Once again our fab friends Ted and F have introduced us to something: Monolog Quality Coffee Co. A coffee shop resto that serves high quality coffee. One day after lunch with TD and his colleagues at Crystal Jade Senayan City, we went to Monolog in nearby Plaza Senayan for dessert.
Yummy Latte (L) and Cappuccino (R)
DID YOU KNOW? Depending on the beans, there is a perfect temperature to brew them, which is why if you dine here, you will notice that the coffee will not burn your tongue. Apparently when the water is too hot, it burns the coffee and affects its flavor which is a total waste of expensive coffee grounds. (I hope I remember the explanation of Fab Ted right because I am not a coffee expert by any means!)
The Cheesecake and Chocolate Mousse (?) weren’t amazing…
But the star was this delectable white confection. I forgot the name but it was a new cake. Just. So. Yummy.
Oh and now we know where to get yummy French macarons ! Yay! My favorite are the dark chocolate, mocha and raspberry!
We will definitely be back to try out their all-day breakfast. I wonder if they serve real bacon? We always get excited when restos serve real (=streaky pork) bacon here because it’s not very common for restos to serve pork. Does any body know?
Please forgive the quality of my photos as they were only taken with an iPhone.

You have to try it, I’m not a big fan of pumpkin but GAH! So good :3
Thanks for the reco Atri. Will definitely order that next time I’m there!
whoa i don’t know that they serve cake like chocolate mousse and even macarons now!
i reviewed them before here http://thelittlemissjessica.blogspot.com/2011/07/food-crave-monolog-quality-coffee-co.html
but there wasn’t many cakes to choose back then 🙁
are those coconut flakes on top of the white cake?
definitely should try their all-day breakfast! lots of people told me they are delish 😉
I can’t remember for sure, but yes I think they were coconut flakes. All I know is that there was a coconut component and it was absolutely yummmm! I’m intrigued about the breakfast, though my friend wasn’t so happy. So I’ll have to see for myself!
unfortunately when i went there last week, the coconut cake was already sold out! seems like it’s quite popular then, and delicious of course :d
waiting for your review on the breakfast before trying it myself haha 🙂
