Hanger Steak. US hanging tender steak, grilled vegetables, sweet potato fries, caramelized shallots and blue cheese butter. Ordered the medium one since I shared that dish. Personally, I do prefer medium rare. The steak was tender even though it ain't medium rare. Juicy and tasty. Taste-wise, it's good. But for value of money, I don't think so. I mean I've tried a better one and the price is slightly cheaper.
Despite of what I just said, I do still recommend this place. Good meal, great ambiance and friendly services. Everything you need in one spot.

Salmon Aburi Sushi. This place serves great quality sushi at reasonable price. Just look how fatty the salmon is. Fresh, fatty, thick and smoky. You need no shoyu to eat this but a little dip will make it even better. One of the best spot to eat sushi.

Soto Oseng Haji Mamat. Nice chunks of beef, chili, tomato and kikil (I don't even know what do you call it in english 🤣🤣). A bit greasy but tasted so damn good. Very beefy, a bit salty and insanely fragrant from the shallot. You can choose between a clear soup or the one with coconut milk. I do prefer the clear one. The light broth really match the rich chunks of beef. One word : LEGIT!

Crispy Salted Egg Corn. The ingredients are so simple. Salted egg, corn and crispy rice (you can call it rengginang if you like 🤣). It deserves a moment of silence. It's very pungent with the salted egg aroma but it's not overwhelming the smoky crispy rice. After biting it for a while, then you can taste slightly sweet flavor from the corn. That's insane! I know some of you gonna think 'yeah, salted egg is really happening so everybody gonna make a new dish using it.' Well, they already have this menu long-long-long time before the hype.
PS : I really hope they sponsor me because I love it so much but it's quite expensive to buy. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm a poor boy, 50K for rengginang is really pricey.

Five Spices Beef Tounge. Thin sliced beef tounge marinated with their secret sauce. A bit salty and sweet from the sauce. The tongue just disintegrates in your mouth. This is not exagerration,  I've never eaten tongue with this texture. I can say that this is tongue on the next level.

Le Choco Noir (left), Basil Gorgonzola (middle) and Earl Grey (right). Usually I don't eat this kind of cookies but this three are exceptional.
The Choco Noir is not too sweet yet still has slightly sweet side. For the record, I don't eat sweet things. So when I say slightly sweet, I really mean it. The Earl Grey is good. Strong Earl Grey after taste. When the other make green tea cookies, they make something different and more importantly it tastes damn good. The Basil Gorgonzola is the bomb! I don't know how to explain it. Maybe dope gonna be a proper word for this one.
If you plan to taste them all, my suggestion is to eat the Basil Gorgonzola last. It's the flavor you want to linger in your mouth as long as possible.

They're very good but they will also burn your pocket.

Affogato. One of the best place to chill in Bandung. They have 2 branches. One in Garuda street and the other one is in Dago area. If you wanna chill then I super recommend the one in Dago. The ambiance is exquisite. Huge with great decor. One more thing, they serve a lot of variety of snacks and even main dishes. But if you only want to take a quick sip or buy the beans, then the other branch is good enough.
Once you step your foot in the cafe, you can smell strong aroma from the coffee beans. Let's talk about the affogato. You get the sweetness from the vanilla ice cream that really compliments the sour-bitter of the espresso (I taste a bit sourness from that beans) One sip and I have reached the peak of complete satisfaction.
