Food Travel: Too Too Moo

Hello everyone,

sorry for my long absence! >w<

Few weeks ago, I got a chance travelling to Surabaya with my siblings. It was my first time travel to another city without my parents. LOL. 

We have lots of fun there~

First destination after we reach our hotel, we went to a dessert cafe named, 

Too Too Moo.

They have various desserts and some beverages. Too bad I don't have the courage to take picture for all cakes they display, because I was too shy >////< *slapped*.

The interior is really cozy. It feels like home for me <3

They also have television on the front cafe. You can play, talk, and relax in this place.

 Here's some desserts that we order

 1st dessert: Chocolate Tart (with marshmallow below the chocolate ganache and rhum)

Basically the taste is rich and fun, since they use marshmallow. However, you can feel very full after eating half of this tart. I also can't really taste the rhum when trying this tart, I think they have to put more rhum to the cake (*note: personally, I love the smell and taste of rhum). 

2nd dessert: Mango mouse (with sliced sponge cake)

This mouse is my choice and I didn't regret to order this XD I don't usually eat whole cake/desserts (I only take some bites), but for this one I can finish it by myself. LOL.

When usually you can feel very full when eating a cake, the 'sweetness' from mango in this cake won't make you 'feel sick' easily. Definitely a perfect combination for this cake!

                   
                                                                           
3rd & 4th dessert: Dark Chocolate ganache cake and raspberry macaroon

First of all, sorry I don't really remember the exact name of the last dish, but if I'm not mistaken, those are the names. The chocolate ganache is really yummy, eventhough chocolate have rich flavour, but when eating the cake, it doesn't make me full easily (I think it's from the bitter taste from dark chocolate). The chocolate sponge feels very soft and fluffy too~
As for the macaroon, I really love how it taste! The texture is soft eventhough the outer part is kinda hard. Also, it's not very sweet like other macaroon usually are.


Overall, I love the cakes in here, since the sweet level is perfect (not too sweet) and the price is reasonable too (the range is about IDR 20,000 - IDR 50,000, but most cakes are IDR 30,000).

If you visit Surabaya, maybe you can drop by this place! :)

Melbourne Part 2 - Foods & Haul

Hello everyone!
So, this is the part 2 story of my holiday trip to melbourne.

To be honest, I have to admit that the unforgetable moment of Melbourne were the foods~ LOL xD

There are so many healthy and delicious foods, which made me so happy about it. There were some restaurant that I visit and here's the list:

<3 Yo-Chi, a famous yogurt store in melbourne. I can't resist to say, it's one of the best yogurt I've had.

 <3 Villa Romana, an italian restaurant in the city. So many people gather and ate foods in that place. *Warning: For me, the portion is big xD which I think it's better to share 1 main food for 2 people ~

<3 Yering Restaurant (I forget the real name, but there's only 1 restaurant at Yering winery). The presentation of the food is really pretty, they used a real flower and some leafs to decorate it. And the food is super delicious too~ xD

<3 Subway, a healthy sandwich which I really love. I ate 3 times at subway for my lunch because I really love bread with salad and the price is super reasonable.

<3 Nando's. Popular by it's grilled chicken. I think the great point in the chicken is the seasoning that they used and how they marinated the chicken.

<3 Sofia. The fun thing to eat in this restaurant is because of the SUPER BIG portion! I never find such a super big portion in my life. LOL. The taste of food was okay, while the price is reasonable if considered the quantity of the food ~ xD

Actually I don't shop much in melbourne, because I have a very limited time. But, here's some things that I bought there~

It's cute isn't it? <3 (Brand: Dotti)

A cute T-shirt~ (Brand: Ginger tea)

Last, I bought some healthy snacks from various groceries. The cereals were from coles and the nuts & apricots from Nix nut groceries.

*If you wanted to buy lots of nuts or ingredients for making a cake, try to visit Nix nut groceries, because I found the price is +/- half of the supermarket price (ex: coles, woolsworth,etc)

Yeah, I know that I bought so many. But, the price at there are much more cheaper than buying it in Indonesia, also they have more variation for the healthy foods. So why not buy more? LOL.

