Brunch at Union Deli

Even thought of the hippiest dessert spot in Jakarta? Well, this multi-branches spot should be called as Legend of the Red Velvet. Since the first spot opened in Plaza Senayan, Union has spread it wings to Pondok Indah Mall and recently opened the outlet in Grand Indonesia Shopping Town that focuses on desserts and cake shop, eventhough they also serve several main courses and drinks. It was a bit tricky to find, located inside Central Department Store in East Mall, here it is Union Deli!

“How is the place?”

Fancy! Still using the old theme which is suitable from brunch to dinner. A mix of retro american dinner with mellow lighting and suited waiters. In the wall, there are also full of pictures which are amusing and supporting the interior. Lots of seatings to choose for, but also be careful in dining time, you might need to save your spot by reservation.

“When did you go there?”

I was having my brunch at 12th January, 2015. Not too crowded but I got my tables reserved earlier.

“How was the service?”

Hippiest meets Friendliest? That’s true. I can’t say much more about my beloved restaurant which serves me delicious Red Velvet until now. Try and taste the hospitality yourself!

 

(Great Service? They won't even let the candle to stop burning!)

 “What did you order?”

There are some of the new menu and their signature, I ordered :

-  Red Velvet Pies (50k)
The main signature pie of Union Deli. Based on the top selling “Red Velvet Cake” which is booming on the previous Union outlets. The pie itself is quite small (the differences between the cake and the pie), crumblings all over the plate, yet it still kept the original cream taste, the sweetness and the old taste yet better and smoother. Must try!

·        -  Bailey’s Mud Pie (50k)

Round, Brown, surrounded by small drop of jam? Well, this one is the most favourite dessert if you want to avoid red velvet sweet and choose chocolatte-ish sweet. Bite by bites, you will see that the center part of the pie is so soft that make you want to lick it all over again.

·       -  Organic Tea By Damman – Earl Grey (30k)

A tasty tea, served by a tea pot, a cup, and what I like is that they are using block sugar which give a traditional taste of afternoon tea time. They also gave a free hot water refill when you run out of tea. Pretty amazing, right?

“So, The Conclusion is?”

Actually I was chasing the dessert only, because it is the main focus of Union Deli. The place itself is quite small, not as big as te older brother at Senayan. Considering of the number of visitor, I believe that if Union Deli is quite larger it can hold up to more people and serve better, Gotta catch up the other dishes such as the main courses later!
