Krispy Kreme Foodie Blogger Gathering

Dear fellow tasters,

This was the second time that I got invited to a Krispy Kreme event; the first one was for the VIP party to celebrate the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Cafe opening.  At the party, there were a lot of things going on and when I finally sat down in the cafe, it was very crowded and there wasn’t many chance to try out their doughnuts and baked creations.  So when a second invitation for a separate blogger gathering came in, it was very much welcome and we did end up having a wonderful sugary Krispy Kreme time.

SendokGarpu – Kaffein Meet and Greet

Dear fellow tasters,

Last Friday, I was invited to a meet and greet event for culinary bloggers organized by SendokGarpu, one of Indonesian restaurants guide website.  It was always great to meet other fellow food bloggers and this time, the meeting point was at Kaffein, fX lifestyle X’nter Senayan.  The main agenda was to try Kaffein’s holiday beverages and to get acquainted with SendokGarpu and its soon-to-be-released new version of the website.  The rest of the time was spent in delightful conversation and foodie information exchange.

Yang Manis Dari Masa Lalu Blogger Gathering

Dear fellow tasters,

What’s not to love about Monday?  Especially when there’s an invitation for a blogger gathering *grin*.  Last Monday, I got invited to a food bloggers gathering slash break fasting slash product launching event for a new line of Wall’s ice cream product.  The theme was “Ramadhan bersama Yang Manis Dari Masa Lalu” (translation: Ramadhan with Something Sweet From The Past).  Choice of place: an Indonesian spices restaurant, suitably named Rempah-rempah, located on Jalan Senopati which is already quite known for its array of good food restaurants and more.

Ten Ten Blogger Gathering

Dear fellow tasters,

Last Wednesday, I was officially invited by goorme.com for my first time food tasting or blogger gathering after previously attending only as a +1 and this time the place was Ten Ten, a casual Japanese tempura restaurant opening its second branch in Plaza Indonesia, basement level.  Ten Ten is managed by Boga Group, the same company which has brought Jakartan tasters a series of good food restaurants such as Sushi Tei, Bakerzin, Sushi Kiosk, Pepper Lunch, Rakuzen (still on my list to try), and recently-opened Paradise Dynasty.  The restaurant’s concept is homey and woody with cute mascots featuring the Ten Family, a happy tempura family.
