Iced Apple Honey Tea. It has been quite sometime since I made iced apple tea. So I made one; infused with Fuji and Orin apples and sweetened with honey dripped from the honeycomb.

Sweet Cherries in Cup. I styled these beautiful and sweet cherries tall high in a cup; then photographed them with selected focus method.

Coffee Jelly. A popular jelly flavour often served as part of Japanese meal. Commonly made with instant coffee; this time I tried with Indonesian ground coffee for a stronger taste of coffee. It is then drizzled with milk.

Ikura on the Rock.
This vibrant Japanese roe is a true beauty. I style it with a sea urchin shell, lava rock, star fish and black stones. I use shallow depth of field then the result makes it look like an underwater showcase.

These are Java beans. Before I ground them, I decided to take a shot of them. I put them in a deep woven basket then poured them onto a super wide tray. The camera is placed down low for a low angle view.

Blue butterfly pea flower is very interesting. Its brilliant blue colour turns purple when mixed with lemon juice.
I made an iced tea drink with this healthy flower tea. I mixed the tea with lemon juice and sugar syrup first; then I poured it onto a glass filled with ice cubes. The fresh butterfly pea vines and blossoms are scattered around the glass.

Black Tobiko on smoky stones. Here I played with black and golden colours. The styling was made with simplicity as to accentuate the luxurious feel from the colour and texture.

As Lunar New Year is approaching, Mandarin citrus is in abundance as it symbolize fortune. The fruit was sprayed with fresh water and shot closed-up; highlighting its natural beauty.

This is a cake that I had for New Year celebration. It's called Quadruple Chocolate Cake; it is made from 65% Dark Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Brownie, Bali Cacao Nib, Butterscotch Chantilly and Gold Dust. I got this cake from Pasola at Ritz Carlton, Jakarta; took it for a a photo shoot before enjoying it.

This Christmas, I made a rustic, wintry scene of a village center showing buildings made of cinnamon sticks. The base used is still gingerbread cookie slabs with all walls covered with cinnamon sticks. One house's roof is also covered with cinnamon sticks while the others with black peppercorns and chocolate coins. The Christmas tree and wreaths are gingerbread cookies covered with royal icing and sprinkles; the powdery snow is none other than desiccated coconut.
