with chili flavor. If you want to eat it, simply take a scoop of the fish and heat it inside the microwave ONLY FOR 2 MINUTES ! Simple, easy and delicious right? You could easily store it inside the fridge for 1 month. 


It's produced by Seablings, a small medium enterprise in Indonesia, located in Jakarta. With their cute blue design, a fish stamp and easy to store jar, you could buy it only for IDR 55,000. The portion itself is enough for 3-4 times serving, depends on your portion.


What I love the most is that it's FISHBONE FREE !! Yeayy means I don't need to get my hands dirty and it saves time! The fish itself is really delicate and flavourfull. The chili is so hot (for me, because I can't stand chili) ! If you're a chili lovers, you gonna fall for this.



What to eat with this? Well, for me, I scoop rice from my rice cooker, then just pour some of the tuna above the rice. LESS than 3 minutes, I got my rice, tuna and chili. Horray, it's time to eat!


Thanks, reader(s)!

Yumzaa : Enjoy the Moment with Your Loved Ones!

Weekend is always best spend with your family or friends. If you are looking for a new place to hang out, with great choice of food, nice ambiance, cozy spaces, and - of course - affordable price, then I know a place just right for you! Yes, it’s Yumzaa Restaurant! 


From the name, I think you could already guess that this is a Chinese food restaurant. I could say that they are more to a fusion restaurant based on their menus, despite the fact that they serve varities of -yummy- chinese dimsum. With their variety of menus and a very spacious area located at the heart of Tangerang city, I could say that Yumzaa is suitable for one of your restaurant hangout choices. 

Yumzaa Resto Review 


Few weeks ago, I got a chance to visit Yumzaa restaurant at their Karawaci Branch. The exact location is at Supermal Karawaci, Ground Floor, Jl. Boulevard Diponegoro No. 105, Karawaci, Tangerang. 

They have 2 different sections here, one is their “indoor” restaurant where you could have more private area, less noises and with bar chair seating options. The other one is the “outdoor” where you could see Yumzaa open kitchen, a complete mall Karawaci view and of course with more noises. 

The indoor restaurant with less noises

A bar-chair seating style

I prefer the outside one, since I could watch the chefs preparing and cooking our food! It’s really fun to watch, since they are cooking super fast while communicating to each other, ensuring each of the customers order. 

The best thing from Yumzaa Restaurant, all of their crews are using a face cover while working,  peeling, preparing and cooking the food. So it’s proven that their kitchen is super hygiene! Nothing to worry about! 

Yumzaa crews are using a face cover!
Super hygiene, right?

In addition, with the open kitchen concept, you could see the whole process of your food - starting from the preparation until the cooking process. Yeap, everything here is freshly made and cooked, just for you! 

All foods are freshly made & cook by order


Live Demo : DimSum Making


When I was there, I also got a chance to see the live demo of DimSum making, and even luckier, I got a chance to try making the DimSum! 

Yumzaa's head chef is preparing for the Live DimSum demo!

First, the head chef of DimSum show us how to make Spring Rolls and Siomay. These two dishes are the customers favorite DimSum menus. It might be small in size, but kinda difficult and complicated in the making process! 

How to make Siomay demo

How to make Spring-Roll demo

After the Chef show how to make the Dimsum, then Yumzaa crew divided us into teams to compete in making the Spring Rolls and also the Siomay. It was totally fun and we’re rushing with the time given by Yumzaa! So exciting !! 

This is how our dimsum look like

Well, unfortunately my team didn’t win the DimSum making challange. But we also super happy and congratulate other team for their winning! 

Congratulations to the winning team!!

Then, after we watch the live demo of DimSum making and also compete to make DimSum, finally it’s time to eat ! There are lots of food that I try here, but here are some of my favorites.

DIMSUM


I love Dimsum! Eating DimSum in a chinese food restaurant is like a must. Dimsum could be shared with your loved ones, which makes me adore Dimsum more, since it could bring people closer together through sharing :) 

Siew Mai - IDR 16,000


1 portion consist of 3 siew mai. I must say, the price is affordable because you could have 3 siew mai with lots of chicken meat and prawns inside. It’s flavourful ! 

Lumpia Kulit Tahu Goreng Isi Udang - IDR 22,000


This is also one of my favorite fried DimSum. Also comes in 3 little portions, I could taste the prawn inside the dish. Super recommended if you also like fried DimSum like me. 

Bakpao Telur Asin - IDR 14,000



Salted egg is now a trending dish in Jakarta - Tangerang area. Everything now turns into salted egg - starting from Dimsum into Croissant. I must say that eventhough the name is salted egg, but the taste is somehow sweet. If you are not into savory DimSum, then this might become a great choice. It also has a smooth and soft texture. 

MAIN COURSE 


After enjoying the DimSum as our appetizer, then it’s time to try their main course selections! Starting from dried noodle, soup, until baked rice, they almost have everything here! These are some of my favorites. 

Baked Rice dengan Daging Sapi Lada Hitam - IDR 38,000 


The rice itself is super buttery and flavourful. The cheese and the meat is super generous ! Super recommended dish if you are hungry and craving for a delish dish complete with meat and cheese. 

Nasi Goreng Udang & Ikan dengan Saus XO - IDR 28,000 



For those who don’t know what to order and want a “safe” dish, then fried rice is the best options. Full of seafood, the fried rice is tasty and it comes in a great portion. 

Mie dengan Ayam Cha Siew & Telur - IDR 26,000


Are you a noodle lover? If yes, this is a great choice for you! The chicken cha siew is tasty, complete with the oily chicken skin - yummy! -  and there’s also a half boiled egg to enjoy with the noodle. 

DESSERT


The best way to end the day after a heavy meal is through desserts ! Yumzaa also offers varities of desserts that you could choose. 


Es Kacang Merah - IDR 25,000


I’m not really a fan of red beans, but Yumzaa red beans have a hint of sweetness, and because it served with shaved ice, it's refreshing! A great combination with whatever main course you choose. The portion is big too, so if you couldn’t finish 1 portion, just share it with your family or friends. 

Roti Tebal dengan Es Krim - IDR 28,000


For those who crave for something sweet, then this dessert is your best options. Just who on earth doesn’t love bread with chocolate ice cream? The texture of the bread itself is super soft and it will be better if they add more butter inside. 

BEVERAGES


Juice Stroberi - IDR 22,000


When I order juice for a drink, I always request for no-sugar & no-milk. Yes, I prefer a pure fruit juice. Most of the time at a regular restaurant, the taste will be plain because it will be too much water on the juice. Different with a high-end restaurant where they create a pure juice using a Juicer or Fruit Extractor. However, Yumzaa restaurant is different than others. The strawberry is super fresh and not watery. Recommended!

Juice Alpukat Milo - IDR 25,000


Yes, it’s like the best drink for those who loves avocado. Avocado with milo - is like a dream come true, right? No wonder that this drink is one of the most favorite drink at Yumzaa Restaurant. 

BONUS : SPECIAL OFFER! 


Yes, these are the special  offers available on Yumzaa Restaurant ! Make sure that you won’t miss it, okay? For you who don't want to miss Yumzaa's current offer, you could visit their Facebook Page : Yumzaa Indonesia , Twitter : @yumzaa_id and Instagram @yumzaa.id 

YEAYYY Everything for IDR 14,900 !! 

Horray! Discount 50% for their selected menus ;)
I do enjoy my time in Yumzaa, along with the very great services from their crews, the live dimsum making show, the ambiance, the companion and of course the food!