Maybe I can open a healthy store right now at my home :P *just kidding* xDD

Actually, I really hope subway will be open in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta. I don't know why, but I never get bored to eat subway when I visit another country which has Subway store :P

Alright, thanks for reading guys. Have a great day <3

Melbourne Part 1 - Trip to Bendigo

It was really interesting to spent my easter holiday on Melbourne. I have some relatives and friends at there, so I always have many activities and never feel bored xD

The most beautiful place that I visited was Bendigo, I found many pretty flowers and trees. The park was great too, and of course it's because the government took a good care of it. Also, there's a lake with lots of ducks. At that time I saw some people lays on the grass while looking at the beautiful sky or doing some exercise.

Before arrived at Bendigo, I stopped at a park (sorry I didn't remember the name) to have a picnic with my relatives and ate a sandwich <3 <3

So, here's some good view on the park~

At last! After so many hours we spent to reach Bendigo, finally we arrived! YEAYY xD

and it's worth it, I saw so many nice views which shows beauty of the nature. 

Look at the sky, it's beautiful isn't it? (*Notice: I didn't photoshopped anything on the picture above)

I found an interesting tree at the car park, maybe one day I should paint this kind of tree, it will be awesome! xD 

Actually, there's a Chinese Museum in here, but we (me & my family) didn't really like to see the antique items, so we decided to search another interesting place <3

Well, at last we went to Grill'd. It's a place where you can eat burger without feeling guilty (because it's more healthier than an ordinary burger)

Let's continue the journey! :D When we decided to went home, there's a lake with so many ducks which is caught our interest xD At last, we stopped here and spent an hours to saw the nice view. But after 10 minutes, I decided to take a walk and doing some exercises with my brother.

When the sky starting to get dark, we decided to go home.

And it took a long time until we reach our service apartment. But, I didn't really care because I slept all the time in the car. LOL.

Done with the story of my Bendigo Trip! xD

Next, I will continue to tell you the other things that I do and what I buy there. 

You'll see some cute things and some "Must visit Places!" :)

Thanks for reading my post, good bye and wish me luck for my National Exam this week x3

Taiwan (Taipei) Trip

Hello again to all of you :D

It's a little bit late for me to tell my trip to taipei, because I went there on mid November..

Actually it's the 3rd time I've spent my holiday there and of course, it's lots of fun to have a holiday there xD

First of all, Taiwan is actually has many things to enjoy. I love the foods, places, and the important one --> SHOPPING xD xD It's really cheap to buy things and of course you can find many cute things too :P

Compared to china, the people were more friendly (in my opinion) and oftenly I don't need to bargain the price because they already have fixed price.

If you like japanese fashion, you can find many things with japanese style at Taiwan. At the sogo, they have many japan brands that you can find. Other than that, if you want to find cheaper things you can go to some places like Taipei City mall and shops around zhong xiao Sogo store.

(Street Snaps around Zhong Xiao Sogo)

(Big size of Crocs shoes xP)

For the 3 trips I spent on my holiday, I always stayed at i taipei service apartment. It connected to Q square and taipei city mall. Also, it's really easy to find public transportation such as train or taxi.

In Q square, at the women fashion department there are lots of things that caught my attention and of course it made me want to bought it. But when I see the price, again I need to think about it xP LOL.

And after go to some shops I found liz lisa store! So the temptation began there ;;w;; I also found tralala store which sells gyaru and harajuku stuffs. There're so many cute and cool things, but the price is not really friendly :X

Too bad I can't get the photo of liz lisa shop because the lightning isn't really good, so I only took some pictures on tralala shop. Here are the photos:

And some food's photos that I found:

 (Yamazaki Bread ;;w;; )

 (Lots of cheese :O )

 (Dinner with my family)

Another cute and unique things that I found, the heart and bunny plants xD

For your information, for those who loves anime, manga, or something like that (people call it otaku) . You will be very happy when visiting Taipei city mall. There, you can find figurines, comics, magazine, and toys with cheap and affordable price (if compared in Indonesia). From what I know, there's also a maid cafe and butler cafe, but I can't go to that place because I went together with my family :3

In winter, I found many cute and pretty things in Taipei city mall compared to summer season. Too bad, because I only 4 days in November trip, so I can't really buy many things.

But, here are the photos of my haul :

 (Same model, but I bought 3 different colors for these shoes)

(Kate Spade bag <3 Totally in love with this bag xD)

As a conclusion, I recommend you to go to Taiwan, especially Taipei <3 And to be honest, in my travel wish I put Taiwan as the 2nd number after Japan. Because I never once go to Japan T^T 

See you on my next post~ :D
