Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: UKI Matcha ECO8 Puri, Meruya Utara, West Jakarta, Indonesia.

UKI Matcha ECO8 Puri

UKI Matcha - ECO8 Puri
May 01, 2025 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Jakarta

After the opening of their flagship store in SCBD Park last March, UKI Matcha has established themselves as one of the best matcha bars in Jakarta. Just shy a year after the success of their first location, they have now opened the second location of UKI Matcha at ECO8 Puri. Although the store still carry the same aesthetics from its sister location, the selections of ceremonial matcha powders are different from the ones offered at the SCBD location. They also have a couple of menus that are exclusive to this location, giving patrons different experiences when visiting their stores.

Tried a couple of different things from their menu and overall they’re all pretty good, but here are some of my favorites (and I believe all these menus are only available at this location):

🍵 Pistachio Matcha (Tenka 104k / Asagiri 134k) | 9.5/10 

Tenka/Asagiri Matcha, Milk, Pistachio Foam, Crushed Pistachio

Their Pistachio Matcha is so good! Both matcha options are good but I prefer the Asagiri Matcha because it tasted nuttier than the Tenka Matcha that has a more bitter profile. This drink is super creamy and nutty and I love the Pistachio foam that’s sweet and salty at the same time. The crushed pistachio also gave a fun texture contrast to the drink. Ordered with normal sugar and it’s not sweet at all (all their matcha drinks are really not too sweet in general). If you’re a pistachio fan, definitely give this drink a try. Even if you’re not a pistachio fan like me (I’m kinda mid with pistachio flavored stuff) but you like a creamier drink I think you’d enjoy this one.

🍵 Mango Matcha (65k) | 8/10

Tenka Matcha, Milk, Real Mango Coulis

I honestly don’t know how you’re suppose to drink this one but in the beginning, I tried to sipped the drink as is with all the layers still stacked on top of each other. Depending on which part of the drink I sipped it from, it resulted in a variety of different flavors. First time, the end of my straw was on the bottom of the glass so the first flavor that I got was just the Mango Coulis which was a bit too sweet for me. Then I mixed the matcha and the milk together and tried sipping it from slightly above the Mango Coulis and on that sip I only tasted the matcha flavor with a teeny tiny hint of mango flavor. In the end, I did mix the whole thing together and it tasted more balanced. This drink’s slightly on the sweeter side (sweeter than the Pistachio Matcha) but the combination of mango and matcha actually works.

🍡 Warabi Mochi (65k / Whole Box 160k) | 10/10

Warabi Mochi, Tenka Matcha Honey

Hands down THE BEST Warabi Mochi I’ve had in Jakarta so far. The texture of this mochi reminded me of the ones I had in Japan. They really nailed it. The more bitter matcha honey also balanced out the sweetness of the mochi. Honestly, I can probably eat one whole portion of this alone without the honey cause the mochi is already that good.

My first visit to the ECO8 location was during their opening week and the place was packed. There was never-ending long lines at the counter of people who came in to get their matcha fix for dine-in as well as for to-go. The long queue seems to be still going on during the weekends too these days judging by the Instagram stories they uploaded. So be prepared to wait for tables or for your orders if you’re planning to visit on the weekends. The second time I went was during a weekday around lunch time. This time, the place wasn’t too packed and the atmosphere’s actually pretty enjoyable. So if you want to avoid the crowd, visiting on a weekday is probably your best bet. If you’re looking for a great matcha bar in Meruya/Puri/West Jakarta area, definitely check this place out.

Greysuitcase Seoul Cafe Series: Rain Report Croissant (레인리포트 크루아상), Seongsu-dong (성수동), Seoul, South Korea.

Rain Report Croissant • 레인리포트 크루아상

레인리포트 크루아상
March 23, 2025 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Following the success of their first flagship store in Gyeongnidan (경리당길), Rain Report opened their second location in Seongsu-dong (성수동), an up and coming neighborhood in Seoul that’s has been rising in popularity among the locals as well as tourists these past couple of years. Keeping the same rain-themed concept, Rain Report Croissant (레인리포트 크루아상) gives patrons similar experience they would find at the flagship location but with a slightly different menu selections. Instead offering the same baked goods and cakes that are available at their other location, here you’ll find an array of delicious croissants in all shapes, flavors and colors just like the name of this cafe suggest.

