Market & Museum 'Surprise Kitchen' at Grand Indonesia

Hi dearest readers! :)

It's been all about foods at last weekend. Why? It's because an event at Grand Indonesia organized by Market & Museum called Surprise Kitchen. This event was held from 29th May to 1st June 2014 with more than 70 F&B tenants participated. The Exhibition Hall at Level 5 Grand Indonesia was full of amazing and various foods and beverages. A little introduction for Market & Museum, Market & Museum is a thematic market for young entrepreneurs and was voted as 'Best Event 2013' by free! Magazine (from @marketmuseum IG profile description). This Surprise Kitchen event was also coincided with Grand Indonesia's 5th anniversary (HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAND INDO! :D).

I visited this event twice over the weekend and had foods galore! No entry fee for this event (YES, IT WAS FREE!) and I went surrounding the hall like TEN times! The hall was so crowded with people having a look and trying foods & beverages from the tenants. Young and old, with family and friends, all people are there. I believe people were having FUN there with all the foods & beverages.
I tried lots of foods and beverages, and here are the gems that I found from Surprise Kitchen :

Karokun
Placed in the middle of the hall and had bigger stand among the others. After the first lap of sightseeing, Karokun attracted me with their live grilling display. Also I was curious why there was a long queue in front of their stand, so I decided to join the queue. Karokun is a yakitori shop brand (Yakitori is Japanese skewered chicken). After more than 15 minutes of waiting, phew! Finally I got my yakitori. I had Chicken Breast, Chicken Thigh, Chicken Wings and Chicken Skin. Freshly grilled then dipped with soy sauce and added with seaweed, chili, sesame seed seasoning. I should say that my time used for waiting was absolutely worth! These yakitori were delightful and yummy, I love their sauce and seasoning. My favorite was the Chicken Thigh - also most people favorite I guess. The Chicken Thigh was always out of stock and you have to wait it to be grilled! The prices are ranging from IDR 10k-20k per piece. Fair enough though.

Milky Way
No no no, it's not that chocolate producer. Milky Way in Surprise Kitchen had flavored premium milk pudding as their product. They had a cute packaging and the components inside hadn't blended yet so it looked like layers. Tried Choco Caramel, the milk and caramel were nice and the chocolate was delightful!

Puyo Desserts
The famous silky dessert in J-Town! This people's favorite shouldn't be missed. A genuine silkiness in each cup of Puyo is irresistible. With various and colorful flavors, Puyo is fulfilling people's demand for a good premium dessert. Puyo's stand in Surprise Kitchen was always crowded by people. I bought home 4 cups of Puyo with different flavors. The price for each cup is IDR 12.5k. Other than Silky Desserts, Puyo also sold Silky Drinks. Silky Drinks combine milky flavors with the original Puyo. It looks very nice! Kudos to Puyo Desserts for creating such a great dessert! With no doubt, I can declare myself as a fan of Puyo, Puyo People! HAHA =))

Creamy Comfort
"Where Every Forkful Is A Comfort!" It's the trademark quote from Creamy Comfort. Creamy Comfort has one of the best premium dessert that'll indulge and comfort you. I couldn't stand to see their beautiful stand HAHA. I was so lucky to get their last Smores Pie of the day, one of the owners even suggested me to take it :). Graham cracker crust filled with chocolate nutella and toasted marshmallow creme was undeniably perfect! This pie was a perfect mix of luxury and sweetness. I love the soothing chocolate layer at the bottom. I fall in love with this dessert <3.

Fruters
Calling all mango lovers (including me :p), you should try this mango puree by Fruters. One healthy and refreshing fruit drink in Suprise Kitchen. Gedong Gincu mango puree and mixed with jelly and packed in small and big bottle, ready to drink anytime. The flavor was balanced, not too sweet, not too acidic either. The jelly made this mango puree more enjoyable. Love it!

Spiky Smooth
I had no interest with this ice cream tenant firstly, but after I saw their menu I changed my mind. Ordered their amazing Sandwich Waffle Ice Cream and I was stunned! Big scoop of Choco Milo ice cream sandwiched with two big chunks of waffle then poured with Toblerone chocolate sauce. It was freezin' good! The Choco Milo ice cream had small bites of Milo inside and the Toblerone sauce wasn't too sweet, just perfect! The waffles were also fresh and smooth. Hooray!

Kelasi
People are always creative especially when it comes to food and beverages. Kelasi (Kelapa Isi) is one of the example of creativity. Rather than drinking the boring and old-fashioned coconut from coconut shell, Kelasi transformed it into coconut dessert. Using half of coconut shell as the cup, Kelasi then filled it with coconut ice cream, coconut meat and various toppings! I was amazed with this new way of enjoying coconut. You can pick 'Boat' - coconut ice cream with two default toppings (peanut and sticky rice) or 'Cruise' - coconut ice cream + two default toppings + two extra toppings of your choice. The 'Boat' is IDR 20k and the 'Cruise' is IDR 25k. The coconut ice cream and coconut meat were VERY GOOD! Peanuts and mochi were okay for me, tiny-sized longan was my favorite topping! It matched perfectly with the coconut. One declining point was the sticky rice, the sticky rice was too warm. I expected it to be colder. Overall, this 'Kelapa Isi' was a great refreshing dessert! :D

It looks like I had too many desserts rather than foods HAHA. It was simply because the desserts were more attractive for me. I did try some foods but the desserts stole my heart during this Surprise Kitchen.

Overall, this 'Surprise Kitchen' event was such a big hit. Great job for Market & Museum for organizing this event and Grand Indonesia for hosting it. This event really satisfied and pampered my tongue with all of great foods and beverages. Looking forward for another great event like this!
