Kempi Deli at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta
Opening early, at 7.30am on weekdays for busy professionals looking to grab and go, and at 9am on the weekends, Kempi Deli is ready to serve Jakarta’s residents with its ample selection of fine home-made products that run the gamut from cold cuts and sausages to up to 30 types of European bread and pastries, as well as some excellent cakes.
Warm and casual, with brick walls and a distinctly European feel, Kempi Deli seats 30 indoors and serves a menu of gourmet dishes, from hearty breakfasts to salads, sandwiches and pastas, as well as imaginative healthy drinks, teas, coffees and even Paulaner beers.
The sweets and cakes here are designed to pamper the taste buds and are perfect for a treat at any time. The Strawberry Tart is a well-made classic with sable Breton, pistachio, custard and fresh strawberry – light and luscious, the custard melts in the mouth as the crumbly base adds texture. Another bright delight is the Green Tea Yuzu with layers of crunchy green tea dacquoise, tart and zingy yuzu cremeux, orange compote and fluffy green tea mousse, wrapped in a glossy green decorated with daisies. The unique combination of sweet and tart is sensational.
For chocolate lovers, the Hazelnut Finger is a dream with its mixture of creamy chocolate, crunchy hazelnut, hazelnut sponge and caramel toffee all wrapped up in chocolate. In high demand with Kempi Deli customers, it is available in both individual servings and as a 1kg cake. What’s even better is that discounts are available after 7pm on all freshly baked goods.
