pasta

Union.

It’s a place, a café, a restaurant.

It was located on Plaza Senayan Mall, South of Jakarta, Indonesia

I’ve been there several times and again I just falling in love with the decoration, the ambience, the meals, and of course the coffee.

This place is so famous and there’s always a queue for everything, such as to be seated and for the take-home sweets/cakes.

>> The Afternoon Tea.

At the first visit, I came with my fashionable colleagues. We tried the sweets. They called it “The Afternoon Tea”. They served it at 3 PM and we can only order at that time.

Why it named “Afternoon Tea”?

Because they served assorted sweets with two cups of hot tea.

I cannot remember each of the sweets’ name, but I can assure you that this sweets were well-worth

>> The coffee.

Just like any other latte, they served differently with coffee-art.

>> The cake.

We tried their famous cake ever, the red velvet and cheese cake.

It’s soft, rich and bold.

The red velvet was covered with peanuts and served with cream

I cannot describe more about these cakes, but pictures will.

The Red Velvet Cake

The Cheese Cake

>> The pasta.

Just like any other pastas, their pasta was as good as our expectation.

Overall,

This is well worth and I would love to come again and again!

That Hangover Horse.

Just like a room that customized into a mini cafe.

One day, me and a friend of mine trying to find something new around central of Jakarta. We found a unique name on the web “That Hangover Horse”. Such a unique name for us, and then we decided to go and try what so unique over there. It’s located at Wisma Geha- Basement floor, Timor Street No. 25, MH. Thamrin, Central of Jakarta (right after Sarinah building) The cafe was located in the basement, and it’s not hard to be found. Right after we entered the area of Wisma Geha (from back side), the basement was straight in front of us. We just need to climbed down a little steps and go to the right, then get into the cafe.

The cafe was small yet comfortable, especially if you bring a little group of yours. Since we went for lunch, the cafe served only for the two of us 😀 The cafe was a little rock, served with the LCD TV for karaoke, decorated with empty bottles (such wines and alcohols), mini characters display, cute character mugs, and also a mini bar. So, if you really want to be hangover with your little group, this place’s rock!

We tried their meals: macaroni mac & cheese and their signature garlic rice. The macaroni served just like usual pasta but the taste was good. The cheese and ham were mixed well enough with the pasta. Their garlic rice was great. The rice was heart-shaped and served you with three hearts, served also with mushrooms and chickens. This garlic rice was unique and new for us.

For our beverages, we chose the simple hot lemon tea and “teh tarik”. Here comes the dessert. Since we searched for something unique, we chose their pudding with caramel Bailey syrup. The taste was sweet (for the caramel) and quite strong (for the alcohol-from the Bailey’s)

Overall, this place’s rock and simple yet comfortable
