Momi & Toy's : Japan Creperie Choices to Die For!

Dessert is always be my favorite, comfort food. That is why I got super super excited to go to Momi & Toy's Creperie in Lippo Mall Kemang. Located on the 3rd floor, it's not like any ordinary take away crepe store, instead the concept is a Cafe.

Momi & Toy's is originally came from Japan, and they are a franchise company. The name "Momi" itself is the owner's name. At first, I'm sure you thought "Momi" means "Mommy" just like me! Hahahaha. Well, at least now you know, right? ;) 

As you can see from the wallpaper decoration, Momi & Toy's is specializing on Crepe (Sweet & Savory). All of the crepe dough is home-made by Momi & Toy's, as well as their several sauces (i.e : Green Tea). 

When you walk in the cafe, you could see a lot of Japanese style decoration, as well as Japan Tourist & Cultural pictures hanging on the wall. 

The wall that caught my attention is the "Wall of Momi&Toy's Fame." Turns out that Momi & Toy's is having a Crepe-Class for kids (age 4 - 12 years old) regularly. For more information, you could ask the waiter there or contact the phone number listed on the brochure. Kids that join the class will be photograph and Momi & Toy's crew will put it on the wall. All of the photos are super cute! 

Even though their concept is cafe, for customers who wants to take away their order could come to the cashier, and order there. Momi & Toy's also have an open kitchen for the crepe, where you could see the process on making your crepe. Your waiting will never be boring here.

Special of The Month 

(14th May - 12th June 2016, only at Momi & Toy's Lippo Mall Kemang)

Lucky me, when I got there, I got a chance to try their special menus (waffle, yeayy!!) of the month, accompany by the Regional Marketing Manager (he's a Japanese that could speak Bahasa Indonesia - I know, cool right? ) and also the Marketing Manager from Indonesia, Ms. Uni. 

Nutella Cheese Waffle (2pcs) - IDR 29,900

I always love dessert in its original form. The waffle texture is so chewy, soft, and smooth. No wonder of course, because the dough is home-made with love ;)

It taste not to sweet, and blends perfectly with the cheese, nutella and the chocolate sauce. I'd love to have this with english breakfast tea for my breakfast.

Nutella Banana Waffle - IDR 44,900

Still using the same waffle-dough, this time Momi & Toy's combine it with chocolate & vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, nutella, chocolate pocky, bananas, and some nougat peanuts. No need to ask me, of course this one taste heavenly yummy to me! Who doesn't love waffle with choco or even vanilla ice cream? 

Matcha Nutella Waffle - IDR 54,900

For matcha lovers, Momi & Toy's also have the choice of Matcha ice cream & Matcha sauce. The matcha sauce is home-made and taste super duper good! The other difference is in this menu, they're using Marshmallow (yum yum!). 

All Day Sweet Crepes Menu

Matcha Nutella - IDR 29,900

Looking for an ordinary crepes, with matcha sensation? Then I will recommend Matcha Nutella, since the green tea flavor is super strong and I'm sure could attract all the matcha lovers out there. Psst... you could take away this menu ! ;)

Premium Crepes

Black & White - IDR 59,900

For those of you who wants to order their premium or signature menus, you could try this "Black and White" crepe. The crepe is rolled into an ellipse shape, and there are 3 different toppings in each of the crepes. There are Nutella, Peanut Butter, and Toblerone. My favorite one will be the Nutella because I love chocolate too much! Don't forget to blend it with the vanilla ice cream, okay?

Chewy chewy, I bet you're drooling right now, because I do !! LOL.

Toblerone Chocolate & Cheese - IDR 59,900

I could say that this is - still & maybe forever will be - my favorite menu from Momi & Toy's. The crepe texture is so soft, the cream inside is smooth and super creamy-savory, the grated toblerone & cheese, the thick chocolate sauce, the vanilla ice cream, and the nougat all blends really well together. A comfort food indeed ! 

Beverages

Momi & Toy's Original Fruit Tea - IDR 34,900

This tea has a unique taste, with a peach flavor & scent hint. Mix together with mint leaves, lemon, lychee, and peach, this fruit tea is definitely must try - hot or ice - You could share this drink with 3 - 5 persons. 