Apart from the croissants, everything else is pretty much what you would find if you’ve visited the other Rain Report location—a cool cafe with impressive interior and branding that offers a variety of good coffee, drinks, and pastries accompanied by the ambience of a rainy day. The place could get busy, but the ample seatings spread through out the two-story building it’s occupying will most likely accommodate visiting patrons who would like to dine-in at this cafe.

I forgot to write down the name of this croissant but it’s essentially a chocolate croissant. Flaky on the outside, buttery soft on the inside and overall it’s not too sweet. An 8.5 out of 10 from me. 

I’ve been to this location a couple of times now and after trying a couple of their croissants, my verdict is their croissants are actually pretty good. The fact that they provide toasters in the cafe to warm up/reheat your order might have something to do with it because it allows you to enjoy your pastries while it’s warm. Another thing that I really appreciate is that they provide scissors for you to use to cut your pastries. Very convenient if you don’t want to make a mess or when you’re sharing your orders with your companions.

Chocolate (쇼콜라테) ₩7,800 | 8/10

Ordered their chocolate latte (without the coffee) and I actually quite enjoyed this drink. The chocolate drink itself isn’t too sweet but the chocolate shavings topping was a tad on the sweeter side for my personal preference. But still, it’s not too overly sweet. Also, I tried dipping the croissant into the chocolate drink and it was actually pretty perfect. Would definitely do that again next time.

Wind ₩9,800 | 8/10

Citrus, Herbal, Grapefruit, Sweet

This was my friend’s order and she said it’s actually light and pretty good.

Greysuitcase Seoul Cafe Series: Parole & Langue (파롤앤랑그), Yeonnam-dong (연남동), Seoul, South Korea.

Parole & Langue • 파롤앤랑그

파롤앤랑그
March 08, 2025 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Parole & Langue (파롤앤랑그) is a dessert cafe in Yeonnam-dong (연남동) that’s famous for their delicious tarts. Opened in early 2021, the cafe has been really popular among the locals as well as tourists, evident by the crowd that’s always present in front of the cafe and the frequent sold out sign that they put out when all the tarts in the store are already sold prior to their closing hour. 

The cafe has been on my cafes-to-try list for quite a while since I first found out about it and I finally had the chance to visit them for the first time two years after their opening. It was a warm autumn Friday and I arrived at the cafe around 3 pm. There were a couple groups of people standing around the cafe waiting for their tables it seemed. Since there weren’t a lot of people waiting and I’m still waiting for my friend to come, thought waiting for a table probably wouldn’t be a bad idea. So I quickly put my name into the tablet available at the entrance to join the waiting list. Maybe because there are a lot of tourists visiting the cafe, the reservation system is actually pretty user and tourist friendly since it has the language options available (Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese). 

If you have a local phone number, you can put in your Korean phone number and they’ll notify you via Kakao Talk when your table is ready. That way, you can walk around the area while waiting if you choose to. But there is a disclaimer saying that if you don’t claim your reservation (as in informing the staff that you are present at the cafe) within 5 minutes after you received the notification, your reservation will be cancelled. So make sure you stay within 5 minutes range of the cafe to be safe. If you don’t have a local phone number, you have to wait around the cafe so they can call your name when your turn is up.

I waited about 20 minutes before getting a notification on my Kakao saying that my table is ready. So the wait time wasn’t bad at all. But worth noting, I went only with one friend so we’re considered a smaller group and I told the staff that we’re okay with sitting outside since the weather was kind of nice. I think if you have a bigger party and prefer to sit inside, the wait time might be a little longer.

After I was seated, I went inside the cafe to place my order. The inside of the cafe is pretty spacious and homey, but there weren’t a lot of seatings available. Maybe about 16-18 seats spread around the room, with mostly tables for two. There were six different tarts displayed on the counter and I ordered 2 tarts to share with my friend and took away 4 other tarts to eat with my other friends later that evening. This cafe also has the 1-person-1-drink rule so if you’re visiting, make sure everybody in your group order a drink (and ordering a tart doesn’t count as one drink).

