I once again drew Cookie run character's over images with a specific energy, this time I actually know the energy, Chaotic

He offering that good stuff

Honeydew melon is completely oblivious to Wind's boyfriends.

This was a draw the squad image.

Dark Choco and Earl grey got married and invited only the entirety of the cookies of darkness to their wedding, they severely regret it when the chaos ensues.

Earl grey had no other clothes, so he's just wearing his regular clothes.

Dark enchantress doesn't know how to play the piano, but wants to embarrass Dark Choco as much as possible. Hibiscus admires her wife.

Pomegranate was the only priest around so Earl grey and Dark choco had to make due.

She's constantly trying to kick Licorice out of the wedding.

Red velvet cries at every wedding, he had to stop himself from crying during his own.

Dark Choco is the only sane person in the room, which isn't saying much considering he's carrying a cursed sword

Adventurer was late to the wedding and proceeded to literally crash the wedding

[optimusprime3000]

Blackberry: Adventurer has no survival skills. His need to win has replaced them.

Earl Grey: That can’t be true.

Blackberry: Watch this.

Blackberry: Hey Addie! Race you to the bottom of the stairs!

HE/HIM LESBIAN X SHE/THEY LESBIAN

ML x Batman: Arkham’s princess AU headcanons part 3

Part 2        Part 4

Welcome to the part 3 of my Arkham’s princess AU headcanons! :)

This part will focus Bridgette Cheng! Hope you will like it! ^^

Warning: English is not my first language so sorry if it’s confusing.

Warning 2: This AU content salt don’t like don’t read!

-Since in this AU Bridgette is Sabine’s sister she got grey eyes instead of blue.   

-So in this AU Bridgette Cheng is Marinette’s aunt, she is Arkham’s warden and changed the Asylum’s method which lead to actual good progress with the patients.

-When she become the Asylum’s new warden, she completly changed the staff: she replaced all the doctors, nurses and guards who were abusing of the patients or were complicit in the abuse and put special protocols in job interviews which cinsist to make the applicants pass a psychological exam to be sure they are psychologically capable to work at Arkham.

-She changed the therapies methods for more ethical ones.

-One of the things she consider the most important in therapy is doctor/patient trust so one of the steps of her treatement is to begening by etablish a trust bond with the patients so they will be more cooperative in the treatement.

-She put a “neutral” rule in which the doctors and others members of the staff must had a neutral behavior toward the patients since reactions and behaviors showing to the patients that they had a sort of power on others only feed their crazyness.

-With this “neutral rule” she put instructions like “not calling the patients by their villains name unless their insist”.

-She also made sure to make the patients’s life conditions better.

-All those changes bring the patients to developpe a kind of respect for Bridgette after months of suspicions toward her and trying to mess with her.

-The Rogues in this AU, except for some like Killer Croc, are the “batman the animated serie” version.

-She even gain more respect from them when one day she was forced to use her self defense skills against Lyle Bolton when he was attacking other inmates and had even trying to hurt her but Bridgette was able to owerpower him.

-She become know amount the inmates as the “White Queen of Arkham”. (see headcanons part 2)

-During her first times as the new Arkham’s warden, the public opinion was rather sceptic toward Bridgette’s abilities to manage the asylum, the media even potray her as a future “Harley Quinn 2.0″.

-She didn’t mind and focus on Arkham.

-Some times later her new methods bring good results, some inmates were healed and even some Rogues become saner.

-With those results the public opinion about Bridgette changed, seeing her now as a benediction for Gotham.

-Batman and her have mutual respect for each other: Bridgette is grateful for what the caped crusader do for the town and Batman respect her for actually helping the inmates from the asylum to heal.

-Regarding shipping: I have three possible love interest for Bridgette who are Rogues but you can decide to ship her with another character or not ship her at all. If the love interest is a rogue they will get together only if the rogue is mentally healed and give up any criminal activity, Bridgette will not even consider the possibility of a relationship when the rogue is still a criminal and her patient.

-When she visited Paris for the first time with Sabine she tried the soulmate ice cream from Andre Glacier, you can decide the combination you want if you ship Bridgette but for my three possible her ice cream combinasion goes by:

1)blueberry(his eyes)-vanilla bean(his hair)-earl grey tea(his favorite taste)

Or

2)Milk chocolate(his hair)-dark chocolate(his eyes)-pumpkin spice(his theme)

Or

3)Mint chocolate(his attire)-orange(his hair)-green apple(his eyes)

-If Bridgette got a love interest and they get together the love interest’s ice cream will be blackberry/blueberry(her hair)-licorice(her eyes)-coconut(her attire)

-Bridgette is rather protective toward Marinette so when Sabine and Tom will explain the situation she will accept right away to had Marinette living with her in Gotham while Marinette’s parents try to see what to do about the school.

