👧loves hotpot a lil but TOO much. Been here quite a lot especially their Pluit branch bcs they serve PORK 🐷 (sorry guys its non halal). But for those who can't have pork or lard , you can visit their other branches at Senopati / Hang Tuah.

Unfortunately during our visit , their famous pork bone soup wasnt ready (u gotta try their pork bone soup!) 😔😢 But still, had an amazing hot pot experience as always here 😍😘 Their mala soup is VERY STRONG AND TASTY 🌶🔥 If you're not so much into spicy mala taste , mixing it with the chicken / pork soup is a must.

Overall, its one of our go to hotpot place, but its not irreplaceable 😉😘 However , their soup is probably one of the best in town (esp the mala 🌶🌶🌶🌶)

Newest addition to PIK 2's culinary options. As a HUGE fan of fried rice , we just can't resist to try this viral and unique fried rice place 😘😁
Wanted to try the one in Alam Sutera , but we just knew they opened a store at PIK just recently 👏

WOW. JUST WOW. The scent of kecombrang (torch ginger) spread out inside your mouth. Was not overwhelming and just perfectly balanced. 🙋‍♂️is not the type who likes kecombrang , but he loved it this time! Very brave and smart in using spices 👌👍

Cakalang wasn't fishy at all and the smokey aroma was a very nice addition to the dish. Might be sliced a bit tiny tho 🤔 Rice was not the mushy and sticky type. It was more on the brittle , dry , and easily separated which is the right one for fried rice.

To make it simple , "NASINYA PERA GA PULEN".

Definitely very unique and had their own distinct character 😍👏

This is more on the simpler fried rice type. Smoked chicken was smokey and juicy. Sambal hijau and anchovies added a fine spicy and salty taste respectively.

For those who enjoy eating bitter bean a.k.a. PETAI , 🙋‍♂️ strongly recommends you to add em to your fried rice. It enhanced the flavorf of the dish enormously.

Smoky , juicy , and slightly crispy on the outside. Everything you could ask from a smoked chicken. Sambal matah was very fresh , spicy , generous , and GOOOOOD OMG. 🤯🤯

Overall, this is very different to your standard nasi goreng. The smoky aroma to their dish and a smart use of spices gives them a noticeable characteristic that others dont have.

In other words , this is a place to go everytime you don't have a clue on what to eat. 🤤🐥
Place is fairly big but most importantly it is very clean and comfy.

We had a pleasant and enjoyable dinner @kembangbawangindonesia .
GIVE IT A TRY AND LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT 😘😉

One of our favourite dimsum place in Jakarta. Located at one of the best hotel in town @fairmontjakarta , their sanitation and service is something not to be questioned. 😍

Tender , juicy , a bit of fat layer underneath the crispy skin on top of it. The salsa-like sauce added a fresh sensation to it.

Squid head wasn't rubbery , nicely battered and fried to perfection with a simple salt and pepper seasoning. 🦑😍

Overall, had a very satisfying dimsum as always. Might be a lil bit pricey but considering their quality of food , service , portion , and place , it is a good value for money.

Cute and quaint little Italian cuisine restaurant. First impression was that the place has a distinct cozy Italian alley vibe. The colorful exterior with their wooden chair and table brings you to some Italian villages ❤🇮🇹

DAMN ITS GOOD. ITS REALLY GOOD. Fell in love at the first spoon. Pasta was al dente with a mushroom cream sauce that wasn't overwhelming at all.

Steak? Tender and juicy and seasoned perfectly with some salt and peppahh. Not gonna make a fuss for a good medium well steak🥩

Haven't seen much review on this new menu. So here's our view on it 😉
Dough was a bit bready but still have the chewy texture to it. The thin and slightly crisped crust was on our liking.
Smoked salmon was fresh. Capers and dill cream complemented the dish very well adding a delicate salty , sour , and olivey taste.
Simple, classic , and honest ingredients creating a good pizza 🍕

Def a bargain to their other best selling pizza menu 🤩✌

Here's the TRICKY one.
Saw lots of +/- for this particular menu. Wouldn't say this can be everyone's fav. All comes down to preferences 😊😉

ITS A YES FROM US. 👍

Gorgonzola gives a nice rich and strong cheese flavor and aftertaste. That's where the sweet little honey and sliced green apple comes in handy to provide a nice fresh stir to it. Doesn't melt as much and still gooey on the center. 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀

Might be a bit too strong for some , but as we mentioned before , comes down to your own liking.

𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍,
Really enjoyed our dinner at Emilia. Service was superb. Got to give credit to one male waiter there that was very informative and friendly (forgot to ask for his name 😞).

Reservation is probably necessary especially during weekend considering the place that's not too big. Won't guarantee seats w/o booking in advance 👋👋

For me this is the champion greek donuts in comparison to the other 2 big brands! Very crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside! Something perfect for your ASMR videos bcs the crunch is unbelievable ❤❤❤
The sauce melted and complimented the donuts very well! Most importantly, it is bite sized!

📍 Ecaps , Kemang

Quick stop for coffee while we were around the area. Was very curious about this "zero waste" themed cafe when they first opened , but only got a chance to visit rn 😥

☕🍱📸
- Escap(e)
House Signature Shaken Cappucinno. Coffee isnt the strongest. Tasted a bit like iced cafe mocha (?)
- Batavia Fried Rice
Simple & tasty comfort food. Wasnt expecting much at first, but shockingly good 🤤

The place itself is surrounded by greens and objects are all made from waste/trash! Great concept and environmentally friendly. A new form of aesthetic they said.
Bravo! 😊
