Food is basic needs of our life and let's just say I'm a needy one on this category. I love good food! In this blog, I'd post pic of foods I dine in restaurants and tell what I think about them. I might also cook/bake sometime =)

Traditional Indo dessert "bubur sum-sum" @Social House, Grand Indonesia mall, Jakarta



I went to SoHo yesterday with my friends and ordered one of the traditional Indonesian dessert that just available since the fasting month started. I was expecting a really good dessert since SoHo is one of my fav place to hang out either for lunch/dinner, having high tea, or just drinking.

When it came out, I was so happy that I found that SoHo kinda twist the dessert with adding "pisang ijo" (translate to "green banana", it's another Indonesian dessert, it's a banana wrapped in green skin made of glutinous flour) that they made into balls and I think "red beans" balls. The white paste is the so called "bubur sum-sum". And, they pour palm sugar liquid on top of them.

But, I was very disappointed when I took my first bite. First, I taste the white paste, it was really bland!! even though I already mix it with the sugar, it's just bland! Then, I tried the "pisang ijo", the banana is not that sweet, and the skin is not that good. And, I'm not really sure what the other balls are, I think they are "red beans" but I'm not sure at all since the taste is really weird hahaha. And, I think, it tasted kinda like soap.

After a couple bites, I just stopped and doesn't even bother to eat it anymore. So, no more "bubur sum-sum" from SoHo for sure!!!