-When Harley and Ivy warn her, when they were still in Arkham before they escape, that they will “kidnap” sometimes Marinette to give her tutoring lessons with the others Rogues/Godparents Bridgette was not sure about this, sure, they are Marinette’s godparents and would not harm her but they’re still mentally instable criminals and was more reassured when learning that Batman and his birds were welcomed to keep an eye on the lessons.

-When Marinette became closer with the Waynes and that it’s become know on the social medias, Lila being jalous told another lie to her classmates in fake tears how one of the Wayne boys was supposed to be her fiancé and that Marinette stole him from her, which made Alya enraged and posted an article on the Ladyblog in which she call Marinette a lot of horrible names and accuse her of many things.

-But the article got a big backclash since, surprise surprise, Alya has not proof for her claims and somebody send the article to the Waynes.

-When Marinette, the Wayne and Bridgette saw the article they were not happy at all and for a furious Bridgette it was the last straw, she contacted Marinette’s parents and they agree to sue the school, Lila and Alya, yeah the latters are both teens but being young doesn’t excuse you having a criminal behavior.

-They made sure that the Rogues don’t see the article because otherwise there’s going to had murders and as angry they are they want to avoid that.

-Bruce Wayne agree with the three other adults to pay for them a good lawyerand Bridgette, after leaving Marinette with Wayne, take the first plane for Paris to make official the procesussion with Sabine and Tom.

-The three adults go to the school to had a meeting with Damocles and Bustier, during the meeting the two teachers tried to spill BS excuses to not be, and to not have Lila and Alya, in trouble which make Bridgette very angry to the point of attracting an akuma.

-Hawkmoth tried to akumatised Bridgette but she told him in a cold angry voice that if she become a akume he will be the one she will track down.

-”Red Queen? I am Hawkmoth and I-” “Listen to me very well you Killer Moth wannabe I’m may be very angry at those idiots in the moment but you trying to use my niece stuggles to try to akumatise her multiple times make me even more pissed off at you so this is how it will goes: you will stop trying to akumatise me right now! or else the one who I will track down, chasing for their miraculous and who will be off with their head aren’t going to be Ladybug and Chat Noire but you!”.

-Not wanting to take any chance Hawkmoth undo the akumatisation leaving a rather tired Bridgette.

-Damocles tried to use Bridgette’s nearly akumatisation to end the meeting but she, Sabine and Tom were having none of it and since that meeting was getting them nowhere they deliver the procecussion papers to officialy sue them before leaving the school.

-After the meeting the three adults got to Lila’s and Alya’s houses to give to their shocked parents the paper anouncing that the girls were sued before going back to the bakery. And the next day Bridgette go back to Gotham to her niece.

Title: Time Flies By

Genre: slight angst

Warnings: no warnings! :)

Paring: Jotaro Kujo x Ashley Ashton-Kujo

Summary: After 10 years of being in a coma, Noriyaki Kakyoin finally wakes up from his coma. His parents are by his side, along with two of his good friends from the Crusaders— Kujo Jotaro and Ashley Ashton. Finally, after a long time, the three friends reunite. Jotaro and Ashley invite Kakyoin to go to a cafe with them to properly catch up. In doing so, Kakyoin realizes just how much time has flown by.

Extra Note(s): Basically, this is if Kakyoin had survived part 3 and was in a coma for ten years (so a little after the events of part 4.) bruh, I fricking miss Kak y’all 😤😤

<~~~>

THERE COULDN’T HAVE BEEN A BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE WHAT ASH WAS FEELING. Excited, relieved, happy— so many emotions flooded over the brunette woman. The same could be said for her husband Jotaro. When he heard the news that his friend Kakyoin had finally awoke from his ten year coma, him and his wife Ashley immediately rushed down to the hospital he was at to visit him.

When the married couple had gotten to the hospital and made their way to Kakyoin’s room, they saw the red haired male’s parents at his bedside. Kakyoin was sat up in his hospital bed as he talked to his mother. Ash recalled Kakyoin’s cherry red hair being much longer, and he had less muscle due to him being in a coma for so long. Kakyoin looked weak and exhausted— he was in such a state that Ashley swore she almost burst into hysterics.

