Prologue

Who isn't tempted by a sweet snack? Sweet snacks are always the best choice to bring up a good mood. Sweet snacks can make the audience feel happy. The sweet aroma of food ingredients evokes a sense of smell that affects the other senses, thereby arousing appetite.

Imagine, a sweet snack fresh from the oven gives off a sweet and warm aroma in the air. Fragrant fresh snacks make you momentarily just want to spend time alone with the sweet.

Sweet snacks can also be used as self-rewards for yourself who have dared to conquer today's challenges. Don't forget to give a gift to yourself, to appreciate your hard work, it's okay even with a small gift like a sweet snack.

But what about people who avoid sugar? What if you have been anti sugar, but still want to be able to eat sweet snacks to reward yourself for sweetening the day? Take it easy, you don't need to worry.

For those of you who avoid sugar, you don't need to worry because now there is always a way to serve sugar-free food, but the taste is still sweet.

There are types of cakes and sweet ice cream that you can enjoy without worrying about the sugar content. Kara Island presents a solution for you to enjoy sweet snacks without fear of thinking about sugar content.

The Place

As the name implies, Kara Island wants to display a view of coconut island which provides a pleasant atmosphere.

This place is decorated in white, brown and blue. Coconut trees also decorate the place.

Kara Island does present a place that is not big, just a place to sell snacks at the mall, so Kara Island conceptualizes its place as a small shop.

Although small, but this place is quite convenient for you to just enjoy a cake, ice cream, or even a drink.

My Picks

Let me be honest for a moment. Actually, my trip to this place was because I wanted to eat a typical Thai Coconut Ice Cream that was posted @jaki01 while traveling in Bangkok.

Some Thai snacks are popular in Indonesia, but apparently I haven't found the Coconut Ice Cream version like that eaten by @jaki01

Because I really want Coconut Ice Cream, so then I do searching on the Internet, and some reviews on Google say that I have to visit Kara Island.

Yeeeep, I finally visited Kara Island. I chose to buy Coconut Pandan Chiffon Cake and All About Coconut.

Both of these menus are quite satisfying to my desire to taste snacks made from coconut which are sweet, fresh and healthy.

Coconut Pandan Chiffon Cake

Chiffon cake with a blend of soft pandanus in the mouth. The layer of cake is given a thick layer of coconut sprinkles.

Pandan and coconut are two things I really like. Besides being delicious, of course it reminded me of my beautiful childhood with my parents. Because, my parents and I always made snacks made from coconut and pandanus. In the past I also often made Coconut Cookies that were crispy and the aroma was very fragrant when freshly released fresh from the oven.

All About Coconut

This menu is my favorite! The combination of coconut ice cream put in coconut water is very refreshing. Not enough to get there, coconut jelly provides a pleasant sensation. Chewy coconut jelly texture in the mouth so that it gets rid of boredom.

Conclusion

Kara Island offers healthy and tasty sweet snacks, with menu highlights from coconut. Dishes from Kara Island are gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, natural fibers and no-coloring coloring added.

You don't need to be afraid to enjoy cakes with the shadow of creepy sugar and cholesterol. Sweet things from Coconut Island are concepts that Kara Island strives to maintain to make its customers' lives truly sweet without the sweet side effects of Kara Island's menu.
