French Pastries Blended with Asian Touch, Curious about the Taste?

"Dream - Pastry dishes always have a place in Indonesian society, which really enjoys snacking. The variety of pastry creations nowadays is vast, but fundamentally they are made from a mixture of flour, water, and fat that is processed to have a crispy and soft texture."

Pastry began to be widely known in Europe, especially in France and England. From there, pastry quickly spread to other countries. In Indonesia, the influence of pastry began to be seen during the Dutch colonial period, when various types of cakes and bread were introduced by the colonizers.

Over time, pastries have also adapted to local flavors and become part of Indonesia's rich and diverse culinary culture. Until now, various types of pastries can be found in bakeries and cafes throughout the archipelago.

If you are a pastry lover and want to try a unique and different taste, you can check out the menus at Kenangan Boulangerie, which has just opened in Senayan City. One of the interesting options is croissant filled with salted egg sauce, or Salted Egg Cronigiri.

There is also Lobster Tail Pistachio Chocolate, a unique combination of flavors, namely the sweet taste of chocolate and the savory taste of pistachio. When Dream tries it, the outer layer is very crispy with a texture that indulges the palate.

While inside there is sweet and rich crunchy chocolate spread combined with savory and slightly salty pistachios. This combination creates a contrasting sensation, where the delicious melting chocolate blends perfectly with the crispiness of the pistachios. According to Thomas Meneau, Executive Chef of Kenangan Brands, pastries with this combination of flavors are difficult to create. Not only that, Thomas mentioned that making pastries with the right taste for Indonesian people is very challenging.

"Creating both flavor combinations in this pastry is quite challenging. Because both ingredients have equally strong flavors, it is quite challenging to combine the flavors of chocolate and pistachio in one dish," said Thomas Meneau, Executive Chef of Kenangan Brands at Kopi Kenangan Heritage, on Wednesday, June 5, 2024."

There is also a matcha dish called Matcha Brioche au Graquelin which certainly has a unique taste. These French pastry menus with Asian touches are available at Kenangan Boulangerie, created and developed by Chef Thomas Meneau together with the R&D team of Kenangan Brands.

In total, Kenangan Boulangerie has 17 menu options, all made personally. "I hope that customers can enjoy every bread at Kenangan Brands and experience its uniqueness when Asian flavors are combined with food from Europe, especially my homeland, France," said Chef Tomas.
