Union at Plaza Senayan

It's been quite long time I haven't posted anything. I am not an active blogger, yeah I know that. For today's post will be short too as I am still trying to boost my motivation to write more. 

I was at Plaza Senayan with my friends and we happened to move our steps to Union. It was unplanned. Actually we were looking for a cafe to kill our time by chatting for the rest of the day. Well, when we saw it, we have heard several times that Union serves decent dessert, so we decided to give it a try. 

There were many people inside already. It's tea time so the crowd was understandable plus long-waiting list, must be worth the wait. Union is famous for it's red velvet, it can be seen from every slice were on almost every table. Unfortunately, I am not fan of bright color cake such as rainbow cake and velvets. They just do not entice me.

Finally we got a table after about 15 minutes wait and a guy with a really nice suits came and served our order. He told us that we only have 2 hours to spend there. I supposed it's because of the crowd. We ordered the beverage from the menu list and the guy suggest to take a look at the cake counter to help us decide what cake to order. Thus, we went to the counter and we decided that we want everything. Yeah, cause the cakes looked really appetizing. But we could not be greedy as we had to save some space for our dinner. 

Banana Carrot Cake

All the sliced cake were in big portion, so we thought ordered 3 slices will do. This was what we chose, Banana Carrot Cake. I did actually, cos it's been a long time since I had it and it's in Singapore! Union's rendition of this cake was excellent. Creamy cheese cake on top did not make us sick of it. The cake was not too dense and we could taste the carrot and banana in balance. So good! It actually tasted like my homemade banana bread. Yeah, I do bake, believe me and it means that my banana bread works well right? ha. ha.

Tripple Chocolate Cake

We also ordered Tripple Chocolate Cake that afternoon. Honestly, it was big, chocolaty, bitter-sweet and ordinary. Nothing special on that cake. So, we decided we prefer the carrot cake. Unanimous. 

Last one we also had their peach danish, which was good I may say. It was kind of crispy outside and fluffy inside, good pastry. The peach itself got sweet and sour taste so it's balanced and combined well with the pastry. But still, the carrot cake was the winner.

It's been a long time since I had this and me and my friends agreed that we crave for it and hope can go back there again. Well, seems one of my friends could not resist her craving so she went for the second time and tried the red velvet. She told me that it is recommended! Even a lot nicer than the carrot cake. It tempts me really bad. So, apparently we should  go back there again for the red velvet. SOON.