After I tasted their tarts, I totally understand why the place is really popular. First of all, the pie crust of their tart is really, really delicious. It’s flaky, light and buttery all at the same time. When I had my first bite, I just fell in love with the perfect texture of their pie crust. Easily one of the best pie crust I’ve ever had. Second of all, the flavors of their tarts are not overly sweet, which is always preferable for me. And third, you gotta get all the layers of the tart in one bite to get the full flavor of each tart. I think eating it that way will give you a more complete and balanced flavor of the tart (at least it did for me). So those are the three overall comments I have for all their tarts.

Since they use iced ripe persimmon on top, you can’t do take away for this tart because the persimmon might melt. And so this is one of the tarts that I ordered for dine-in. I actually really like this one. The overall taste that I got is sweet, creamy and nutty. The iced persimmon also gave an interesting temperature contrast that’s really refreshing. I think this was actually the first time I had an iced persimmon on a dessert too so it was a nice new experience for me

Basil Tomato (바질토마토) ₩8,800 | 6.5/10

Tomato, Basil Cream, Tomato Jam, Custard
생 바질로 만든 신선한 크림과 토마토의 상큼함이 가득 찬 디저트

This was the other tarts that I ordered for dine-in. The flavor of the Basil Tomato fell on a more savory note for my taste. The combination of the creamy basil and the fresh juicy tomatoes worked really well creating a balanced flavor, but it did remind me of eating a pasta dish instead of a dessert. Or maybe I’m just not a big fan of a basil tomato flavored desserts in general. Overall, good flavors, but probably not my number one option if I’m looking for a sweet dessert.

Corn (옥수수) ₩8,800 | 7/10

Sweet Corn, Corn Cream, Custard, Crispy Oatmeal
노릇하게 구워진 옥수수와 크리스피한 오트밀이 어우러진 한끼 식사같은 디저트

The Corn reminded me of all those popular Korean corn-flavored snacks that I’ve tried in the past. The flavor profile is pretty similar and if you are a fan of those Korean corn-flavored snacks, you’d probably enjoy this one (more than I do since I’m just like mid on Korean corn-flavored things).

Chestnut (보늬밤) ₩9,500 | 7.5/10

Sweet Braised Chestnut, Chestnut Cream, Custard, Almond Cream
달달한 밤조림과 풍미 가득한 밤크림이 어우러진 담백한 디저트

The Chestnut was probably the heaviest and the sweetest out of all the tarts that I tried. Not that it’s super heavy or sweet or anything since all these tarts are pretty much light and not extremely sweet in general. It’s just if you want something that has a bolder flavor (and if you like chestnut obviously), this is a good option to choose.

Yuja Shine Muscat (유자샤인머스캣 ) ₩9,200 | 10/10

Shine Muscat, Yuja Cream, Green Grape Jam, Custard, Yuja Citron Preserve, Almond Cream
향긋한 샤인머스캣과 새콤쌉쌀한 유자가 만난 싱그러운 디저트

The Yuja Shine Muscat is the BOMB. This one is absolutely my favorite out of all the tarts that I’ve tried. The Shine Muscat is sweet and fresh. And the combination of all the layers of this tarts just works wonderfully together. It’s sweet with a hint of fresh sourness from the green grape jam and the Yuja Citron preserve. And the almond cream adds a bit of nuttiness to the overall flavor. It’s so good, I ended up ordering this again and again on my subsequent visits. And I’m not even a big fruit tart kind of person in general so it should say something about this tart.

Choco Banana (초코바나나 ) ₩8,700 | 7/10

Banana, Custard, Banana Jam, Ganache
진한 가나슈와 바나나의 짙은 풍미와 맛으로 가득 찬 묵직한 식감의 디저트

The Choco Banana tasted like what you think a choco banana flavored dessert would taste like. It honestly kinda reminded me of a banana pie with a really good pie crust and chocolate layer inside. A solid option if you like banana.

Milk Tea (초코바나나 ) ₩7,000 | 8/10

Ordered milk tea for my mandatory 1-person-1-drink rule and it was pretty good. Fragrant and not too sweet.

Apart from the selection of six tarts they usually have readily available, they also have a couple of different seasonal flavors using the fresh fruits that are in season. They also serve coffee, tea and non-coffee beverages in the cafe. Overall, Parole & Langue (파롤앤랑그) has definitely became one of my favorite dessert spots in Yeonnam-dong and I would definitely recommend you to try this place, especially if you’re looking for some great tarts.

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Knots x The Union Group, Kemang, South Jakarta, Indonesia.

