The Strawberry (and Chocolate) Cake from Ginza

Do you know "Tokyo Banana"? At the first time, i thought it only has 1 variant : sponge cake with banana cream as the filling.  Honestly, I don't like it. The cake is too dry. But, everything was changed when i found this cake.


I got this cake from my father in law. He just came back from his holiday to Japan. Actually he brought a lot of snack (Japan is a heaven for snack lover). But i really in love with this cake.


There are 2 variants of this cake : strawberry cake , and strawberry & chocolate cake.






The strawberry & chocolate cake has chocolate and strawberry cream as the filling. The cake is totally soft. It doesn't feel dry at all. And the sweetness of the cream is perfect.


The strawberry cake also has a very soft texture. I really like this flavor because of its filling, custard cream and strawberry. I think it's a perfect combination. The sweetness of the custard cream, and the sourness of strawberry cream make me want to eat this cake more and more. Yumm :)

You can buy these cakes at Narita Airport, after the check in gate. However, if you're not departing from Narita Airport, you can get it at Tokyo station. They also have a lot of variant of this cake. As i remember, the price is around ¥1000, standard price for such a delicious cake like this in Japan.

Laneige White Plus Renew Daily Protection Cream SPF 36 PA++

After more than a month using Laneige White Plus Renew Night Cream , i feel my skin type has changed from dry - combination to normal.. Yeay!!! However, i haven't get the result for the brightening effect. And i started to think that i need another things from Laneige White Plus Renew line. Therefore, i bought Laneige White Plus Renew Daily Protection Cream SPF 36 PA++.


Laneige White Plus Renew Daily Protection Cream works as day cream. You can use it every morning before do your daily activities. This cream also contains SPF 36 PA++. So, you don't need to use sunblock again. This cream makes everything simple, very suitable for everyone who's busy. You just need 1 step to get a bright face and it also give protection to your skin from the sun light.


The packaging looks exactly the same like its night cream, simple yet elegant.




You also will get a small spatula to take the cream. So it will keep hygienic.


Same packaging, doesn't mean same at the inside. The texture, color, and the smell are totally different. If the night cream has a relaxing smell, this day cream totally doesn't smells good. The texture also too creamy, little bit hard to blend it on my face. Maybe because it contains SPF for sun protection.



I have used this day cream (with night cream) for 1 month, and now my skin get brighter than before. My skin type also changed become normal. So far, this is the best whitening products i ever tried.

Disney on Ice 2015 "Dare to Dream" at Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE)

Today is the most awaiting day for Aurelia (and me :P) . Because we're going to watch Disney on Ice for the first time.


Actually this is not the first time Disney on Ice come to Jakarta. They come every year, with different theme. But we never watched it before because the place was too far from my home, at Istora Senayan, Jakarta. And this year, they will play at 2 different venues, Istora Senayan (as usual) and Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) at BSD Serpong. How glad i am to hear that. Finally i have a chance to watch Disney on Ice with my daughter.






The show held on ICE for 3 days, from April 17th - 19th, 2015. I chose to watch it on Saturday.

They also sell some food and drink. But we already have a breakfast at that time. So we didn't eat there.


Well, this is what Aurelia wear to go to this event. Looks good?


I was going earlier, about 1 hour before the show started. I was worried if the place will be crowded. Although with my Platinum ticket, we already have the seat number. But that's ok, so we still had a time to take a picture first.




There are 5 parts at this show:
- Opening Dance
  They're dancing and showed Tiana as the princess.


- Snow White





- Cinderella



- Tangled (Rapunzel)











- The Final of the show
   All of disney character, including all the prince and princess came out and dance in white costume. Pretty ^^

Eugene and Rapunzel  


Overall, I really like the show. Especially "Rapunzel" part. I like "Eugene" character and my daughter too. Even she never stop laughing when she looked  him.
