Hello
I am in search of a new blog layout. Please if there are any recommendations of websites, feel free to comment below. Thank you in advance ;)
Good day beautiful people! Today I shall write another food review. My last food review was on Colette and Lola which was at that time quite famous and stuff. Now it's basically just another bakery around the corner....Jakarta is flooded by new cafes and bakeries. And it's coming fast!
Recent trends are nitrogen made ice cream and online bakery stores; however, today I would like to blog about,
PANNA COTTA. Yes, the sweet gelatin dessert that just melts in your mouth.
Panna Cotta Etc
It is a local brand that actually starts as an online store. Each panna cotta is made to order. It has been selling for a few years and now they finally opened a store in Pacific Place. It's located right across Canteen(Ak sa ra) near Starbucks.
The store itself was not that big but hey, I'm here for the food so let's just put that topic aside. Hehe.
Soooooo, LE FOOD.
The menu consist of, of course, Panna Cotta with so many different flavors to choose from. I might have just stood there for 5 minutes, pondering over which one should I order. They also have sandwiches, tea, and cookies. BUT I CAME FOR THE PANNA COTTA, therefore I just ordered panna cotta. :D

As you could possibly inferred, I didn't sit in a place with that much lighting, alas the photo is crappy. I tried editing it. Turned out like that.
A friend of mine recommended Baileys so I ordered that one. And I also ordered Butterscotch and Mix Berries. It's the TOP 3 MOST RECOMMENDED according to the person in charge. Baileys was the best! I simply just L.O.V.E it. It has a hint of rum in it and tastes just like Le Gourmet's pudding's sauce. It's just superb. Mix Berries is basically mixed berries sauce where you can taste the sweet and sour of raspberries and blackberries. And Butterscotch is like caramel, creamy-creamy caramel. Imagine Alpenliebe's candy made into sauce. Yeap THAT.
The panna cotta tastes like panna cotta. REAL panna cotta. Some restaurants actually serves pudding-like substance and call the panna cotta. But this one is not pudding trust me.
I will definitely come back to try other flavors! Right now, this is one of my favorite dessert store in Jakarta, other than the occasional Haagen Dazz or Dairy Queen. NO ONE can resist ice cream. Oh and did I mentioned that Mc Donalds has delicious green tea McFlurry now?? Well THEY DO.
Oh, and I almost forgot. The price for each panna cotta is 30k rupiah. I kind of think that it's a bit expensive considering the size...but then again, if you eat more than one portion, you might get a lil bit umm....full. It is creamy. Oh, and I also realized there was this avocado panna cotta that you can only eat there and it costs 35k. I think it's the one with the coffee.
That's it for today and thank you for reading!
Oh and don't forget to eat healthily! It's flu season here in Jakarta.

I promised I'll make an update on this right? Teehee. Well I did came back with my two other friends. This time I tried the Delight, which was tiramisu panna cotta with espresso sauce, and Sensation, which was cheese panna cotta with raspberry sauce. My other friend ordered butterscotch.
Delight was okay. I can't say I really like it. The sauce has a hint of coffee in it, but not that strong. If you were to compare it to Haagen Dazz's coffee, Haagen Dazz wins. Now Sensation, was really a sensation. The cheese panna cotta was superb and you can clearly taste the cheese in it. The raspberry sauce was like any other raspberry sauce, but when it's eaten with the panna cotta, it really does taste unique but nice. I somehow liked that cheese panna cotta.
New photoes will be updated soon. A friend of mine took some but she haven't send it to me so HAHA. Oh and I ordered one Baileys panna cotta for take away and I have to say...if you ordered one for take away, they will give it to you in a white paper bag, and really, after 1 hour and 30 minutes in the car in the midst of Jakarta's epic traffic, the panna cotta melted. Like literally melted. I had to put it in the fridge first before it became solid again. I think they should consider giving ice pack or something. I did pay quite a lot for one small panna cotta. So, that is expected.
When my friends and I arrived there, there was no line at all and we were truly grateful, because 30 minutes later, there was a long line, up until the bridge in front of Starbucks. I am amazed. Good to see that the business is doing well.
