Seed

You might now picture a greenhouse-alike cafe, or garden-concept one as you heard the word ‘SEED’. Well, I wouldn’t deny that same thing happened to me at the first place. However, the real place turned out telling different story. 

Taking place at the well-known Plaza Kemang, I bet it’s super easy to find the spot. Ohhh, feeling like the good old days, spending the slow weekend at Kemang, enjoying awesome brunch and having coffee rally, jumping from one cafe to another one till late. Nowadays it’s just felt kinda far away from home and I needed reap the leftover energy. But yeahhh, there I was, being back to get myself indulged!

As usual, I still haven’t gotten bored of clean white interior, up till this second. It just seemed to offer the ultimate peaceful ambiance that let your mind get recharged. Hence, though the space wasn’t that gigantic, it’s a comfy one for me to spend long hours. 

Iced Lemon Sorbet Tea (IDR 50k)

Opting for freezing one as I felt like melting in the midst of this hot capital city, this peculiar one got me hitched. Well, I guessed you knew what I meant when you read the drink’s name. The picture did tell you that the name literally described what it featured. Lemon sorbet dipped into ice tea, which for me was interesting idea to transform the simple ice lemon tea into more inventive presentation. If you wondered how it tasted, I would be blunt to say it’s just similar to general ice lemon tea, so indeed the concept and the appearance sold itself best. 

Hot Honey and Lemon (IDR 35k)

If you belonged to the ‘hot gang’, you did have the quite uncommon option. Not meant to say it’s not familiar, just that you wouldn’t easily meet it in every place like either ice tea or ice coffee. As expected, it was like comfort drink you could go for, especially if you’re demanding natural sweetness. 

Creamy Truffled Carbonara (IDR 110k)

Hold on fellas... don’t get emotional with the picture! I did drool again when posting this picture, imagining my ‘first meeting’ with the dish. As much as I loved truffle and creamy carbonara, that pretty much described my engagement toward the dish. It surely had me blown away with its hypnotizing truffle scent. When the appearance was undeniably irresistible, the taste wasn’t less addictive! Though I wished the spaghetti could be cooked slightly longer to make it become al dente, the creamy sauce was so rich and flavorful, and the truffle mushrooms as well as bacon bits turned it into perfection. Though it might look a bit pricey, the generous toppings made it worth the pennies paid. 

Miko’s Lava Ube (IDR 60k)

A fan of lava cake? If you just nodded your head, my next question would be how many flavors of it have you ever had? If it’s just chocolate, you might wanna ‘catch-up’ guys ;). For you who said you’ve had more than one flavor, perhaps your other one would be either green tea, vanilla, or white chocolate. How about ube? YES UBE, that purple yam, which some people commonly called as either taro or sweet potato. If you’re first timer looking at such dish, you’re not alone as so did I. Being a fan of molten lava cake, for sure I was so curious to try this version. Beautifully presented in the peculiar purple color, besides containing the runny ube filling, it was also accompanied by yummy vodka sauce. As the filling was thicker, the thinner sauce came as perfect balancer to it. The main cake was scrumptious, being served at flawlessly fluffy texture. The ube crumbs added extra excitement into the game, bringing more variety into the palatable dessert. 

All in all, I was totally spoiled customer in my premiere visit to Seed. The foods especially were highly recommended to try! I could even picture myself already, coming back for exactly the same combo of main course and dessert <3
