United Color of Loca! @ Kemang

If Benetton is identical with colors in fashion, then I would nominate this small establishment in Kemang for the colors in Cafe's industry.

Walk into their shop at Jl. Benda Raya 7A, Kemang in South Jakarta. The logo on the signboard is colored with fresh pastel color on top of black background. Once you walk through the door, an orange wall readily greets you as well as the reception lady. Too bad that they don't have non-smoking area available. Nevertheless, we took a corner table, from which we could observe people coming in and out.

A very helpful and knowledgeable waiter took our order: Strawberry Margarita, Loca Sunset, Panacota and Tiramisu. While waiting for our order, we quickly notice that the decoration on the wall also reinforce the focus of Loca! in colors. A photo on our right shows 2 boys wearing bright blue and red t-shirts, in front of green plastic chair. Another painting behind us is decorated in another pastel color.

Unfortunately, such wonderful ambiance is not followed with great drinks. My Margarita taste more to ice blended syrup, with little to none trace of tequila. Same case with the Loca Sunset, too much ice. Well, the name should be obvious; this is a coffee shop, not a bar. Probably should order a cup of coffee next time.

The food fortunately provide some relieve for the drinks. Tiramisu taste good, although us as Tiramisu chef-wannabe ourself always has some complaint: the lack of liqueur and the use of cake instead of ladyfinger. The Panacotta is great, not to sweet, and firm enough to be enjoyed.

As we finish the both desserts, we sip our drinks, and call ourself a day, a long tiring Saturday...
