Food review!
Here goes another one! HOORAH! This time I'll be reviewing Cacaote.
Cacaote was one of the recently opened cafes in the Senopati area. It has been opened for a while but I only get to visit recently. And the last time I called, you need reservations. Crazy. Okay, so the interior was just like what everyone says. It's really girly with pink, peach, white, brown tone all over. There are also chandeliers and curtains which made the room looked fancy. If they can maintain the hygiene and stuff, the place is pretty awesome.
On to the food!
I went there with my friends so, as usual, we ordered a few cakes and tried them all. Hey, we college students save money you know.
We ordered 3 items. On the left, you can see my pick Dark Chocolate & Hazelnut. On the top was the Fruit Tart. And on the right was the Salted Caramel Eclair. The taste? ALL DELISH
First! The Dark Chocolate & Hazelnut. It was definitely one of the best cakes I have ever tasted. The dark chocolate mouse is just delish and to top it off, they had crunchy bits on the bottom and it just made everything perfect. I can barely taste the hazelnut though, but it doesn't matter because I didn't really like hazelnut in the first place. This costs 40k. Oh and they charge you for 10% service and 10% charge. So in total this cake will cost around 50k. I wish the size is bigger...
Second! The Fruit Tart! I have always loved fruit tarts. They are just refreshing and sweet at the same time. And the one in Cacaote is definitely one of the best. Although the size is a bit small...the one I use to order at Sultan Hotel's bakery was bigger. It was more satisfying. But Cacaote's was not bad either. The custard's sweetness is just right. The crust is crunchy and not too hard. And the fruits were fresh and sweet. Not bad. The Fruit Tart costs 36k.
And last but not least, the Salted Caramel Eclair. Cacaote definitely have a wide range of eclairs. Heard it's one of their specialties. This eclair though, is sweet and salty at the same time. Of course, the name pretty much is self explanatory, but the choux itself was great. It has the perfect texture and OMG how I wish I could order more. But by the time we finished our cakes, we were full. HAHA. So next time. This eclair costs 43k-ish.
Overall, I am really quite satisfied with my visit to Cacaote. The cakes were delicious and I really want to make a second visit. I can see why so many people likes this place. They do have nice pastries and it's a perfect place for tea time. I also took a peek at the kitchen. There is actually a window where you can see the kitchen. Hey! The pastry chef is probably around my age! She looked young. The kitchen was clean so I'm relieved. They also accepts large cakes orders; however, the cake must be ordered 3 days prior. Oh I didn't get to try the macarons...all photo credits goes to my dear friend C.
Well that would be it from me today. I realized that I haven't been really active in updating this blog if I'm not on a holiday. I will try to be more faithful and update more often then...Thank you for reading and I'll see you on my next post! Stay healthy everyone, and have a merry Christmas!!
Sincerely yours,