It was extremely difficult for Ashley and Jotaro to see their friend in this situation. It pained both of their hearts to witness their dear friend in such a disheveled state, a state that absolutely no one should see their loved one in. Jotaro remembered the night he and his wife Ashley got back to their hotel in Morioh, where he and Ash had a moment together. The married couple embraced each other, with Ash hugging Jotaro by the waist, while Jotaro did the same to her. Ashley just laid her head against Jotaro’s sturdy chest as Jotaro stroked her chestnut brown hair gently, Ash letting the tears fall from her violet orbs.

Eventually, Kakyoin managed to heal up quickly, and soon enough he was discharged from the hospital. Though it was extremely difficult and challenging for the lovers to witness their good friend in such a heartbreaking state, Jotaro and Ashley were just immensely proud of the progress that Kakyoin has made. Currently, Ash and Jotaro were at a cafe with Kakyoin. The two of them had so much to catch Kakyoin up on, as there were many things that the cherry red haired male had unfortunately missed out on.

Now, Kakyoin looked to be at a healthy weight. He definitely seemed to be in a better mood than earlier when he first woke up from his ten year coma. Kakyoin’s once mangled red hair was now brushed and styled into a long braid. He wore his signature color, an earthy green that brought out his deep violet orbs, in the form of a long sleeve collar shirt. He wore beige jean pants to match his outfit, and, of course, Kakyoin wore his signature cherry dangly earrings.

Ash sipped her blackberry mint tea from her cup, a refreshing taste lingering in her mouth. She sighed, a smile gracing her features.

“What have you and Ashley been up to over the years, Jotaro?” Kakyoin asked before taking a drink of his chamomile tea.

Jotaro set his cup of earl grey tea down on the table. “Well,” Jotaro started, slightly sitting back in his seat, “Ash and I have been pretty busy with our work and schooling.”

Kakyoin raised a brow in interest. “Oh, really? What are you two studying?” The male asked with curiosity lacing his voice.

“I recently got a doctorate in marine biology.” Jotaro responded.

“I’ve been working towards my doctorate in psychology. I just have one more thesis to write, and I should be good.” Ash spoke before taking another sip of her tea, crossing her thin leg on top of the other.

“What route are you taking in psychology?” Kakyoin questioned.

“I want to be a traveling psychologist. That’s my ultimate goal.” The brunette woman replied. “Jotaro’s job also causes him to travel. It’s a downside to our jobs because it’s hard for the kids to be away from us for a long duration, or for them to keep moving around.”

Kakyoin’s violet hues widened with a grin. “Kids? I’m assuming you two finally tied the knot?”

Ashley and Jotaro smiled a small smile. “Yes, we did.” Ash let out a giggle, as mentioning her beloved family made her lighthearted and giddy. Ash and Jotaro interlocked their hands, showing their gold wedding rings on their ring fingers. “We married on July 27th in 1992, a few months after having our third daughter Jolyne.”

“About a year and a half before we got married, we had twins named Josephina and Jocelyn-Joanna in August of 1991.” Jotaro spoke up, adding onto what his wife was saying. “In March of 1993, shortly after our wedding, we had our fourth daughter named Joy.”

“Wow… congratulations on your family, you guys.” Kakyoin said, “That’s definitely exciting.”

“Thanks… we may be away a lot, but when we are with our daughters, we always spend all the time we can with them.” Ash commented, taking another sip of her blackberry mint tea.

Kakyoin held his cup in his hand, staring at it absentmindedly. “I remember back on the trip to Egypt,” Kakyoin started slowly, “it was so obvious that you two liked each other. I remember Polnareff teased you both about your crush on each other.”

Ashley giggled, while Jotaro smiled. Kakyoin smiled a little, as well. “Polnareff teased me more than he did Jotaro!” Ashley said, her smile growing into a huge grin on her face.

“If I remember correctly, babe, your face would always be as cherry red as Kakyoin’s hair after Polnareff teased you.” Jotaro said nonchalantly as he sipped his earl grey tea.

Ashley’s face immediately flushed cherry red. The 28 year old woman huffed as she crossed her arms across her chest. “I did not get that flustered!” Ash protested. Despite her protesting, Ashley knew that she couldn’t keep her grin from growing just ever so slightly. “You got flustered, too!”

“On some occasions. I was better at hiding it than you were.” Jotaro pointed out, “You would always get flustered whenever Polnareff even mentioned the thought of us dating.”

