    La Zucre Cake Boutique – Winter Park, FL

    Thank you to my sister-in-law and former coworker, Iris Cerella, for recommending La Zucre Cake Boutique, located in Winter Park.

    I stopped in to see what types of baked goods they had to offer.

    Inside the shop, it was very clean and quaint. I could see them holding a tea party here.

     

    They have an open kitchen setup so you can watch their process.

    They have freshly made cupcakes.

    Thanks to Luis, I was able to try one of their cupcakes. It was really delicious!

    I got to speak with the owner and Luis. Both of them are super awesome and friendly. I had a great experience with them. They were extremely helpful and provided wonderful feedback.

    Their prices are reasonable and the quality is amazing!

    I ordered a cake from them for my wife’s baby shower and couldn’t be happier with what they came up with.

    The details and design were exactly what we were looking for, not to mention, it tasted so good!

    I highly recommend La Zucre Cake Boutique for your next party. Be sure to check out all their yummy treats on their IG: @lazucre.

  • Matcha Cafe – Surabaya, Indonesia

    Matcha Cafe – Surabaya, Indonesia

    After a busy day with the university event, I asked Budi to take me somewhere that served matcha.

    Dewi, another friend of mine, mentioned that her cousin run a matcha resturant and that everything there was matcha!

    On the outside, you can see the nicely designed sign with a green color theme.

    Hello matcha panda!

    Inside, there was a really cool mural that looked like it was hand-painted.

    The menu design was well done. I loved the calligraphy.

    The matcha looked like great quality and their presentation was awesome.

    They have traditional Japanese green tea served with auzki and shiratma.

    Dewi’s cousin showed us the traditional Japanese green tea.

    We ordered their signature ice cream parfait.

    Squid Okonomiyaki

    Grilled cheese sandwich

    Chicken Karaage

    Iced fruit green tea

    The matcha soft serve was great quality!

    The quality of the matcha was authentic so if you love matcha, this place is totally for you.

  • Dream Of Kahyangan Art Resto – Indonesia

    Dream Of Kahyangan Art Resto – Indonesia

    Thank you to the Universitas Ciputra staff and faculty for inviting us to a lunch meeting.

    The restaurant we ate at had a unique ambiance and installation.

    The food was a fusion of Chinese and Javanese, along with Indonesian cuisine.

    The menu was in Bahasa so I couldn’t recall everything we ordered but I do remember that everything was delicious. Check it out if you’re ever in Indonesia.

  • Monopole Coffee Lab – Surabaya, Indonesia

    Monopole Coffee Lab – Surabaya, Indonesia

    On one morning, in Surabaya, Budi took us to a local coffee shop. Indonesia is famous for producing and brewing their own coffee.

    I couldn’t wait to check out Monopole Coffee Lab.

    The interior was very industrial.

    The wall art and decorations show the coffee-making process.

    You can see this amazing looking coffee drip machine.

    The staff is friendly.

    The Taro Latte caught my eye on the menu, right away. The flavor was delicious! I highly recommend ordering this for anyone who is a huge fan of taro or ube.

    A cold drip order for my friend, Natasha. This was also my first time watching her blog about her coffee experience for her followers.

    Natasha shared some of her photo tips with me so it was great to learn from her.

    She took some awesome photos for me too!

    Monopole Coffee Lab is such a nice place to start the morning and they have several different locations. If you’re ever in Surabaya, come check this spot out.

    Foodfest at Pakuwon City – Surabaya, Indonesia

    I think my stomach was already full but Budi took me on a non-stop food adventure.

    We checked out a local night market.

    I saw one vendor that was selling fresh coconuts for $0.25 USD!

    So affordable, fresh, and bigger than my face!

    We also ordered the mango sticky rice.

     

    If you want to try the best local food, make sure to check out their local night market. You won’t be disappointed!

  • Resto Park Cafe – Surabaya, Indonesia

    Resto Park Cafe – Surabaya, Indonesia

    Thank you to Budi for picking us up from the airport. He told me he was preparing a food list for me so I couldn’t wait for this adventure in food.

    We ended up trying a place called Resto Park Cafe.

    For every meal served here, they give you a new set of utensils.

    In Indonesian food, rice is the main dish.

    Bubur Madura is a sweet dish made of rice flour and drizzled with melted palm sugar. It can also be found as street food.

    Pangsit mie ujung pandang is dried noodle with red pork, Char Siu style, with chicken meat.

    Semanggi Surabaya

    Rujak cingur (cow nose) is one of the traditional foods from the area of East Java. It has slices of boiled beef mixed into the dish.

    We ordered the cow nose with fish chips.

    Es Kancang ijo is very similar to shaved ice but in Indonesia, this sweet dessert is made from mung bean porridge with coconut milk and palm sugar or cane sugar. The beans are boiled till soft and include sugar and coconut milk.

    All the dishes were great. I’ll definitely be back.
