Shirokuma

ice creamnya agak cair jadinya pas di makan ga soft gitu, cair banget. rasa ice creamnya sih lumayan tp kata tmn g kurang manis, selera kali ya. tempatnya enak buat nongkrong dan pelayannya sigap, berdiri deket kita dan kalo butuh apa2 langsung di bantuin.

Green Tea has become one of top flavor that we could find in many kind of dishes. Cake, Cookies, Yoghurt, Drinks, Pancake and don't forget an Ice Cream. One famous dessert spot in Jakarta is Shirokuma. From the name, we can assume it's Japanese theme, and it is!

Shirokuma has been opened several branch in town. First was at Pantai Indah Kapuk area, but now they are available at few malls. Last time i tried was at Grand Indonesia Mall. Usually after work, went out with friends is such a good moment. Hanging out together, sharing our life burden :-D. So we took place at Shirokuma, rememberin they have great desserts.

As the name Shirokuma means White Bear. And it is using cute white bear as an brand icon. From concept, they are trying to put Japanese cuteness theme by using bright soft colors. Don't forget, the cuteness also appears on their dessert dishes. Mostly they are offering Green tea flavor as the main and raftly the menu are desserts. But they also got some meals, a hotdog in variant taste.

At that evening, it was quiet crowded since it's friday night. So here some menus we were order.

This one is called Tasting Plate, it's offering Matcha ICe Cream mixed with vanilla, Matcha cake and tiny bowl of red bean soup with two mochi balls. Ice cream is taste good, kind of sweet as green tea flavor not really sweet in real. And Matcha cake is same taste as well, common sweet cake, but it does has good texture. Another is sweet red bean, i am not sure this is set of menu or been customized. But can say 3 dishes served on this set, all contains sweet taste.

Next is Matcha Cake Partfait.

This one is just like usually Parfait, but in Matcha flavor. As previously, the ice cream mixed between matcha and vanilla. And don't forget the matcha cake, also bunch of corn flakes poured at the bottom. The Kuma Candy Parfait. As the name, this dessert has beautiful sweet mixed colors among the green and white, matcha and vanilla ice cream, yellow star cereals based at the bottom and colorful marshmallow candies.

And last is Oreo Mochi Waffle. It's looks stunning, Warm Waffles, topped with matcha ice cream, stick by two chocolate pocky, poured with oreo powder, and beautifully served with red strawberry and oreo for last touch. among the others, this one could be bigger portion of dessert. Double waffles gave enough for half of belly, then quiet tall ice cream stand on it. Sure you would be satisfied for dessert tonight.

Desserts are good, For Green tea fans, i am not sure how to recommend this. It is Green tea flavor from it taste. But let say if you're prefer bitter green tea like real green tea taste, this would not be your favorite. For me, i do enjoyed this, ice cream is my favorite and green tea flavor can be first choice amongs other flavors.

Di sini pertama kalinya saya nyobain shirokuma, soalnya selama ini cuma tau doang shirokuma di PIK, tapi gak pernah kesampean buat ke sana karena jauh. Saya cobain Fruit Parfait Matcha Ice Cream. Matcha nya menurut saya agak manis, dan gak se-wow yang dikira.  Isi dalam parfaitnya banyak dan macem-macem, ada mangga, strawberry, corn flakes, mochi, dan kacang merah. Kacang merahnya menurut saya merusak rasa matcha nya. Akhirnya bagian bawah parfait yang banyak kacang merah gak diabisin, karena bikin ilang rasa matchanya. Untuk tempatnya di GI ini agak sempit, kalau rame kayaknya bakal gak nyaman. 

Akhirnya dessert yang satu ini buka juga di JakPus. Kali ini kita nyobain coffee parfait yang terdiri dari coffee jelly, mochi, coco crunch, coffee ice cream, caramel, dan pop corn. Coffee ice creamnya enak.. mereka pakai kopi dari Tanamera dan berasa banget kopinya juga gak terlalu manis. Gue suka banget padanannya sama coco crunch yang crunchy. Tapi topping lainnya kurang greget: Coffee jellynya biasa aja, rasa kopinya gak terlalu kuat. Mochinya agak keras dan popcornnya terasa melempem. Kita juga pesan mixed vanilla and macha ice cream yang smooth banget dan gak terlalu manis.

Pelayanan disini cepat dan ramah banget. Kita adalah last customer mereka malam itu tapi mereka tidak memburu-buru kita untuk meninggalkan tempat ini.

Nah jenis es ini hanya tersedia di shirokuma GI. kurang tau juga sih kenapa tapi mungkin biar ada daya tarik tersendiri.

Untuk rasa kopinya sih kerasa tapi gak nagih gitu. Enak tapi gak pengen makan lagi. Karena emang kurang spesial kali ya rasanya ya rasa kopi yang biasa aja.