Ashley sighed, uncrossing her arms. “You still blushed…” Ash mumbled.

Kakyoin laughed at the couple, finding Ash’s protesting to the obvious truth pretty amusing. Kakyoin sighed. “Speaking of him, how is Polnareff?” The red haired male inquired about his good friend.

“Polnareff has been in France this entire time. We haven’t physically seen him since me and Ashley’s wedding.” Jotaro answered, “Before our wedding, we hadn’t seen him since we went our separate ways at the end of our trip to Egypt.”

“We have talked to him every once in a while over the phone, and from the sound of it, Polnareff seems to be doing pretty good nowadays.” Ash added to Jotaro’s statements. “It would be hard for us to physically meet up and see each other anyways because he lives in France and me, Jotaro, and the girls live in the USA now.”

“Really? The USA?” Kakyoin raised the question. “What part of the USA? Also, why the USA?”

“Our jobs took us to the USA, specifically Florida. Since our jobs were taking us and our kids to the United States, we decided to settle down in Florida because I have family members there. That way, we’re close to our jobs and our extended family.” Ash explained, taking the last drink of her blackberry mint tea. “Despite it being an extremely difficult and huge move from Japan, I’d say it worked out pretty well. Wouldn’t you agree, honey?”

“Yeah, it wasn’t too bad…” Jotaro responded, “Except for the part where Joy got sick and threw up in my lap.”

“Oh, right… that wasn’t very pleasant…” Ash trailed off for a very brief moment, “...but we know how she has a weak stomach. Poor girl…”

As Ash mentioned another thing to her husband, Kakyoin couldn’t help but get so lost in his thoughts. The fact that ten years had just gone by was astounding to him. Ten years Kakyoin has had his eyes closed. Ten years he has missed out on. Ten years he will never get back. One moment, Ashley and Jotaro were teenagers who had just begun their relationship, and then Kakyoin opens his eyes and suddenly it’s ten years in the future and Jotaro and Ashley are happily married with four daughters. The realization of just how much time he’s lost, his reality, is setting in for Kakyoin.

Jotaro noticed the somber expression in his good friend’s demeanor. Ash wasn’t oblivious to Kakyoin’s solemn change of mood. “Kakyoin?” Jotaro started, “Are you okay?”

Kakyoin snapped back into reality, no longer lost in his thoughts. He blinked a couple of times, blinking back the tears that didn’t have time to flow. “Time flies by… doesn’t it?” Kakyoin pondered for a moment, his once bright smile now saddened.

Ash looked to Jotaro with concern written in her expression, with Jotaro replicating his wife’s worry.

“Everyone else’s lives have moved forward, while I’m still stuck with the fact that ten years of my life is just… gone! Ten years!” Kakyoin gripped his tea cup. Jotaro gently reached over and had Kakyoin set down the shaking tea cup. “That’s ten years that I’ll never, ever get back! That’s ten years that is completely lost… forever…”

Ash and Jotaro saw Kakyoin’s tears gloss over his violet eyes. Still, Kakyoin didn’t let the tears fall.

“Kakyoin… I’ll say this…” Ashley started seriously, almost tearing up as well at her distressed friend. “...none of us, not a single one of us on that trip, came out unscathed. We came out with not only physical scars, but with unseeable scars that have a long-lasting impact on us. The trip to Egypt, the experiences with DIO— they’ll forever have an impact on us for the rest of our lives! Hell, it’s been ten years since then and I still have nightmares about that motherfucker!”

Ashley continued to monologue, never breaking eye contact with her friend. “There’s one thing that we’ve done throughout this duration of time. We’ve persevered. We’ve stayed close to each other, we’ve stayed strong throughout the aftermath. If we can do it, you can sure as hell do it, too, Kakyoin.” Ash offered a kind smile towards Kakyoin, which he gratefully returned.

Even if Ashley didn’t realize it, she had always had a way with words. Both Jotaro and Kakyoin knew that. Ash’s words were encouraging to Kakyoin, and at the impact of her words, Jotaro smiled. Ashley’s monologue meant so much to Kakyoin— it gave him hope.

“We’re here to support you, get you back up on your feet. Jotaro and I want to help.” Ashley said softly.

Kakyoin smiled gratefully, an expression of appreciation shining in his violet orbs. “Thank you, guys. Really, I wouldn’t know what to do without you two.”

Jotaro nodded. “Of course, Kakyoin.”

Ash nodded as well, humming in response.

