Pan-Ya

A Japanese bakery house, with few creations seen no where else.

Madeleine

Sweet, crispy and buttery madeleine.

Gion Rp 100.000/ US$12

(shown in photo is half of the loaf)

Gion, white bread made with best quality buttermilk is claimed by the shopkeeper as pan-ya's signature bread. It's only available at senayan city branch, and probably a few other branches.. It doesn't taste that strong, but the texture of the bread is really soft, and it can be just eaten plainly and still taste nice.

Red Bean Bread

This uniquely shaped bread is so full of red bean paste. The outer bread layer is so thin that it gives you a nice feeling when you bite directly into the sweet bean paste.

Bakmi GM

Standing since the 19th century, Bakmi GM has always been known for its speciality fried wontons, noodles, and other Indonesian as well as Chinese Foods.

Fried Rice (Rp23.000/US$2.5)

The fried rice is in large portion, but you can manage to finish it if came here hungry. They are generous in the meat and prawns. 

Fried Wontons (Rp10.000/US$1.1)

The wontons here are really yummy, it is crispy because the flour batter is mixed with butter. The meat inside is also mostly chicken meat instead of more flour and less meat. The sweet and sour dipping sauce makes a perfect companion.

Ice Lemon Tea (Rp7.000/US$0.8)

The Lime Tea here is so refreshing. I bet it's freshly made instead of from sachets.

Comebuy

A drink stall specializing in bubble tea from Taiwan.

 

Mango Smoothies Rp21.000 (US$2.3)

The mango smoothies is so cold  I had a brainfreeze. It was really loaded with ice, but you would be able to find a lot of liquid as well. It is really sweet and refreshing.

I ever had bubble milk tea here before, and it was also nice, but the flavor is not that strong as what I expected.

The drinks here came in large sizes, but you can have regular size with a cut off in price (Rp 3.000/ US$0.4). The toppings here are more or less the same like it is in any other bubble tea store-- grass jelly, bubble, etc.. I was quite disappointed because my favorite topping, egg pudding was sold out last time I went there.

Mr. Puff

Polo Puff with Vanilla Cream Rp 8.500 (US$0.9)

After considering for a moment, I chose the puff with the usual cream and not ice-cream, as those in the etalase looks better than those in the small fridge. I chose Polo puff instead of the plain one, because the shopkeeper told me that polo is sweeter, but still it was not that sweet anyway. The cream was not that sweet neither. As this dessert is not that sweet, you can have more than one at a time.

It's available in ice cream puffs at the same price, and with more flavors to choose from too.

Pan n Barell

This modern style restaurant in PIK, Jakarta served mainly western foods. It has a very comfortable interior with some sofas. Really made a nice place to hang out.

Chocolate Waffle

The waffle is small in portion, but it's a good thing so that you don't get bored eating the whole thing up. 

Hong Kong Street Snacks

If you happened to wander around the crowded night market of Hong Kong, why not try the snacks there. Hong Kong foods are savory or flavorful I would say, but it's really worth the try. I tried Fried Kuo Tie (Gyoza), and although the presentation of the food is not that gorgeous, the taste really suits me. It's got lots of garlic and chopped chives.

Fried Kuo Tie-- Pork with chives deep fried in dumpling wrappings

Kit Kat

Kit Kat Mont Blanc

Never seen this in my hometown or any other places before. Got this from a supermarket in Singapore. The Kit Kats inside is like just two-third the size of a usual Kit Kat. What an elegant dessert I would say..