OH MY GOD, I want to go here and try the crepe! Well, don't forget to drop by Momi & Toy's creperie, and you could take a look at their menus there. There are also informations on the current promo & the special menus of the month. Simply ask the waiter, because they'll happily assist you ;)

Ritz Carlton : Elegantly Delicious Fine Dining at Lobo Restaurant

Hello there! I got a chance to visit Lobo at The Ritz Carlton Mega Kuningan, Jakarta, to have a lunch together with some foodies. As I walk in, I was mesmerized by the interior of Ritz Carlton, particularly Lobo restaurant. It's super elegant, fancy, and contemporary. 

As I approach the dining table, where some foodies have arrived before me, one waiter smoothly direct me to my chair. He slide the chair for me and as I sat down, he opened up the table napkin professionally. For the first impression, it was a very satisfying service. 

Fresh Bread with Butter Selections - Complimentary

One of the waiter brought us a table full of fresh bread selections. They look so yummy and just came out from the oven! I tried some breads, and also with the butter selections. The butter flavors are ranging from original butter until onion butter-mix. A good start to fill your time and tummy, while waiting for the Appetizers.

APPETIZERs

Amouse Bouche (Three Small Bites)

Eventhough the size is small, but the flavor is rich! Super love the soup broth, it's so tasty and heart-warming. Feels like I'm home and my grandmother is cooking the soup for me. A great start for our lunch, indeed.

King Prawn Carpaccio - IDR 175,000

Who knows that this is actually a prawn? Made from Fresh Prawn, Mixed Leafs, Dried Pineapple, Keffir Lime Oil, Lime Cilantro Dressing, and Peanut, this dish is super refreshing & watery, definitely could taste the prawn once you bite on the food. The presentation is unique, the salad is also fresh, and that dried pineapple is to die for.

Creamy Soup of Wild Mushroom  - IDR 150,000

The Chef who served us today originally came from France. He said, in France, whenever and wherever you eat, you must start with a soup. That's why, he personally cooked for us this smooth, tasty, and flavorful mushroom soup. Consist of Roasted Mushroom, Cappucino Foam, and Basil Oil, it's best served when warm. Honestly, this soup is going to my number 1 list as the most delicious & favorite soup. 

Ah, before I move on to the next, mouth watering dish, I want to tell you that the uniqueness of Lobo Restaurant at Ritz Carlton Mega Kuningan Jakarta - and this one reason make me fell in love with Lobo Restaurant - is their service & presentation. They don't serve us the food like in a usual restaurant. They serve the food, and then do some "Attraction" in front of us, for example adding the spices to our food, or even pouring the soup to our bowl, grated the cheese for our tortellini, and so on. They're showing that their food is fresh and their service is number one. Wow - super exciting and makes you feel deeply valued, right?

MAINCOURSEs

Foei Gras  Tortellini - IDR 225,000 

Made from Home-made Pasta, Foei Gras Sauce, Orange, and Grated Cheese (optional), Foei Gras is one of my favorite dish ever, but this one is definitely a total bomb! You gotta eat it one whole at a time, and surprisingly it will pop out in your mouth! Yes, you'll taste the sensation of the sauce blends together with the duck flavour - all around your mouth. I could say that the sensation is priceless.

Option I : Crispy Half Suckling Pig - IDR 875,000

Calling all the pork lovers!! If you are one of the pork squad, then you definitely need to try Lobo Crispy Half Sucking Pig with Apple Puree, Pineapple Lemongrass Puree, and Suckling Pig Gravy. The skin is so crispy, oily and tasty and that pig meat... so tender and juicy! A well-match with the gravy. However, I honestly said I don't like both puree's. According to my taste, savoury dish could not blend well with a sweet taste. 

Option II : Grilled Fish (Seasonal) 

Relax, for those who couldn't eat or doesn't like eating pork, you could also have the Grilled Fish as your main course. The fish availability is according to the season. It's perfectly grilled and the fish meat is super tender. Melts in your mouth!

DESSERTs

Mango Sorbet

A while after we finish our main course and having an interesting talk, the waiter came again to serve the dessert. As we are waiting for some "dessert performance" from the kitchen crew, Lobo restaurant serve a refreshing mango sorbet. To re-fresh our appetite. 

Infused Ice Cream - in Art Platter - IDR 235,000

The kitchen crew brought a large table with lots of kitchen tools. The marketer from Ritz Carlton told us that the dessert we're going to enjoy is an Infused Ice Cream with Art Platter. As starter, there's a how to make infused ice cream demo (super fun!).

While one kitchen crew made / infused the ice cream, the other one start to make the art on the plate. He put varieties of sauce, some chocolate powder, lemon ice cream, and fruits.

Finally, the infused ice cream is on the plate, and we could smash the ice cream ball so it could break to pieces, making the art platter complete.

Taste refreshing, and the kitchen crew live performance or the process in making the infused ice cream art platter is super fun! A really great dessert choice to close our lunch session.

Funtas Tea Cooking Dilmah Tea Indonesia ft. Chef Peter Kuruvita!

Hayooo…. siapa disini yang suka memasak? Pasti mengenal sosok Chef Peter Kuruvita, Chef yang memiliki spesialisasi masakan dengan gaya Sri Lanka. Nah, BornToBite beruntung banget nih, karena pada hari Sabtu lalu, tepatnya tanggal 27 Februari 2016, BornToBite mendapat special invitation dari PT David Roy Indonesia, yang merupakan Distributor Resmi Teh Dilmah di Indonesia ke acara Tea and Food Pairing with Peter Kuruvita, High Tea Jakarta, Afternoon Tea Jakarta

Tentang Dilmah Tea

Dilmah Tea Selections

Bagi kamu yang penasaran, sebenarnya Dilmah Tea itu teh darimana, ya? Dilmah Tea merupakan teh berkualitas premium yang ditemukan oleh Merrill J. Fernando sejak tahun 1950an. Didistribusikan langsung dari Sri Lanka oleh PT David Roy Indonesia, Dilmah Tea sendiri memiliki packaging elegan sekaligus fresh. Dilmah Tea dapat ditemukan di hotel-hotel berbintang, maupun supermarket kesayanganmu. 

Tentang Chef Peter Kuruvita

Salah satu buku Chef Peter Kuruvita

Khusus yang tidak mengikuti berita didunia masak, Chef Peter Kuruvita sendiri memang sangat populer dan dikenal oleh banyak orang, khususnya di dunia para Chef serta industri makanan dan minuman. Beliau memiliki beberapa restoran di Australia, yang rata-rata menyajikan Seafood. Tak hanya itu saja, Chef Peter Kuruvita memiliki program televisi tersendiri dimana dia mempraktekkan teknik memasaknya kepada para penonton. Bahkan, Chef Peter Kuruvita juga merupakan pengarang dari buku masak, lho!  

Tea and Food Pairing with Chef Peter Kuruvita 

Para panitia sedang menjelaskan Run Down acara

Acara ini merupakan sebuah acara dimana kita bisa menyaksikan demo memasak secara live oleh Chef Peter Kuruvita (Horrayy!! Kapan lagi bisa dapat kesempatan ini?). Berbeda dari demo memasak lainnya, disini Chef Peter akan memasak dengan mencampurkan teh dalam setiap masakannya. 

“Hmm… emang teh bisa ya dijadikan bahan masakan? Bukannya teh itu hanya untuk minum saja?” 

Hahahaha, kalau kamu berpikir seperti itu juga, berarti kamu sama persis dengan BornToBite. Namun, ternyata pemikiran kita salah, lho! Ternyata teh pun bisa “nyambung” dan terasa enak jika dipadukan dengan aneka masakan, entah itu makanan berat (yes, you read it right!) sampai ke dessert. 

Earl Grey Infused Chocolate Truffles

Siapa yang tidak suka makan dessert? BornToBite sih paling suka, ya. Apalagi Chocolate Truffle dengan bahan utama Dark Chocolate dicampur dengan teh Earl Grey. To my surprise, ternyata chocolate dan teh itu bisa jadi best friend for dessert, lho! Taste super unique, rasa teh-nya benar-benar berasa dan tidak di overpowering sama Chocolate-nya.