Kakyoin knew that even if ten years had gone by while he was in a coma, even if he had missed out on so many occasions over the decade… one thing he knew was he’d always have the support from his friends.

Jasmine: Do you dress up for school or wear whatever is comfortable?/ Blackberry: Handwritten or typed notes?/ Sleepytime: How late do you usually stay up studying?/ Citrus: Do you prefer to sit at the front or back of the room during lectures?/ Earl Grey: Where do you prefer to study?💛💛💛💛🌻

Sleepytime: How late do you usually stay up studying?I hate to be that person, but I never studied. I did the reading once and I went to lectures, and that was always all the effort that was needed to get an A.

Citrus: Do you prefer to sit at the front or back of the room during lectures?I’ve sat at the front of classrooms me whole life, for I am blind as a two-bit bat!

new ship goofin' (minus earlberry, which already holds a place in my heart)

[arcisfoodblog]

No need to travel over 12,000km to enjoy the fantastic food and cocktails of Indonesia’s best restaurant, Locavore, as they took over the Rijks* kitchen last week!

About Trading Places Joris Bijdendijk of Rijks Restaurant* has already chalked up quite a few impressive collaborations over the past couple of years. Chefs from some of the most high regarded restaurants around the world were responsible for curating half of the menu of the 2-3 day events. Ray Adriansyah and Eelke Plasmeijer from Bali’s Locavore – which is a mainstay in the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants since 2016 and currently at #42 – also enjoyed their 2017 stint at Rijks so much that they together decided to take things a step further with this “Trading Places” concept and swap restaurants for about a week.

The chefs travel to their temporary environment without ingredients, set recipes, and with only a few helping hands. They will soak up the local culture and produce for a couple of days before eventually preparing and serving a signature menu for 4 or 5 days at their “new” restaurant with locally available ingredients and supported by the resident staff.

We have visited Locavore on holiday in Bali back in 2015 as well as the 2017 Locavore x Rijks* collab and love their food and creativity. Consequently, a lunch booking was made within minutes of the announcement and it surely did not disappoint!

For foodies, Trading Spaces provides a unique possibility to experience restaurants that you normally would not be able to visit and fully immerse yourself rather than just sampling a couple dishes by the visiting chef. With an entire week, there are also more opportunities to visit these already limited events. I can imagine that it has benefits for the chefs as well. It is obviously not as extreme as temporarily relocating entire restaurants to the other side of the world (like Noma and The Fat Duck did), but with this concept, chefs are pushed to really try something new rather than churning out the same signature dishes for a couple of days before traveling to the next city. Not wishing Joris Bijdendijk being abroad all the time, but I sincerely hope that Trading Places really takes off ;-).

About the lunch: As we were about 15 minutes early (Amsterdam public transport was efficient for once), they asked to sit at the bar until our table was ready. Already 15 minutes into service and with plenty of people already eating, I would surely hope that they would not need to set any tables. Just a couple of minutes later – we barely got in our order for cocktails at the bar – they ushered us to our table, explained the concept and asked if we wanted to order a cocktail whilst browsing the menu options…

Still somewhat confused why we hadn’t been seated right away, but under the enjoyment of our delicious Fennel Sling and the Boulevardier cocktails (EUR 15 each), we browsed the nicely designed menu cards. The 6-course lunch was EUR 85, but for dinner, you had the option for 2 additional courses (bone marrow and cheese) and extra friandises  which would be EUR 120 in total. At the 2017 event, I recall that there were only limited possibilities for cocktail pairings, but now Locavore went all out and brought along one of their bartenders to sling cocktails: 5 signature cocktails were available as an aperitif and 4 different ones were the pairings for the menu. Consequently, the beverage pairing for 6 courses consisted of 4 cocktails and 2 white wines and was EUR 56. For the 8-course dinner menu, 2 beers from Amsterdam brewery Brouwerij ‘t IJ would be added to the fold, thus totaling EUR 68.

We kicked off our lunch with 3 amuse dishes:

Flower Power (Assorted fresh and fried Spring Flowers, Wild Rose Kalamansi Vinegar Emulsion, Flower Salt, sprayed with Rose Kombucha).

Missing the North Sea… (North Sea Shrimp, blanched in Sea Water, served on Seaweed and Ice, Oyster Emulsion and Lime Leaf Oil); Delightful and pure saline flavors and textures. Chantal had some super crispy radishes instead of the shrimps and a slightly sweeter codium seaweed emulsion instead my oyster one.

