Does your area have an exotic fruit that you always remember? To be able to remember the fruit, it must have a strong character! What if I said about a fragrant fruit. Maybe you have a clear clue?
I remember jackfruit! From the outside of the fruit there is a golden skin, like thorns but not sharp skin like durian. The inside of the jackfruit is also golden yellow, sometimes orange depending on the type of jackfruit itself.
Here, I share photos of jackfruit that I took from several websites as a reference because I don't have any photos of jackfruit.

In each jackfruit flesh, there are jackfruit seeds that can also be eaten by boiling them first.
Well, why did I finally remember this jackfruit? Even though I was walking around the shopping center. Then, I stood at an outlet of my favorite coffee shop.
There was something new there. In the coffee shop's display case. An eye-catching cake display case. A beautiful golden cake that was different from most other pastries that were brownish.
I approached, curious about the cake. I like trying things I've never tried before!
In the end, I was told by the waiter at the coffee shop. The beautiful golden cake was a jackfruit cake. That's good. I haven't smelled the fragrance of jackfruit for a long time!
I decided to buy a cup of coffee with that fragrant cake! There was a promo so I was very excited!
I bought a cup of hot mocha with a slice of jackfruit cake. My drink was served in a cup with a beautiful motif, a coffee plant motif.
Meanwhile, the jackfruit cake was reheated first. I could smell the delicious aroma of jackfruit cake from where I was standing waiting! Really, I couldn't wait. My eyes kept staring at the jackfruit cake as if it was my love that should not be separated 😊❤️
Fore Coffee, for everyone. Nice slogan. They have a simple seating area. People usually just sit there for a while. I even noticed that customers prefer takeaway.
They created a white nuance in the design of the customer seating area. With a sweet background. A little touch of artificial decorative flowers to make the eyes of customers who see it calmer.
I brought my finished order to the seating area table. Look, a cup of hot mocha, with nice golden jackfruit cake!
I immediately stared at the jackfruit cake excitedly. Meanwhile, while waiting for the hot mocha to cool down a little so that I could drink it without blowing on it.
Golden jackfruit cake sprinkled with crunchy nuts. Then, there are the pieces of baked jackfruit!
I am not disappointed to have given my expectation to this beautiful jackfruit cake. I swear, I am not exaggerating. I speak as it is as my experience. But this is indeed my personal opinion and I like jackfruit. So maybe there will be different opinions for those who don't like jackfruit.
A delicious jackfruit cake to accompany a cup of delicious hot mocha. Hot mocha, with a blend of espresso and chocolate. I like the hot mocha in this place. With the right sweetness. Different when I buy hot mocha in other coffee shops which taste strange.
Well, thank you for those of you who are willing to read my story of finding this jackfruit cake that I tried for the first time. A pleasant taste experience!
