GYOKURO The Green Tea Specialist

HELLOO readers :* this is my first post during my exam week :( I've been facing difficulties since last Monday and now I'm asking myself what did I do at the class, seems like everything was new when I read the questions paper. This morning (02.05.2014) was Financial Management mid test and I just found myself staring for almost 20 minutes to the whole paper, wishing a fairy godmother came in and whispered nothing but the answers. 

So, after facing a hard time and using 150 minutes to the fullest, I finally let myself surrender to any possibilities might happen to my answers. Then, I asked my friends to go somewhere outside campus to have a little happiness. We decided to go to Alam Sutera, actually we went there for having a brunch, and we need something sweet as usual. 

Surprisingly, I was remember that my friend on Path has ever posted something about Gyokuro, since the place located at Mall @ Alam Sutera, I asked my friend to accompany me trying their menus.

Gyokuro claimed them self as 'Green Tea Specialist', and I found myself as a 'Matcha or Green Tea addict' (like I've just mentioned on my last post). Based on that kind of compatibility, I was ensure myself that I will like all their beverages & dessert, but....it's still kinda confusing me to choose. At the end, I chose Ma Matcha Parfait. 

Here is the Parfait...

That's how it looks, the top layer is green tea ice cream, you could request whether having it with ice cream or froyo, next time I will change it into froyo. The ice cream having a soft texture but not heavy, it's not milky, seems like the proportion of matcha : milk is dominated by matcha. The ice cream tastes sweet yet bitter of tea. The sweetness doesn't dominating but you could still taste it, the bitterness of tea might be left a little bit longlasting on your tongue but that's the best part of enjoying green tea or matcha for me. 

You could enjoy the matcha side-by-side with the 3 pieces of long wafers and red beans. I like the red beans, sweet and soft, blend together with the bitterness of the matcha. The 2 pieces of white-colored balls are mochi, it has ogura filling. For me, the mochi didn't served well because it's not sticky and tender, but the flavor was delicious. 

The second layer is vanilla ice cream with corn flakes, seems like the vanilla will tastes better if it's mixed with the green tea ice cream. The vanilla itself has a milky texture and sweet, I like it, but still prefer the green tea ice cream. The last layer is coffee jelly, I didn't finished it and left it. I think the coffee jelly should be changed with something matched the vanilla ice cream, especially the green tea ice cream, because when the green tea ice cream melts, it will mixed the vanilla ice cream and created a very delicious combination, but the coffee jelly kinda ruined it HEHE.. 

Overall, I like this Ma Matcha Parfait, but I wouldn't crave it for some more, I'll come back to Gyokuro to taste their froyo and matcha latte next time!