Hot Tomato, Cold Tomato (Tomato Sambal Sorbet, Warm Tomato Consommé, Sliced Sherry Tomato, and Celery Salt).  The hot and cold sensation between the consommé and the tomato sorbet is amplified by the same feeling that the sambal brings to the sorbet itself. Amazing start of lunch!

Roti Introduced as “roti with sunflower oil, peanuts, and herb butter” which was way off from the “Fermented New Potato Flatbread, served with Huttentut oil, Hempseed Dukkah and Stinging Nettle Butter” printed on the menu on the table. This Huttentut oil (‘Gold-of-pleasure’ or ‘Camelina’ oil in English) was new to us but tasted quite nutty and reminded us of flax seed. The roti and condiments were supposed to last the next couple of dishes, but they were so good that they didn’t even make it through the next one.

The first dish from the menu was White Asparagus (Charred and Pickled, Roasted Garlic Miso Vinaigrette, Young Garlic Chips, Goose Egg Yolk Emulsion, and Wild Watercress Leaves). The pairing was a fresh 2018 Müller-Thurgau white from Apostelhoeve, Maastricht, The Netherlands.

The second course was Goat Tartare (Goat Leg, wrapped and barbecued in Ramson Leaves, served almost raw, Pickled Wild Garlic, Andaliman Pepper Crème Fraîche, and grated Goat Heart). Chantal had barbecued watermelon instead of goat. For some reason she wasn’t all that interested in the microplane grating of the barbecued and then dried goat’s heart which gave my dish a smokey, umami hit. This spicy yet creamy dish’s pairing was a delicious yet equally “out there” cocktail with Mescal, Fresh Goat Whey, Tarragon, and Agave syrup, finished with a grating of goats’ cheese.

The third course was Otak Otak (Leek stuffed with Minced Mackerel, Barbecued on Charcoal, Burnt Leek Powder, Cured Duck Egg Yolk, Chive Vinaigrette, and Chervil Leaves). Chantal had more leeks instead of the mackerel. A second Dutch white wine paired this dish: a more full-bodied 2017 Johanniter by Aan de Breede Beek Wijngaard, Nijkerk, The Netherlands.

Up next was the highlight of our lunch: Black is the New Orange; a fantastic take on “different preparations of carrot”. (Carrot Steak, roasted in smoked (Beef/Vegetable) Fat, Spiced Carrot Puree, Carrot and Passion Fruit Reduction). The bold and complementing cocktail was made with Chili-infused Vodka (hot hot hot!), smoked Carrot Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, and a super-Fragrant Cumin mist.

The final savory course was Goose à la Royale (Wild Goose Ballotine, Very Intense Sauce, Fresh Morels, Glazed Spring Turnip, Wild Green Asparagus). Chantal had a barbecued celeriac “steak” instead of the goose and a miso sauce. Together with the obvious North Sea amuse, this was the only dish that didn’t have a distinctly Asian flavor.  The refreshing cocktail did, though: Naked Grouse Whisky, Purple Basil Blossom Syrup, White Wine, Nutmeg and a sprinkle of dried Pandan leaves. It paired remarkably well with the thick sauce à la royale (which is typically made with livers and blood of the animal in question, but I can imagine that “very intense sauce” looked a tad better on the menu…)

The first sweet dish was Bubur Sumsum (Frozen Rice Porridge, Rhubarb Granité, Ginger torch poached Rhubarb, Crispy Rice). Spot on: fruity and refreshing as a pre-dessert should be.

The menu’s finale was Kue Beri Hitam (Blackberry Tart, Cacao Oil Crust, Coconut Blackberry Sorbet, Egg White Coconut Crème) served with a cocktail of Pandan infused Sweet Vermouth, Roasted Coconut, Gin and Angostura Orange Bitters. Again fresh and not sweet at all and the cocktail was top-notch.

Service itself was a bit of mixed bag. All very friendly, but individually ranging from very good and attentive to uninformed, off-timed and disconnected to the rest of the teams. Unfortunately, this was similar to our previous visits to Rijks and in our experience unfitting for a Michelin-starred restaurant.

No sweet treats to go with our tea (which was Green tea instead of the Earl Grey we both ordered). As the “koektrommel” (cookie jar) would have been served during dinner, it felt like a missed opportunity. However, as a perfect nod to the longstanding tradition of intercontinental flying in KLM’s business class, we did receive a Delfts Blauw miniature statue of a Balinese temple as a souvenir. Instead of jenever, it contained a hibiscus-infused vinegar.

A great closing of a wonderful lunch!
