There were so many times I tried to write my blog again since there are so many new place to grab awesome meals in Surabaya. However, my plan finally ended up with tens, uhmm I guess actually hundreds of pictures that only stucked in my gadgets or perhaps some of them are lucky enough to be posted on my social media (Instagram: @vitia_tandy or Path: Vitia Tandy). But finally after 9 months from my latest post, here comes the day when I finally post another update about my culinary experience. And since it has been so long, then I need to update something great, right? So here we go, Canary Cafe and Store, the newly born vintage cafe =)
This cafe is located in a three-floored building which actually consists of cafe (first and second floor), boutique (second floor), and photo studio (third floor). It brings a vintage concept which I adore. But if you notice, there is something different in the way you order the food and beverages besides the other cafe. You need to make your order, pay it straightly in front, find a seat, then wait for your order there. Yeah, like a semi-self-service perhaps. It is more like the way to order at Starbucks ;)
I've heard about many famous food and beverages here so let's have a try. For beverages we chose these four fabulous drinks. Choco Coconut (Rp30.000,00), Raspberry Mint Tea (Rp25.000,00), Strawberry Green Tea (Rp35.000,00), and Banana Berry (Rp30.000,00).

| Choco Coconut - Raspberry Mint Tea |
The Raspberry Mint Tea was so refreshing with the raspberry aroma and minty sensation. It was quite good and gave this chillin' sensation. On the other hand, the Choco Coconut tasted so unique. The blend of thick chocolate and coconut wrapped in whipped cream and shredded chocolate sprinkles were so exotic yet so creamy. A great choice for a chocolate lover =)

Strawberry Green Tea and Banana Berry gave their own different story...
 |
| Strawberry Green Tea - Banana Berry |
Strawberry Green Tea is a great idea to pull apart ogura (red bean) from green tea =P Despite of the dazzling visual appearance, the strong taste of green tea somehow covered the sweet and sour of the strawberries. Then I disappointingly ended up sipping a plain green tea frappucino. Hmm, probably strawberry is not a qualified affair for green tea =P

Banana Berry is the mixture of strawberry milkshake blended with banana. Besides having whipped cream, as a topping, they also showered it with roasted diced nuts and topped it with a lovely red cherry. Every single elements were balancedly mixed well. I have no other words, but I think this was the best beverage that we ordered tonight =)

For the main course, we ordered two savory waffles. First of them was Waffle Katsu (Rp42.000,00). This "sandwich-like" waffle was filled with ham slices, mozzarella cheese, enoki, rougut, and some sauce. After coated with bread crumbs, it was deeply fried, and finally served with fresh vegetables. Okay, the picture can describe the taste. Three letters, Y-U-M!

And the second savory waffle, which is the most famous dish here, is the Waffle Tower (Rp99.000,00). From the top to the bottom, there are fried onion rings, waffle, chicken katsu, assorted vegetables (onion, tomato, and lettuce), another waffle, beef patty, another assorted vegetables, and ended up with another layer of waffle. Served with two type of sauce (modified mayo and tomato based sauces), all of them tastes so heavenly. I love the beef patty the most <3 Since it has an ultimate extra size (and of course an extra price too), it can be enjoyed by two or even three people..

And of course the last part of the journey is... DESSERT!! We ordered one sweet waffle and a piece of cake. Here we go, the Banned Apple Waffle (Rp45.000,00).

A piece of warm crunchy waffle, served with cubes of sweet apples, sliced banana, and almonds. Then lastly completed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and a sexy red cherry. This combination never fails, I guess..

Last but not least, a piece of good looking Cheese Tart (Rp32.000,00).

Based with a yummy pie crust, it was filled with a savory cheesecake. Next, it was layered with sweet delightful milk chocolate and topped with soft and light chocolate cream. An unusual form of cheese cake, but it was pleasingly good! The combination of the savory and sweet is just adorable. Big yum yum.. =9