Crispy Biscuits with The Original Earl Grey Jam

Dipagi hari yang cerah, ataupun di sore hari santai, paling enak adalah makan cookies ditemani dengan teh hangat. Apalagi sambil mendengarkan lagu jazz ataupun lagu mellow… wah! Asyik banget, deh. Nah, kali ini, Chef Peter langsung mencampurkan biskuit dengan selai teh. Chef Peter menyajikannya saat selai masih hangat dan rasanya bikin nagih! Aduh, jadi pingin ngemil terus, nih…

Green Tea and Jasmine Scented Steamed Prawns

BornToBite suka banget dengan seafood, apalagi kalau disajikan dengan nasi hangat ala-ala sushi. Tetapi, selama ini BornToBite tidak pernah makan udang yang direbus dengan teh, lho. Bahkan, terpikir untuk memadukan teh dengan udang saja tidak pernah. Lagi-lagi, terpukau banget dengan rasa udang yang telah dikukus menggunakan air Green Tea dan Jasmine. Terasa banget lho teh-nya, dan rasa udangnya pun tak berkurang. Makin enak rasa seafoodnya!

Oxtail with Lapsang Souchong Leaf Tea

Seperti yang bisa kalian lihat di Instagram-nya BornToBite, yaitu @meganfaustine, ini adalah sop buntut yang dimasak menggunakan teh jenis Lapsang Souchong. Daun teh ini memang dikhususkan untuk masak memasak, dan aromanya pun benar-benar kuat. Melalui campuran teh ini, rasa sop buntutnya makin nikmat, aromanya pun benar-benar terasa.

Vodka Infused with Berry Sensation Real Leaf Tea

Ini nih, yang paling tidak disangka-sangka! Ternyata, minuman alkohol pun bisa juga lho dikreasikan bersama dengan teh. Meskipun kata Chef Peter Kuruvita “It’s discovered by mistake” namun tetap saja, it’s a damn beautiful mistake! Jadi, vodka di letakkan disebuah shaker bersama dengan 4 bungkus Dilmah Tea Berry Sensation Real Leaf Tea, kemudian di infused menggunakan oksigen. Voila! Jadilah Vodka beraroma teh. Unik banget minuman satu ini!

The Mixologist TeaMaker

Selain berkesempatan untuk melihat demo dari Chef Peter Kuruvita tentang bagaimana memadukan teh dan makanan, BornToBite juga mendapat kesempatan untuk melihat kreasi minuman dari teh yang kreatif dan lain daripada yang lain. Jadi, teh ini digunakan dalam campuran Cocktail dan Mocktail. Kali ini, tim dari "The Mixologist TeaMaker" yang telah berkesempatan menimba ilmu hingga ke Sri Lanka yang akan mendemonstrasikannya. 

Lemon Cavir Mint by Maygen Zulwandi

Minuman beralkohol alias Cocktail satu ini memiliki campuran peppermint tea, daun cavir lime, homemade gomme, dan simple fresh lime juice. Rasanya unik dan pasti tidak menyangka kalau ada teh didalamnya! Baru tau kan, bahwa minum teh itu bukan sekedar diseduh saja, tetapi bisa di shake dan dipadukan dengan aneka bahan lainnya?

Ceylon Rose Finest Mocktail by Ade Kurniawan

Bagi kamu yang tidak minum alkohol, maka Mocktail pun bisa menjadi pilihan tepat. Menggunakan Dilmah Tea Ceylon, Mocktail satu ini memiliki campuran lemon juice, apple juice, dan french vanilla syrup. Rasanya sangat refreshing!

Thank you Dilmah Tea and Chef Peter Kuruvita for the knowledge and experiences!

Chef Peter Kuruvita ramah dan friendly banget! Dia langsung menyajikan makanan untuk dicoba oleh para bloggers.

Bisa dibilang, selama mengikuti acara Funtas Tea Cooking persembahan Dilmah Tea Indonesia ini, BornToBite mendapatkan begitu banyak ilmu sekaligus ilham yang baru. Dilmah Tea Indonesia dan Chef Peter Kuruvita benar-benar merubah sudut pandang tentang teh dan makanan! Thumbs up!!

A happy face of me when meeting Chef Peter Kuruvita!
