    Thai Street [ Gandaria, Thailand ]

    tiny but filled with huge kick from the sauce

    I'd say it's more like tiny tiny crab claws instead of crab claws. Quite meaty and soft. The sauce, it's all about the sauce. Herby, spicy, a lil bit sweet and salty. Without it, it's gonna be a bland and boring kind of dish. I did read some reviews before and I do agree with them. Taste wise, it's good. But the service was not that good.

    Kopi Kebut [ Cideng, Kafe ]

    below mediocre coffee with sucks service

    Blood Velvet. Never intended to try this one but the traffic forced me to do it. Came for a cup of coffee and light bite snacks, but unfortunately the light bites was already sold out. Bought their speciality nitro coffee which is the blood velvet and ice cinnamon latte. The cinnamon was quite good. Strong cinnamon flavor but lacked of caffeine. Their nitro blood velvet was disappointing. I tasted nothing but berry syrup, milk and sugar. Lots of sugar. The barista took my coffee from the 'machine' that look exactly the same as the one that starbucks use to make their nitro cold brew, so yeah it's cool. They call it nitro but I don't think they really use nitro to make the coffee. Do they? Or they ran out of nitro when I ordered it. Correct me if I'm wrong. I once tasted starbucks nitro cold brew, and the nitro gave a creamy and deep taste to it. But I tasted nothing from this coffee. So yeah, it's a huge anticlimatic.

    Oh, to make it worse, the service was sucks. I ain't expecting you to be over friendly or what so ever. But talking to your friend when a customer order the drink? Really? That makes you a third class coffee shop. Bad taste of coffee, it's just a matter of preferences and I can tolerate that. But that poor service, I won't revisit or recommend it.

    Chez Bubu [ Palmerah, Kafe ]

    quite a place in binus area

    Looks good right? The texture was a bit off and lil lacked of carbonara sauce. But...... the taste was good. I definitely tasted the creaminess from the pasta itself. Maybe the pasta absorbed the sauce? Told the chef about the texture and the chef gave me a very fine reason. Hopefully it won't happen again and I believe it's gonna taste even better. Let's move to the chicken. Quite tender and tasty. Not too thin but not too thick either. I did try their Nasi Goreng and it tasted super good. Fried rice, half egg and non-battered fried chicken. To try it, you only need to pay less than 20K. How cool is that, tasty yet super affordable. If you study at Binus and never try this place, I can say that something is clearly wrong with you.

    To sum it up, a cool and affordable place to dine or hang out. They do have sisha to make it even cooler. But, if you're not that smokey kind of person like me (yes, I don't drink alcohol or smoke), you don't need to worry about it. They do split between smoking and non-smoking area.

    Bo & Bun Asian Eatery [ Pantai Indah Kapuk, Vietnam ]

    what a solid bowl of pho

    Rice noodles with sliced tenderloin, sliced beef shank and beef meatball.They seperate the beansprout. I kinda like the idea, we can adjust the amount of beansprout we need. Not only that, it gives great presentation I must say. The rice noodle was good, thin and soft. The beef broth was very clear very clean. The tenderloin and shank were tender and well seasoned. Not over powering the natural goodness of the beef itself. Sadly, the meatball wasn't that good. I mean, it's just like mediocre meatball. The coriander, onion and thai basil did give a nice kick of flavor. Quite a solid pho.

    What a good way to end your meal

    Have you try it yet? I suggest you to try it if you haven't. Nice crunchy texture on the outside and it had unique starchy texture inside. They did give sugar powder to enhance the natural sweetness of the pumpkin. What a good way to end your meal.

    Soup Restaurant [ Thamrin, China ]

    such a great restaurant, everything is tasty

    Teochew preserved black olives mixes with plain rice. The rice was so tasty that it could be eaten on its own and you can see how fluffy that rice was. The rice beautifully seasoned and had such interesting aromatic flavor. Dope, so dope I must say.

    One of the best chinese restaurant. Everything is ridiculously good. You don't even need recommendation, just randomly pick the menu and you'll get a deeply satisfying bite.

    Kamu Tea [ Gandaria, Kafe ]

    the texture just didn't work on me

    Another cheese tea to choose from. It's quite hype and had long queue in all branches. The taste of the tea itself was good. Strong matcha and had a slightly bitter after taste.
    The problem for me was the cheese cream. Too thick and too heavy, at least for my taste. At the first sip, I barely drank the tea. I can only sip the cheese.

    It's not a bad thing. I think it's more like preferences. Some of my friend love kamu tea and some agree with my thought. So yeah, I do encourage you to try it. Maybe it's your type. If you don't like cheese tea, I do recommend their dark choco. I tried it and quite love it. Not too sweet yet not too bitter either.

    Kuup Boardgame Cafe [ Green Ville, Kafe ]

    it's a board game cafe, so don't expect great dishes from it

    Rice, sunny side up and deep fried shrimp. Small bowl but generous portion of shrimp. They used quite thick batter to deep fried the shrimp to make extra crunchy texture. Unfortunately, the batter was extremely salty. The thick batter they used overpowering the sweetness of the shrimp. To be blunt, I didn't taste any sweetness at all. I did try their chicken popcorn and I tasted the exact salty taste. My point is the batter ruined the goodness of the menu.

    Well, they do have nice concept of cafe. To gather and play. They also prepare plenty of board games. So I do still recommend this place if you wanna hang out with your friend.

    Lewis & Carroll Tea [ Thamrin, Kafe ]

    lackluster appearance but so damn tasty

    Linguine with beef bacon in truffle carbonara sauce. When I saw the pasta, the first thought in my mind was it's just another boring pasta dish. I didn't even smell truffle from that dish. And the plating was mediocre, pile of creamy pasta, lots of beef bacon on top and garlic bread, that's it.

    Took a bite and it blew my mind. The texture of the pasta was aldente, beef bacon was rich and savory and the sauce was top notch. Creamy and truffley. I didn't smell the truffle oil when it arrived, not even a hint. But the taste of the truffle was strong, how come. It may look thick and too creamy, believe me, it's not as creamy as it looks. Mediocre plating but the creaminess of the sauce coating the pasta was irresistible.

    Marco by Chef Marco Lim [ SCBD, Indonesia ]

    Fancy padang but this dessert is chep, like cheaper than most cafe

    Krim Bru-Lim Kopi Padang. I think krim bru lim is a spin off of creme brulee. This series has 3 flavor, coconut, durian and coffee. I don't like coconut so let me skip that one. Padang and durian seems too much for me. Coffee? I don't have problem with this one. It's about combining the western and eastern tradition. Kopi padang meets french custard. OMG! This was gorgeous. The top part was burnt at perfection. It had nice crunchy texture and burnt flavor. The custard was dope. Once again, the texture amazed me. Thick but smooth, how come. The taste was also nice. Not too sweet, creamy, custardy and strong coffee flavor. At the bottom, I tasted stronger coffee flavor and literally could see the coffee powder. Super nice one and it's surprisingly cheap. Definitely come back for this one.
