Moon Gypsy

Café ini tidak terlalu spacious, interiornya modern dan simple. Terbagi area semi outdoor dan indoor yang nyaman. Pilihan menu dan pastrienya tidak terlalu banyak tapi menarik apalagi kalau lihat menu all day brunchnya. Di sini konsepnya semi open kitchen, jadi bisa lihat proses pembuatan pastriesnya di balik ruangan kaca. Baru tau juga dari keponakan saya kalau cafe ini juga pet friendly loh. Buka dari jam 7 pagi, jadi bisa banget untuk breakfast atau brunch di sini. Saya order :
*Twice baked almond (45k++) – croissant dengan topping almond dan filling almond paste. Croissant ini flaky, crisp, dan buttery. Topping almondnya generous berjejer dengan rapi. Dan fillingnya almond pastenya juga gurih dan manisnya terasa pas.

*Triple Mushrooms (42k++) – croissant berbentuk bulat dengan topping shimeji mushroom, untuk varian mushroom lainnya ga sempat tanya. Ada campuran truffle oilnya juga dan diberi topping microgreens. Enak dan recommended.

*Valhrona hot chocolate (50k++) – tidak terlalu creamy, cenderung water tapi taste chocolatenya rich. Enak juga.

*Cappucino (42k++) – tampil dengan latte art yang cantik, ga terlalu milky atau creamy cenderung encer. Terasa enak dengan perpaduan taste fruity dan chocolatey, dengan fruity taste yang sedikit lebih dominan.

Penasaran banget dengan menu2 Brunchnya. Pasti akan kembali lagi ke sini. Recommended.

Newly opened brunch/pastry shop in South Jakarta (it’s located where paopao used to be). Their brunch menu looked quite reminiscent of Aussie brunch, which is something that I’ve been missing since the pandemic🥲.

Ricotta Hot Cake (90k) 7.5/10
Reminded me so much of Melb’s Top Paddock Hotcake. Hotccake was fluffy, tender, and moist without being too sweet. Portion was huge (perfect for sharing) with generous amount of toppings. The cream on top was also light and airy (not eneg).

Chicken Nanban Omurice (90k) 8/10
Hearty comfort food in a bowl. My friend swore that she could finish 2 bowls of this on her own 🤣. Lowkey didn’t expect much out of Asian food from cafe, but all the elements were cooked incredibly well. Fluffy omelette, perfectly battered and deep fried chicken, fluffy rice, and yummy nanban sauce.

Honey Sea Salt (32k) 7.5/10
Their croissants were definitely on the firmer side (not airy like some croissants can be). Texture wise, it’s one of the better croissant in town, you can really see all the layers beautifully folded together when you cut into the pastry. Love the subtle sweetness of honey mixed with the sea salt flakes. However, I would say that the croissant I tried was not as crispy as some other joint in town (maybe they need to reheat it longer?). Still, I am looking forward to trying their strawberry pistachio flavour next time.

Galbi Benedict (165k) 8.5/10
Tender sweet braised beef ribs with poached egg, topped by creamy hollandaise sauce with a base of crunchy kouign amann😋. Kimchi was quite acidic but help to cut through the richness, would prefer spicier kimchi but that’s just personal preference. I think the wonton crisps were unnecessary tbh since the kouign amann provided enough crunchy texture already.

Crab Scrambled (120k) 7.5/10
Silky and creamy scramble, not overly rich or buttery though. Generous crab meat but I did not feel like they were super fresh (it’s not fishy though so it’s ok). Scramble had a somewhat ‘wet’ texture so part of the croissant got mushy. My favourite part was actually eating the toasted croissant dipped with the spicy mayo.
