A dinner is as good as its ending. Having a bad dessert after an excellent meal can certainly sour the whole dining experience. Fortunately, countless fine dining restaurants in Jakarta offer an array of confections prepared to leave you blissfully satisfied. But how do you choose one that ensures your culinary journey ends on a high note? Here, we prevent five desserts that are never-fail guaranteed, you can’t go wrong if you order them at a restaurant.

Best Restaurant Dessert Choices

1. English Trifle

Starting off with a timeless classic that is the English Trifle, this harmonious blend of layers is a dessert of nostalgic elegance on a plate. Layers of delicate sponge cake soaked in a sweet sherry, a velvety custard and fresh raspberries that offer a hint of tartness. With a generous dollop of vanilla-infused whipped cream, each spoonful of this dish makes an indulgent closing for your dinner.

2. Cream Cheese Lemon Cake

Those who crave for a tangy twist in their sweet finale, this second dessert on our list might just be the perfect choice. Cream Cheese Lemon Cake marries the rich density of cream cheese with the refreshing zest of lemons, making each bite a balanced blend of flavors, light and decadent. Some restaurants like Lawry’s go even further and put candied lemon on top as the pièce de résistance, adding a crunch and an extra burst of citrus.

3. Carrot Cakes

Who says dessert can’t be both decadent and healthy? Carrot Cakes are the best choice for you to indulge without feeling any guilt. This moist, spiced cake is enriched with the natural sweetness of carrots and a hint of cinnamons. Some even drizzled with additional goodness of marmalade sauce over the top, adding a citrus zing that cuts through the sweetness.

4. 3-Valrhona Choux with Chocolate Mousse

Fact is, sometimes it is better to purchase chocolate desserts at restaurants than making one at home. Many restaurants buy high quality chocolate in bulks ensuring both affordability and quality, something that might not be as easy for homecooks. So, why not take advantage of the situation and buy the dessert with the most superior chocolate? If you’re at Lawry’s and you stumble on our 3-Valrhona Choux with Chocolate Mousse, better seize the moment and dive into these airy choux pastries filled with opulent Valrhona chocolate mousse that will melt in your mouth.

5. Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream

No dessert list is complete without a nod to the timeless all-American classic: Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. This is the dessert that offers the comfort of home even when you’re dining out. Warm, spiced apple fillings encased in flaky, buttery golden crust that pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. At Lawry’s this dessert is a favorite amongst many, often served as the quintessential ending to our prime rib roasts. It is a familiar and utterly satisfying way to conclude a meal, proving that sometimes the best way to finish strong is with a classic.
