These are some of the joys that happen in my Christmas 2015. Enjoy my happiness!
WOLD TALLEST CHOUX PASTRY CHRISTMAS TREE
Christmas is always special in my heart. How much I love the moment of Christmas, the Christmas songs, the Christmas gifts, the Christmas tree and the visit to the church.
In Indonesia, no one has the real Christmas tree. The Christmas tree is always from plastic or any artificial ones. But hey, my friend tells me that there is a Christmas tree that is made from pastries.
What? Pastries? Wow, it must be a yummy Christmas Tree. LOL!
My high school friend, Desiree Merlina, tells me that the Park Lane Hotel where she works has the tallest Christmas Tree from pastries in its lobby. As she knows that I celebrate Christmas, she invites me to come and enjoy the Christmas tree.
On my way to the Park Lane Hotel, my mind is blurred as I don't know what kind of Christmas Tree the hotel make. But my mind becomes clear when I arrive at the lobby of the hotel and discover the Christmas Tree with my own eyes.

| Tallest Christmas Tree from Choux Pastries |
Wow! It is a very tall Christmas Tree from pastries. Choux Pastries! But how do they make it?
Turns out that the Christmas Tree is made by making a 9 meter high iron frame in Christmas Tree shape first before they place around 18,000 Choux Pastries around it. Cool!

| With Desiree Merlina from the Park Lane Hotel and the World Tallest Christmas Tree Award |
Knowing that they have worked on this Christmas Tree for 15 days, it is not a surprise that the hard works are paid with the award from Indonesian Record Museum (Musium Rekor Indonesia - MURI). The Christmas Tree is awarded as the World Tallest Choux Pastry Christmas Tree! Congratulation, the Park Lane Hotel!
 |
| Croquembouche |
During the lunch celebration for the awarding moment for this tallest Christmas Tree, they serve many food and wine. But my heart falls in love with the Croquembouche on the table. They taste very delicious for me. They come in various flavors, such as Green Tea and Coffee. As a person who doesn't like too much sweet things, the Croquembouche tastes just right for my throat. Not too sweet, just nice and chewable. This is my most favorite pastry in the Park Lane Hotel.
CHRISTMAS LUNCH
The Christmas celebration still continues to the next week when I receive another invitation for Christmas Lunch at Riva Grill Bar and Terrace at the Park Lane Hotel. This is a very awesome Christmas Lunch!
Let's join my happiness by enjoying the food pictures I take from the lunch :-))
 |
| Zuppa Soup |
The Zuppa Soup is a perfect one to open the throat channel, so the next food can be delivered in a yummy way :-)
 |
| Stone Heart Wood Oven BBQ Spring Chicken |
Oh this Spring Chicken is delicious! It is rich in spices. Name your flavors! Spicy, hot, sweet, salty and savory! This dish is perfect for Indonesian people who like many spices on their plates. Its size is enough for one to be happy.
 |
| Green Salad |
This Green Salad is my perfect choice. Yes, before hitting all those fat and calories, this salad really calms my hunger, so that I don't eat too much :-D
 |
| Grilled Australian Lamb Chop |
The Australian Lamb is something good for those who like heavy weight dish. The sauce is a perfect match with the crispy lamb.
 |
| Slow Roast Pork Belly |
Pork! Pork! Pork! What can I say? The pork belly has its special taste that you know it is a pork belly although your eyes are closed when you eat this. Fatty and thick! You can expect the richness of its texture and taste. This dish is not for everyone. Only the legal ones who can eat this. LOL!
 |
| Tenderloin Steak Rossini |
The steak is perfect for a romantic dinner. There is a deep taste of intimacy when I eat it. The richness of its sauce cover all aspects of the steak.
 |
| Seared Norwegian Salmon Medallion |
The Norwegian Salmon Medallion is the winner! It is not a surprise as I always like anything in fish. The crispiness of the fish matches with the creamy sauce on the side. You might want to double the portion of the sauce as it is very die die yum yum!
Well, Christmas day is over, but its joy and happiness stay forever in my heart. I always love Christmas as much as I love Jesus and the happiness that come with them.
It is always not too late to say this....
Merry Christmas, everyone!
May peace be with you all the time!
May God bless you and me!
