Adriano Zumbo salted caramel macaron mix review

Macaron is a sweet temptation that makes everyone falling in love with their cuteness shape and also sweetness flavor. In order to success in making them, you should have tough personality, I'm saying this because this sweet tooth  is really hard to make. Well, even the pro bakers fail to make this at the first try. I failed it too by the way ( I'm a beginner LOL), but my will is stronger than the macaron texture !

So I've been trying to make macaron since I saw them for the first time. It's just like love at the first sight I guess. Last week I got a box of Adriano Zumbo macaron mix from Melbourne, and I was soooo happy to received that since I know Zumbo is one of the most popular macaron in Australia especially in Sydney. The recipe is kind a simple too, just add water and mix, voila it turn out well !

What's inside the box : 

 The packaging 

From left to right : Caramel filling, almond mixture, meringue mixture, 2 pcs of piping bag and a tracing ring

How to make : 

Add 62ml of water (temperature room), mix it

Consistency - lava like

After piping 

 Closed up 

Baking time 

Making the filling

Put it on piping bag

Finish !

1 box can make at least 30 shells or 15 macaron at least, but I made it in smaller shape so I could make like 50 - 55 shells or 25 pcs macaron. 

All you need to do just follow the instruction. Worth to try !!!

Bar B Q Plaza Indonesia

Hi everyone, it has been long time since the last post. Today topic is about food again =P

Do you remember that last month I wrote about BBQ Plaza and yuuuhuuu it has opened!

By the time I heard that the restaurant has opened, I went there with my boyfriend. People who used to study in Malaysia mostly are crazy about this food. No matter Indonesian, Malaysian or Singaporean they are, they just love this food because from what I can see from this restaurant, it always full of guests.

So we ordered supreme beef + pork set ( this isn't the largest size) and additional pork bacon. This set contains of  beef, pork, beef bacon, Australian beef, chicken, prawns, squids, noodle (not the fish noodle), corn, cabbage, and some beancurds.

 Free flow cabbage (if I'm not wrong) 

Review :
1. Taste                      : Thank God it is similar to the one in Malaysia !
2. Location                  : At Puri Indah Mal - Jakarta
3. Place/atmosphere      : Nice decoration and cozy
4. Price                       : More expensive compared to Malaysia one
5. Portion                    : Less if compared with Malaysia one
6. Service                    : Good

What I like :
* The taste of course !
* Sauce, garlic, chilly, and lime are all set up on your table, so you don't have to call the waiter several times just to refill everything
* The place is cozy

What I don't like :
* Expensive and it has less amount of ingredients =P
* They don't have something like privilege card ( for people like me definetely like something like that)
* No free refill for the tea
* They don't give you free rice as the complimentary ( In Malaysia does)

Based on the pro + cons..I'll definitely be back again hahahaha!
