DORE by LeTAO

I came by Dore on a Sunday afternoon for a quick bite while strolling around Plaza Indonesia. It is that cute little corner on the building's level 3, dominated with grayish white and gold color with a classy vibe, this small corner definitely will attract passerby's attention. And I found out that they have this different theme apllied in each outlet (Gallery in Plaza Indonesia, Colab in Plaza senayan, Corner in Kelapa Gading, etc.). There was only 3 or 4 seating in the outlet, so it's not the type of spot where you could have your fromage while chatting, social-laughing, and scrolling through your timeline with pals since people come and go in such a brief. For the most part, the limited seating has something to do with the idea of you being in their display as a mannequin to show people that walk by how classy their cakes are. And I must say that their fromage is a fancy take on cheesecake.

I ordered original fromage and chocolate fromage, and they both were really...exquisite. I like the original fromage best, you could see by the slice that the cake has two layers; the top layer is like the thick creamy part whereas the bottom layer is the cheese part with a more solid texture, also finished with a velvety surface. It taste slightly different from most cheesecake you might've had, the fromage was lighter in taste, fresh, creamy with a hint of milk and cheese, a slice would be an understatement.

Then we had the chocolate fromage, still in 2 layer format, only the base layer was a chocolate cheese base with velvety chocolate cake soft crumble. The chocolate tasted light and toned down with a sheer cheesiness, not being overwhelming is a great success in mixing milky cheese and chocolate.

The staff were nice and friendly, that made the overall experience a pleasure despite the limited seating. More visits on a less-crowded hours!
