Moshi moshi! I
don’t know why but I feel this week pass so fast and yeay, it’s weekend again!
It seems like yesterday was still Monday and today’s already Saturday, which is
surely a great great thing :) (I’m
writing this with a very wide smile on my face). So what to try this
weekend? You needn’t wait for even a second this time because I will
immediately give you the answer, “Aranzi Aronzo”! I have been impatiently waiting
to try this new hip café in town. It seems like so many people have posted
about it and in these last five days, I could just wish that I was not stuck in
the office staring at those uber cute pictures. Woohoo! Finally here I am,
getting my turn to try it and make others envy :p
Aranzi Aronzo actually
started from Japanese-style crafts books, introduced by the company of Mrs.
Saito and Ms. Yomura. They have several adorable characters, including Panda, Kapa-chan,
Kappa, Usagi, Warumono, Usotsuki, Kuma, Saru, and many more!
As you could see,
this quite small venue is indeed so Kawaii!
It is mainly designed with blue color, and you can find so many pictures of the
cute characters decorating the whole café. The seats are not that many, but
they do provide several variations for the tables, including the cage-alike
ones and the kotatsu (Japanese low
table) ones. I thought the service was quite amusing, since not only the waiters
and waitresses were very friendly, but the one in charge for their social media
was also highly responsive.
Kappa’s Green Tea Mousse (IDR 55k)
First cake to try
was this Green Tea Mousse with Kappa face on it. As told by the waiter, this
was one of their best sellers so my sister decided to pick it. Actually, the
cake mainly consisted of three layers, which from top to bottom were the light
green tea mousse, the thick green tea mousse, and the green tea sponge cake. Between
the middle and the bottom layer, you could find Anko (sweet red bean paste). I really admired the presentation of
this cake, whilst I didn’t really enjoy the taste. As it actually belonged to
my sister, she was the one who should finish this huge cake. She said that
luckily it was not too sweet so she was still able to eat the whole portion.
Monkey’s Caramel Banana Mousse (IDR 65k)
Mine was Banana
Mousse with Saru-the-monkey’s face on it. I basically didn’t know from what
ingredients the face was made, but I loved its sweet flavor and it somehow
tasted like vanilla candy. Under the face you could find caramel sauce, inside
the mousse there were fresh Banana and berries, and the bottom part was chocolate
sponge cake. The taste was okay, but again the portion was too big to be
finished by a single person. Moreover, if I might suggest, instead of making the
cake in the form of mousse, I preferred it to be banana cheesecake :).
Kappa’s Japan Matcha Coffee (IDR 33k)
To be honest, I
did not really fancy this drink. The coffee was quite too acid for me (some
people might love acid coffee though), and I guessed the Matcha mixed in this
drink was the powder one because it was not too sweet. For you who loved bitter
coffee, this one might suit you. However, for a sweet enthusiast like me, a
shot of sweet Matcha syrup might make this drink better.
Shiro Usa’s Raspberry Coffee (IDR 38k)
This raspberry
coffee with super cute latte art was my sister’s. She enjoyed it as she said
that the raspberry flavor successfully delivered a refreshing touch into this
drink. She also found it unique as she had never found any similar drink before
in all coffee shops we have been to.
I personally
think that Aranzi Aronzo Café already have their own uniqueness, which is the
cuteness concept they offer, differentiating them from any other existing café.
However, in terms of taste, they might still need much improvement. More variations
of cake besides mousse and smaller portion could be taken into consideration,
since people do not always share their cake with others. Ganbatte Kudasai and Dōmo arigatōgozaimashita!