Knots

KNOTS
February 15, 2025 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Food, Jakarta

Knots by Union Group is the newest bakery in Kemang, South Jakarta that specializes in viennoiserie, baked goods and pastries. The bakery cafe also serves a variety of desserts, cakes as well as food and drinks if you want something heartier. 

If you’re living in Jakarta and a fan of Basque Cheesecake, you’ve probably heard of Knots prior to the opening of their flagship store. Knots was first known for their delicious Basque Cheesecake that they sell through online ordering and at their pop-up booth on various bazaars. Now, joining hand with the Union Group, they finally opened their offline store that serves as a place where people can come and experience their more extensive menu fresh out of the kitchen.

 

“Our Chief Croissant Officer, @thathousehusband, and Chief Pastry Officer, @letaresiregar, are on a mission to roll out the good stuff fresh every day.” —Knots

 

The bakery cafe is pretty spacious with coffee bar, cake display area and dining area with multiple tables for four to five people that accommodate about 60 people or so. The space is designed by Bitte Design Studio, an architecture & interior design studio who’s responsible for some of the most popular dining spots in Jakarta.

The Ritz (55k) | 7.5/10

Hazelnut, Valrhona Dark Chocolate
We name this pastry “The Ritz” to honour Ritz Le Comptoir Paris, the original creator of the distinctive shape.

The Ritz has a more prominent dark chocolate flavor that’s actually quite delicious. The outside was crispy and flaky, but the inside was a little bit dry when I had mine. Not sure if it’s because it’s been sitting out for a bit since I was taking pictures, but I wished the inside is more buttery. But overall, I think this could be a crowd pleaser for anybody who likes chocolate flavored pastries.

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Knots x The Union Group, Kemang, South Jakarta, Indonesia.

The Knots (85k) | 9/10

Hazelnut, Custard
Our commitment to classic viennoiserie led us to reconsider this whimsical design for the menu. But it became such a hit that we found the little edge we needed among the classics - introducing THE KNOTS.

The Knots was my favorite out of all the pastries I tried. The unique ribbon-shaped pastry is flaky on the outside and soft of the inside. The generous hazelnut filling was also delicious and the combination of that and the Valrhona Dark Chocolate definitely reminded me of Ferrero Rocher. Although I have to say, if you don’t really like sweet pastries, this one might be a tad sweet for you (at least that’s how I feel. But I still enjoyed it).

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Knots x The Union Group, Kemang, South Jakarta, Indonesia.

Parisian Melt (65k) | 8/10

Brisket, Caramelized Onion, Honey Dijon Mustard
Ham in a pastry is common, but using beef brisket brings a new dimension. Inspired by the Parisian melt sandwich, take our word for it - this is truly something else.

A great savory option for breakfast or brunch. All the components of the dish work well together giving you a good mix of umami flavors with a hint of sweetness from the caramelized onion and honey dijon mustard.

Jet (100k) | 7/10

Valrhona Guanaja 70% Creme, Knots’ Knew Nothing White Coffee Mousse, Cocoa Biscuit, Chocolate Slice
A delightful mystery that intrigues with its shape, concealing layers of flavors within.

Jet is probably the most visually unique menu that they have. A 10 out of 10 for design and execution for me. As for the flavor, since it’s made mainly out of chocolate and coffee mousse, it is very intense and sweet. A little too sweet for my taste and for some reason, the flavor also reminded me of tiramisu. If you’re not a big fan of sweets but want to try it, would definitely recommend you to share this with the table because the portion is also not small.

Knots Basque Cheesecake (65k) | 8/10

Here’s our version—the Knots Basque Cheesecake—featuring a melted-center creamy filling to give you that ‘ahh’ moment with every bite. We often say that there’s KNOTHING NEW under the sun, much like the timeless Basque Cheesecake. Though it’s been enjoyed for years, we’ve decided to try our hand at making it because it’s something we truly love.

First time trying their Basque Cheesecake and it’s pretty good. I’m not a big fan of cheesecake in general and by no means an expert in cheesecake but I know a lot of my friends also like their cheesecake.

“While viennoiseries and pastries are our heart and soul, people will likely expect us to serve brunch as its pairing. However, we’ve chosen to take a different direction by offering a selection of Asian fusion dishes, Think bold flavors, unexpected combinations and meals that strike the perfect balance between comfort and modern flair.” —Knots

Disco Fries (75k) | 7/10

Miso Apple Sauce, Smoked Brisket, Pickles, Parmigiano Reggiano

Bold flavors and generous portion. This is something that I think will pair really well if you have drinks on the side. But I do wished that the fries were crispier and this dish was overall a little too salty for my personal preference.

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Knots x The Union Group, Kemang, South Jakarta, Indonesia.

Dry Ramen (115k) | 8.5/10

Tare Sauce, Duck Breast, Onsen Egg

One of my favorite dish from the hot meals option. This Japanese inspired dry ramen has a really good, bold flavors. It’s umami and creamy all at the same time. Love that they serve it with chopped kimchi which adds a little kick to brighten up the dish. The duck breast was also seasoned and cooked well. Although I have to say, if you are really sensitive to gamey meat, you might be able to taste a little bit of the gaminess on the duck meat. 

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Knots x The Union Group, Kemang, South Jakarta, Indonesia.

Chicken Chop Butter Rice (100k) | 7.5/10

Dan Dan Sauce, Peanut Crunch, Furikake.

If you like peanuts, you’d probably enjoy the sweet nuttiness of their Dan Dan sauce. The chicken chop has crispy skin with juicy meat. It comes with butter rice topped with furikake that compliments the sweetness of the Dan Dan sauce. I think you have to eat the chicken with the sauce and the rice to get a more balanced flavor out of the dish. 

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Knots x The Union Group, Kemang, South Jakarta, Indonesia.

The Secret Menu (75k) | 8.5/10

Noodles, Chicken Katsu, Kimchi, Furikake, Onsen Egg

Knots’ secret menu is called The Secret Menu. You can order this as long as you know the name of the secret menu. First thing that hit my nose when mixing the noodles was the smell of Indomie Goreng. And turned out, it also tasted like Indomie Goreng, but the flavors are bolder and more complex. Perfect option for a hangover food. This dish also pretty spicy for my spice tolerance (although for my friend who eats spicy food well, she said it’s only a bit spicy).

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Knots x The Union Group, Kemang, South Jakarta, Indonesia.

Noise level at this place is pretty high. The music was blaring pretty loud when I was there. Not sure if it’s because it was their soft opening day so they have special sound system rented for the space or it’s just the regular volume level for their music. Parking is also limited and I believe they only do valet parking if I’m not mistaken. 

If you’re looking for a place that serves good pastries and food in Kemang area, with the numerous options that they have available, Knots is definitely a place worth trying.

Greysuitcase Seoul Cafe Bar Series: Lick Sip (릭십), Hannam-dong (한남동), Yongsan (용산), Seoul, South Korea.

Lick Sip • 릭십

Lick Sip 릭십
January 13, 2025 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Lick Sip (릭십) is a small cafe bar in Hannam-dong that just opened last spring in April 2024. Their menu consist of coffee, non-coffee, alcoholic drinks as well limited options of baked goods and desserts. Although cafe serving booze is not uncommon in Seoul, their Tipsy Treats selections are definitely one of the more unique menu I’ve seen that made me want to visit this place.

Their Tipsy Treats includes Boozy Ice Cream with flavors such as:
🍨 Milk + Bourbon (밀크 + 버번)
🍨 Milk + Amaretto + Rum (밀크 + 아마레토 + 럼)

I visited this cafe during my last trip to Seoul in spring, a month after their grand opening. It was a Sunday afternoon so the place was pretty packed. But me and my friend managed to get a seat on one of the small outdoor table. The weather was really nice so sitting outside was actually perfect to enjoy the afternoon breeze and to people watch a little bit. 

Iced Earl Grey Milk Tea (얼그레이 밀크티) ₩6,500 | 8/10

I ordered the Iced Earl Grey Milk Tea and it was solid. Not too sweet and the tea is pretty fragrant.

Einspänner (아인슈페너) ₩6,500 | 8/10

My friend ordered the Einspänner and she said it was good. The coffee is bitter and the cream is sweet creating a good balance when you sipped the drink.

Noise level inside the cafe when I was visiting was pretty high. The music was playing pretty loud inside the cafe but since we sat outside, it was actually still pretty enjoyable for me. Since I didn’t end up trying their Tipsy Treats, definitely want to go back again to this place to try one of their Boozy Ice Cream or Boozy Drinks.
