SUNDAY BRUNCH at CASSIS KITCHEN

Sunday brunch has always been my favorite meal on a Sunday. After a good sleeping in, catching up with friends for a good meal and coffee sounds about right.

Cassis Jakarta; after holding a special Sunday brunch each month collaborating with restaurants from other countries, the restaurant finally introduced their own Sunday Brunch menu with delicious selections that would suit the local palate. 

Cassis has always been one of my favorite place to hang out with friends. Bright open monochromatic layout with big windows has all the right ingredients for a cozy and welcoming place to lay back and have a good chat. 

Chia Seed Pudding - IDR 90K

Coconut cream, berries compote, fresh fruits

Acai Berry Bowl - IDR 95K

Frozen acai berry puree,banana, strawberry, goji berry, granola

Before, I always thought Cassis was more on the pricy side for a restaurant, however, the good news is that they heard the wailing of our thinning wallet after every meal and had since adjusted their price and become more reasonable, the range price of IDR 85K to 150K before the tax and service sounds better to me. 

Seared Barramundi - IDR 115K

vine ripe tomato, baby potato, fennel,almond panzanella dressing

25 different menus from their brunch menus serves appetizers, mains and desserts, available from 11am to 4pm weekly. Adding to the perk, for those who like a little buzz with their brunch, the restaurant serves wine and cocktails that definitely will make any occasion a little bit more festive, don’t you think?

Crab Angel Hair - IDR 135K

Angel hair pasta with crab meat, chilli, spring onion, garlic, and corriander.

maple glazed pork bacon - IDR 125K

After trying a few of their dishes, my top pick is the duck and waffle (though nothing could ever compete with the duck and waffle in London that I so raved about in my older post) it is tasty enough to satisfy my craving for a duck and waffle for brunch here in Jakarta. The duck was crispy, moist and most certainly juicy served with two pieces of home-made waffles completed with thick maple syrup, perfection and I could easily rate the dish 4 out of 5-star!

Duck Confit Wafle - IDR 135K

Roasted duck with cucumber and mint salad, sweet szechuan glaze

My second pick would be the Crispy Norwegian Salmon; a thick slice of salmon cooked perfectly with a layer of crispy skin that worth drooling over for. The salmon dish was combined with well-seasoned fresh sautéed vegetable that enables you to have a balance meal of the day (killing two birds with one stone). 

Crispy Norwegian Salmon - IDR 145K

Norwegian salmon with grilled corn salsa, roasted zucchini, and sherry dressing

Save some space for this amazing dessert as well

Cronuts - IDR 80K

Needless to say, I enjoyed my brunch at Cassis (as always) and I strongly would encourage you to arrange your next meeting with good friends in this delightful place that is Cassis.

TreLatte COFFEE for a quick stop

my favorite spot and table

I still remember when the first ‘hip’ coffee shop opened in West Jakarta area and that was Koultura coffee. The place settled nicely in the middle of busy Taman Ratu area and I acknowledged the place as one of the pioneer of coffee shobp to represent the West side. Since then, more and more coffee shops opened up and at the moment there are roughly, from the top of my head, up to fifteen coffee shops in west area. With so many lackluster coffee places to choose from these days (some places get my head scratch wondering with the coffee so bad why bother opening?), I am beginning to be weary.

cute murals all over the wall

pretty decorated with yellow as the dominant color

The place is not big in size and it was divided into three areas; the outdoor seating for smoking area, the inside seating and the big room meeting area with minimum charge to be able to use the area. This coffee shop is minimally decorated relaying to its cute murals on the wall that combined with colorful theme with yellow as the dominant color.

even the clock has yellow color

Weary as I may be, coffee with substance is all I seek that lead me to Trelatte Coffee hoping for a decent cup of coffee. Located near Three Folks Coffee, this place was recently opened serving drinks and the munchies.

I ordered two cups of cappuccino and hoped for the best. To my delight it was not a disappointment. Though I like my coffee strong with less milk, the medium body coffee; not too acidic, not that bitter, mild aroma and texture, that I had was quite pleasant. I am quite sure for the coffee ‘social’ drinker will find the coffee here satisfactory.

With the quaint ambience and very close to where I live, I wouldn’t mind to keep coming back for coffee breaks. The owners and servers were very welcoming and warmth, I wish them the best in their future endeavors and weed out the competition since lot of coffee place only means more picky costumers. Good luck!

well spended
