Welcome to another episode of Culinary Journal! The picture above really tells a big story, well if you follow my TWITTER or FACEBOOK you had a probability of acknowledging that my sister was having her 19th birthday yesterday :), she is like the best sister I've never asked for and I'm glad that I didn't even have to, she is such a gift and a marvelous secret keeper, even though sometimes some of mine got spilled out...humans.
So let's start the amazing adventure :).

Spent the weekend along with my lovely best friends, always the same team :). We went to Social House, yup, that restaurant with such a great ambience, but you can barely see anything because it's so 'light'.
BEST DRINK that I've tried for the whole week is this... NUTELLA MILKSHAKE, it's literally like drinking a Nutella jam, only lighter and more gorgeous. Look at those tempeting marshmallows! One thing that's such a great point is that they serve it freezing cold, like super super cold and it just adds the deliciousness over the top! Yeah I overrate this drink because this is beyond delicious.
IDR 55.000 nett.

Starbucks Central Park 1st fl.
Starbucks is proving to be the ultimate brand for coffee specialist and it's proven by the amount of stores they're having all around the world, its latest outlet is in Stasiun Gambir (Jakarta Pusat), got the invitation but I couldn't come to the event because I was abroad so I haven't seen the store for myself, but no worries, it's opening it's newest outlet now in Central Park 1st floor, it adds the number of Starbucks Outlet in Central Park, they already had two before, maybe different franchise owner.
This post is made to tell the good news to Starbucks lovers! Today as in March 21st 2013-March 22nd 2013 there will be a beneficial promotion! It's the buy one meal free one tall drink! I think it's a very lovely promotion and shall not be missed. I went to the store yesterday to check the venue, it might be the tiniest store but definitely not the least. It's located just beside Black Ball and accross Tous Les Jours.
Okay, I'm writing the promotions by list so you can remember it easier:
- 21st March 2013 - 22nd March 2013: BUY ONE MEAL GET ONE FREE TALL DRINK.
- now - June 2013: BUY ONE DRINK AND ONE DRINK FREE ONE DRINK. (by Voucher given by the barista, incase the barista forgot about it, don't be hesitate to ask for the promotion).
This is what the voucher looks like:
There is another promotion that's going to be running until March 26th 2013 but the Barista said that they're told to keep it secret until today so I also had no idea what the promotion's going to be, but promotions are mostly a nice deal so you guys better go check the promotion by visiting the outlet today and get your free drink for every meal purchased :).
If you have any questions, kindly leave them at the comment section below and I'll answer it :).
Now let's have a quick tour :).

Starbucks Triple Chocolate Cake.
Went to Starbucks Plaza Indonesia today to taste the gorgeous new cake/new product they're promoting, it's the TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE! (retailed for IDR 30.000). From the picture above, I know you guys are imagining the taste of the triple chocolate cake...So how was it?
I had the triple chocolate cake with a venti Iced Cappucinno, probably the best match, another drink recommendation: Caramel Macchiato or simply Iced Black Coffee.
Technically, from what I see, this cake has four layers, but maybe the name "triple chocolate cake" comes from the prime cream layers, the lowest layer is like a baked chocolate brownies with nuts. I noticed that Starbucks are using a lot of nuts for the cakes lately, from the Purple Yam Cake, Red Velvet Nut Roll, Peanut Butter Panini, but nut is a good thing, I have no problem eating a lot of nuts, well, there are controversies around the theory that eating too much nuts will cause you breakouts and then blemishes, I never experienced one before, let's leave it to the side and let the hormones decide (lol).
This cake is a yumster! I've been blessed with a lot of yum stuffs and this is obvioulsy one of the yummiest, I love the idea of using nuts as the topping, it make the cake aesthetically more beautiful instead of boring plain chocolate layer. According to the barista the toppest chocolate creme layer is made of dark chocolate, the middle: milk chocolate and the lowest: white chocolate. I tried to eat the cake little by little, layer by layer and I can't find strict difference from the dark and milk chocolate, obviously the white chocolate tastes the most different because it has the strongest milk taste.
I've been saying this for many times that texture are essentials in a dish for me because I love the different textures and flavors in my mouth, it makes the food much more interesting and the case of this dish: beautiful texture.
This is seriously not a good cake to be taken away from the freezer for maximum 2 hours because I've had the experience with the Nutella Cake from THIS POST, during the moment I took away the cake, the outlet in Grand Indonesia hasn't opened yet so the only Djournal available (nearest) is the one in SMS2 which is far and when I reach home and wanted to have it, all that I can do i was drowned in tears because the cake has turned into liquid.
Have a moment, go to the nearest Starbucks and have this for your own.
It's beautiful :).
