            Yesterday, we went to Mr.Holmes Bakeshop, and tried their famous cruffin, that is, an abbreviation of croissant muffin. It's their most popular menu and we tried their funky flavor: KEY LIME. We also bought the chocolate and green-tea croissant, and passion fruit doughnuts. Overall, it's a good trip and good food. The cruffin's texture is really good crunchy and flaky outside, and fluffy inside. The filling is very concentrated and we highly recommend that you eat it after you bought it before it gets soggy. Please watch our youtube video for more food-venture's reviews. P.s It's our first shoot, only for fun, don't expect too much and would love to hear your feedback <3.

                                       OKU's Japanese Cuisine 

           Recently I got to try one of the most hype Japanese restaurants in Jakarta, Indonesia called Oku Japanese Restaurant. If you are interested in this place, check out their website:  https://www.kempinski.com/en/jakarta/hotel-indonesia/dining/restaurants/oku-japanese-restaurant/ . The main chef, Kazumasa Yazawa, will check if the food meets the quality control. 

The List:  

Chicken Karaage  This is the best meal out of all, their chicken karaage. It is different than any other chicken Karaage. I would recommend this as a starter. The inside of the chicken Karaage has been infused with ponzu sauces and mushroom. Try this out so that you don't miss out the amazing dish from Oku. In Omakase, you will be give two small meal but as from appetizer, you will be given six pieces

Sushi: Beef Belly+ Uni+ Caviar

Regarding taste, the most outstanding taste would be Salmon Belly compared to Uni and the caviar. Followed by Uni and Caviar. If you order as an appetizer, I would say this is pretty fulfilling, but if you order it in omakase, it comes as one sushi. The small size would be good enough if you just a hint of it. 

Ajitama

Ajitama. This would be Organic Egg Smoked Rice Straw, Organic Egg, and Shigureni Beef. The presentation is very attractive to this meal. In our understanding.  Having the lids to cover the egg for the egg can be infused with the dried rice straw sensation, and if you are crazy about eggs, you should give it a shot because it is very runny. The egg is nicer than the one in Okonomiyaki.

Chu Toro Sushi  Chu Toro sushi , over all its very similar like other chu toro in other restaurants .

Truffle Gyu Don Black Truffle Sauce, Onsen Egg and US Beef

This is The best meal among other meal as you can taste the truffle infused with the meat. Also,the runny egg makes it more tasty for the meat as well as the rice

Runn Egg on this truffle Gyu Don.  I would say this is the second high light of the meal. I know this meal is currently a trend, but I won't lie because you can taste truffle down to your throat. They are using both truffle and  shaved truffles. Also,   The runny egg runs perfectly with the tenderness of the meat. Regarding proportion, this would be good for one person. Yeah truffle and runny eggs for the winner.

                                   

Donpeyaki,

Donpeyaki, this is similar like okonomayaki. The presentation of the food but the overall taste is okay. If you like eggs, give it a try because I find the eggs is fluffy. 

Chawan Musi Part 1

Chawan Musi Part 2

If you like something soupy, this Chawan musi will be a perfect choice. I think this is a combination of Chawan um with miso soup. They are very soft and completed with minced chicken as well as seaweed.
                                
Compared to the popsicle, I prefer this dessert.  I'm a sweet tooth. In terms of size, it's not too big which is good if you're very full from the full course set meal. In terms of the sweetness, i's not to sweet. May I present to you, Yuki. It is a Yuzu Chocolate Mousse , Lemon Cloud , Dulcey Sponge Cake with Crunchy Chocolate Praline.


Hope you enjoy my post!

Recently we had a holiday at San Diego and we found this hidden gem which is a dessert place. The dessert place Extraordinary dessert . This dessert place has beautiful decorations and their cake is very rich in flavor and chocolate. If you are looking something that is rich and looks pretty, get these cakes. It will also looks good in your Instagram feed. I would recommend order one cake for two people, because no kidding these cakes are bold in flavor and decorations and also huge in portion.

Their cookies for valentine's session.

Looking for Birthday cakes, cakes for your dates :)

Cupcakes, Chocolates, and fruity side of the cakes.

This restaurant doesn't only offer desserts but they also have paninis, dips, spreads, grilled cheese and many selection of sides. 

Here's the address: 1430 Union St, San Diego, CA92101

Aloha From Belles Filles

ALOHA! For those of you who is a huge fan of mutsubi or hawaiin food, you have to try this LihoLiho Yacht club . This restaurant is located at 871 Sutter Street, San Fransisco CA 94109. Please book your seat in advance, because the restaurant is always packed at (415)440-5446 or you can always go to yelp . I would say this is a Hawaiian Fussion and below here's the list that has been recommended by the chefs and us .



Tuna poke, sesame oil, radish, nori cracker 15.50


The highlight of this meal is actually their Nori Cracker . This is a really crispy nori cracker because they fried it. The tuna is also good but not as good as their nori cracker. This is good fit for appetizer since the size is not that big because if you order an entree, the entree will be quite plenty. Some says it's too pricy , it is $15.50, I really like the nori but what do you guys think? Comments below needed :)


Duck liver toast, jalapeno, pickled pineapple 9.75

Did someone say FOIE.., Yap it is also sold here and it's top with pineapple and jalapeño. Weird combination huh? but it's worth to try, it taste funky, u get the creamy side and the fruity side. If you like Foie, def should try, it's creamy good and the pricing is not bad for foie.


Fried rice, bay shrimp, spam, abalone mushrooms 15.75

Say What? Spamlicious. Yes I really like the spam and their saucing. The reason why their spam is homemade unlike any other restrurants. if you are asian and looking for rice on the side, this meal would be a perfect choice. However, if you are allergic to shrimp, they have something off menu which only includes rice and spam. YOU RICE ME UP #punintended.


Grilled shortrib, escargot, bone marrow, mushrooms, leeks, fresh horseradish 36.75

Here's the massive Hu Ha during the meal. This is the entree which includes Escargot and meat, so you get meat,snail, and veggies at the same time. The seasonings for the escargot is tasty not the plain and the meat is well-cooked.


Baked hawaii, caramelized pineapple ice cream, vanilla chiffon 10

My favorite meal would be the dessert. This dessert is different than other resturant due to it's something fruity or chocolaty all the time. These pineapple flavoring is something that you want to look forward after eating few meals that is flavorful. Moreover, the taste of caramel would be the sweet side of these fruitful desserts.




Beef Tongue Steam Bun  12.50

This is EN RESTAURANT, a comfy Japanese Restaurant located in Santa Clara, California. Thalia and I went to this restaurant two years ago when we were still in the same community college. We went with several friends and tried some food. Here are the foods that we tried:
