I am here to try their JDW 2024 menu, The Nest, and will just focus solely on this menu only. The Nest is visually poetic. A pandan tuile gracefully cradles the delicate gelato at the center, perched atop a bed of sarang balam. Each bite offers a unique combination of mango, coconut, and dark chocolate sorbet in varying ratios, creating a dynamic flavor experience. The tropical sweetness of the mango, with its slight astringency, harmonizes with the light, milky sweetness of coconut, while the subtle bitterness of the dark chocolate adds depth. Though an unusual combination for me, it surprisingly works! The distinct aren sweetness from the sarang balam further enhances the overall flavor profile. Texturally, the contrast between the soft, velvety gelato and the crisp, crunchy sarang balam is a delight. While the dense, slightly thicc bolu kecit adds another layer of complexity. Personally, I would have preferred the bolu to be lighter and airier, with a hint of savory butter—an idea that seems perfect in my mind, though I wonder how it would play out in reality! Hahaha. Price is IDR 55.000 nett
