I went to MKG with my friends last Saturday and while strolling around there, I bumped into a stall... well not really a stall, it was like kind of a big stall. Oh whatever. But you get the idea, don't you? Kalo ngga ya udah, google aja sih 'Cotton Drops'. Anyway, the signboard said "Cotton Drops", dan sebagai orang yang suka kepengaruh sama barang-barang unyu yang penting gak penting, langsung deh gw samperin itu stand dan celingak celinguk penasaran mau kepo-in itu toko. Dan gw lihat mereka baru buka hari ini, terus... emm... ohh ternyata dia jualan minuman toh... "Ah, must be another vendor of the ol' boring bubble tea...", that's what I thought that time, and I was kind of wrong. Hahaha... Bagian jual minumnya sih bener, tapi bukan bubble tea. Jadi dia tuh jual minuman tapi di atasnya ada cotton candy. Nah, pas gw ke sana siangnya, tempat itu belum dibuka untuk umum, tulisannya 'Invitation Only' alias yang boleh mampir cuma buat undangan, orang awam dan rakyat jelata kudu nunggu sampai after jam 6 sore, dan karena gw termasuk golongan rakyat jelata jadilah gw cuma bisa memandang rindu dari pinggiran. Asik.
"Ya udah jangan cuma bacot doang, mana gambarnya? NO PIC = HOAX." Kata kalian. Oke, gw gak sempet ngambil foto tokonya. Kenapa? Karena 1. Malu, banyak orang, masa iya gw macam alay nista motret-motretin toko orang out of nowhere, 2. Gw gak kepikiran mau update blog gw dengan review ini. Bodohnya.
Anyway, pas malem sebelum gw pulang dari sana, gw memutuskan untuk mampir sekali lagi karena masih penasaran *maksa*. Tapi karena pas malem itu gw udah kenyang bego dan lumayan sugar high karena sebelum itu gw sok ide makan cake di Aranzi Cafe 1 biji sendirian (iya gw nyoba gara2 bentukannya lucu dan gw ga peduli kalo itu overpriced, dan secara gw ditraktir temen juga sih...), jadi gw memutuskan untuk gak beli minumnya karena gw yakin kalo gw minum-minuman manis yang menambah kadar gula darah di dalam badan gw lagi, kayaknya gw bakal kena diabetes saat itu juga. So I decided to bought their 'Sweet Pot' cake. It was like a pot that you usually use to contain plant, but this one contains cake topped with some cookie/cake crumbles that represents the soil. Hmm... Susah dijelasinnya ya... Ya pokonya penampakannya seperti ini:

| Tadaaaaahhh...! Sweet Pot - 35K |
Ya gitu pokonya. Gw gak makan saat itu juga tentu saja, gw masih kenyang bego sama cake Aranzi yang tadi itu. Gw akhirnya take away cake tanah itu dan baru makan 2 hari kemudian. And here's what I thought:
Name: Green Tea Sweet Pot
Species: Dessert unyu-unyu yang lagi happening
Vendor: Cotton Drops
Location: Gading Walk - MKG
Plus Factor: The cake was decent, not too sweet, not too plain, and the flavor was really there. You can take the container pot home with you if you want to *yay!*, and lastly, who doesn't like to eat a fun-shaped cake like that? At least I do. :D
Minus Factor: The size was suitable for liliput. It was a bit on the too small side of portion. And also, they only have 1 store location and it's far as hell from where I live :(
Verdict: This is commonly known as 'soil cake' elsewhere. IDK about the flavor at the other places but here, the cake comes in 3 flavor variations, strawberry, green tea, and chocolate-something... I forgot. I chose the green tea flavored (like, DUH) and it was surprisingly good! I mean it was not just another pretty face *tsahh!*. And yes, you can definitely taste the green tea while munching the cake. The sweetness level is also fine by me and the experience of eating it was quite fun (makan tanah, macam ikut pesugihan... xixixi...), so both the taste and the price are OK because as far as I know the price is higher for this kind of cake elsewhere, they're like 50K-something if I'm not mistaken. So was it good? Yes! Will I come back for more? Maybe. I'm thinking about trying their drinks instead if I visit MKG again next time.
That was it. Until next time! BBFN (bye-bye for now) :D
