DESSERTS

Came here specifically for this cake, but didn’t taste as good as expected
The cake was too dry for my liking. The blueberry gelee in the middle didn’t have that intense blueberry I was expecting, the purple cream was nice in between, then it is coated with dense cream cheese frosting that is almost like a cheesecake on its own. Overall still somewhat enjoyable but I don’t think it was worth my anticipation.

The soft serve was nice, lavender and earl grey just nicely notable, the sweetness was also toned greatly.
The waffles are BOMB! Must get! They were freshly made so the inner part is just soooo soft, and the outer part nicely crunchy 🤤. SO GOOD!
Their ‘Make your own waffle’ set comes with
3 Toppings, I chose Dark Chocolate coated Honeycombs, Almond Thins, strawberries
I’m surprised by the generous amount of honeycombs given, and the same time I’m surprised of how few the strawberry is. It’s just a strawberry cut into 4 pieces haha. Might not be the most ‘worth it’ topping to get but I’d still get strawberries to sort of hydrate the mouth after the sweet stuffs.

Expensive, but ofc worth to have some time in a while. Lotsa shine muscat, the fruits are already nice on its own, lying on a tart with yuzu cream. Liked that the yuzu wasn’t intensely striking and the tart base was ofc nice as expected. If you’re a shine muscat lover like me, of course you won’t walk past Tarte without getting one!

Their pistachio gelato was delicious and comes in a generous portion! The pistachio is comparable to the best pistachio gelatos out there!

Impressed bc this is comparable to the ones i tried in the original matcha country: Japan! Also very impressed with the ambience, super tranquil, very recommended for a relaxing afternoon break.

Complete in both taste and texture, must try for chocolate lovers!
Crisp from the base, smooth velvety chocolate mousse, spongy genoise, luscious caramel, everything is very balanced in terms of flavors too, love the quite intense chocolate that goes well with the caramel. definitely one of the best modern chocolate cakes I’ve ever had!

Prepare to be dazzled by their pastry case as everything looks so pretty and you just can’t decide which to have.
Here are the two that I decided to try out (“Bananier” was sold out :( )
Fluffy consist of white chocolate mousse, strawberry cremeux, passionfruit jelly and almond genoise (sponge cake). The white chocolate mousse had real good smooth texture and wasn’t as sweet as expected (which is perfect!) however it is too monotonous on its own. The existence of the strawberry cremeux really leveled the cake up! Love how tart and delicious the cremeux was! The almond genoise also played a good role to add some texture without diminishing ‘fluffiness’ of the cake. Indeed the ‘fluffiest’ pastry I’ve ever had 🥰

While literal ‘Es Alpukat’ consist of Avocado Juice mixed with coffee and topped chocolate condensed milk, Union’s cake consist of avocado mousse and jelly layered in between coffee sponge cakes, with coffee biscuit bottom, glazed with avocado glaze and completed with coffee crumble.
Liked how the avocado flavor stands out in the mousse since I can still taste that lil-bitter avocado flavor. The coffee sponge has notable coffee flavor and the biscuit at the bottom still has that bitter coffee powder taste. The cake truly resembles ‘Es Alpukat’ and is a must try for es alpukat lovers!
Their chocolate pudding tasted nice especially the vla 😍. Vla had the right sweetness and when the cake & pudding is drenched in it, it just makes a really good dessert!
P.s. chocolate pudding is currently only available in Union Cafe Senayan City

Tried LOTS of their choux + entremets {last picture serves for proof HAHA I’ve had more than that too} but for now I’ll just discuss their newest creation, the Honey Matcha dessert jar. I decided to try it out because they ran out of apple crumble choux; my initial target, during my visit. {i’ll visit again for those next time and on that post I will also be more specific about their other creations}
The dessert jar is IMPRESSIVE. A lot of elements are incorporated in the jar, each having their own texture and flavor.
Honey jelly, matcha cremeux, matcha chiffon crumble, Valrhona Opalys white chocolate crumble, all plays distinct roles in creating the perfect taste of this whole dessert jar.
Crunchy then smooth, unsweet then sweet; the ‘play’ that this dessert jar creates is just genius!
Totally looking forward for more flavors in their dessert jar series!
Knew about this the first time from @eatandtreats but my review is 100% mine and YES HE’S RIGHT IT’S GOOD AND YOU SHOULD TRY IT 👌🏻❤️

❤️ the thing I found outstanding from Dopa Dopa is how they can balance the sweetness of their gelato(s). I sampled their coconut pandan flavor which I thought would be too sweet but, it’s just gently sweet!
I really recommend their pistachio gelato! So good!
p.s. they have croissants to go with your gelato which I am very curious to try out next time
ps @eatandtreats approved! 😉

Love the pistachio tart filling, the tart base, the pistachio chantily, caramelized pistachio, custard cream, whatever is in the tart are all magnificent. Furthermore,
the strawberries blend really well to the gently sweet pistachio elements! DELICIOUS! 🍰💕
a very very recommended, must try tart, even if you’re not a pistachio lover 👌🏻 take my word for it. {more posts of Pantler’s cakes coming up!}
