BC's cone

This ice cream store doesn't stand out on the outside appearance. In fact, we never actually notice this place exist untill my kids ask for a dessert and we just stroll along the isle after have lunch from huang ji huang (review will be right after this).

On saturday afternoon, where the outside was at the peak temperature, an ice cream really seems to be a life savers at the moment.

So we went inside and after a long waiting list, we ordered a platter of ice cream cone consist of 6 flavor and random coloured waffle cone. All the cone doesnt have any flavor. So its all the same old plain cone taste.

The ice cream itself was a soft ice cream type, which melt quickly. The milk flavor is there, typically soft ice cream basic taste, but not as rich as like some other brand. Its just medium if i have to describe it.

Basically there is 6 flavor to choose from. So by having the platter at 55.000rupiah, we can try all the flavor such as:
1. Strawberry pink
2. Cream soda (greenish colour)
3. Taro (purple) (my favorite)
4. Vanilla
5. Greentea
6. Ovaltine (chocolate colour)

Taro is my favorite from all the option above, greentea on the other side was really a disappointment for me. I'm a big fan of anything about greentea, but for this, i dont like it at all.

Other option other than the ice cream cone on the menu is ice cream parfait which you can simply choose the ice cream and the topping. Its like a sundae with fabulous topping.

Then the others just some crush ice on the ice cream. Not much to choose on the menu.

Totally the taste is just ok. I'll rate it 3.5star out of 5.

Bakmi bintang gading

Try a new branch of Bakmi Bintang Gading in Puri area located at Pesanggrahan street across Chuan Tin restaurant this time.
Ordered Nasi Goreng Ujung Pandang (32.500 rupiah) which is the special menu you wont find at any other similar noodle restaurant.
The fried rice comes in red from the tomato sauce as the main ingredient which taste wonderful, far better than the way it looks. Can choose from lapchiong, chicken or seafood. I ordered the lapchiong one.
The special noodle here is the big noodle, but since big noodle never been my favorite so I order the bakmi halus (27.500 rupiah) which turn out just like the usual noodle. Taste good but not excellent. Can choose from chicken, pork or combine. This one here in the picture was the combine one.
While enjoying my meals the waiter serve a pot of hot-just-fried baso goreng. Looked irresistable, reach one, have a bite, not as good as it looks. Crunchy on the outside, moist at the inside, chewable, but the taste just abit plain to my taste.
The chilly sauce here to my surprise is far more hotter than other bakmi restaurant's chilly. So use it with caution, haha...
The restaurant is two story height, plenty of space and it has air conditioner, so pretty comfortable to enjoy your meals peacefully.

Marshmallow Fluff

Bought a jar of marshmallow fluff last week online at 89.000 rupiahs. Actually just bought this out of curiosity from some good review on the internet. Is this really that good?

First impressions after tear open the package box was, wow, its so light. The jar made of plastic, tear open the seal inside and the content just pop up like a sponge. Quickly dab a fingerfull to taste it. Sweet.... only sweet with some hint of vanilla. My kids so eagerly try it out and said, yummy....

Try to spread it on a toast. Easyly spread and glide through all the surface evenly. First bite, .... is it good? My answer is so so... nothing special from the taste. Just like eating liquidized marshmallow. On the other hand, my kids likes it a lot.

Would I repurchase? Nope.
Why? Too sweet for my standart.
Would I recommend to other? Yup.
Why? Its a nice change if you get bored of your pbnj or ovomaltine or other fruity jam.
