For
those who have been waiting for the arrival and are fans of this establishment,
your wish is granted, LA MAISON IS OFFICIALLY OPENING ITS FIRST JAKARTA STORE
TODAY! It's located at Grand Indonesia East Mall precisely beside H&M, the
pink outlet and the huge La Maison sign should be eyecatching enough to notice
as soon as you arrive from the main East Mall entrance.
I
am not an avid fan of macarons nor it's the kind of dessert that I often crave,
but La Maison is surely a huge thing and such a household name at its origin
Medan, and remember the rave when it first opened its pop-up store in We The
Future market? Maybe because of the huge positive response the brand is now
expanding its business with the hope of being successful (like any other
business do). The store design was very minimalist with a little industrial
vibe, you'll basically find a few seats inside along with this huge macaron
display and beverage bar mainly taking the space.
The
macarons were not complete on my visit, some flavors were finished and some were
full, but the colorful macarons even before you know how they tasted were such
eye-candy, and one glance at their macarons and you know they're so well-made:
solid and fat with its macaron feet (important sign that you bake your macarons
right) and various thick generous filling.
Price
for a box of 6 macarons is IDR 115k (before 10% tax)
They serve various coffee, tea and soft beverages to pair
your macaron, tea time here? :)
Assorted
Macarons (box of 6) - IDR 115k
I
honestly didn't even care about the flavors I just randomly pick whatever looks
cute, as far as I can remember I had the Earl Grey Lavender, Popcorn,
Watermelon, Peanut Butter and forgot the other two, not sure if they will roll
the flavors or new ones will come up I suggest follow their Instagram for more
updates.
Besides
macarons, they also offer the customer selections of whole and mini cakes, my
eyes went straight to the pretty two and from the picture
below:
Mademoiselle
(left) and
Chloe (right), all
for
IDR 50k each.
The
Mademoiselle was VERY delicious, it's this beautiful mix of sponge cake with
watermelon and crusty layer and topped with chantily cream, fresh strawberries
and flower petals. The cream was thick, fragrant, sweet and it seriously was
something that really elevated the flavor, make sure that you get the cakes when
the watermelon was on its freshest. Surely the cake that you need to try,
Mini
Chloe - IDR 50k
Their
Chloe was this citrus sponge cake layered with torched meringue and topped with
fresh fruits, the meringue was too sweet for my liking and even though I
expected the sourness of the citrus cake to balance it out, the sweetness from
the meringue still outperformed the sponge cake, but overall still pretty
enjoyable to be honest.
Congratulations
on the opening and welcome to Jakarta, please charm the people of Jakarta with
more of your good creations! Best of luck!
