    BRUN Feel The Chocolate [ Slipi, Minuman ]

    I just don't like it. Personally, I think this is pure meh.

    Peppermint Ice Chocolate. Sorry to say but it's easily one of the worst ice chocolate I've ever tasted. I tasted sweet, sweet, seeet, peppermint syrup and followed by another sweet flavor. Just slightly chocolate taste. They told me that they used no sugar for this choco drink. My question is, how sweet the chocolate and how massive the amount of peppermint syrup they used. It's ridiculous.

    The truth is, I've posted a poll on my intagram story about this and the result is 39% choose it's shit and the other 69% choose the bad luck. Some of them even told me that it used to be great (their signature one). Looks like they fucked it up that time, maybe I'll give another shot. Maybe.

    Taste Good [ Muara Karang, Singapura ]

    Like this place so much

    Salted Egg Pork Ribs with Rice. How can I say no to this. Creamy, savory and spicy salted egg sauce with tender and juicy pork ribs. It tasted good but not really memorable. The natural sweetness of the pork couldn't overcome the richness of the salted egg sauce. I'd prefer their salted egg prawn. It's more unique and obviously tastier. Like 2 levels higher. I really recommend you to try their salted egg prawn.

    Kedai Kopi Kulo [ Cengkareng, Minuman ]

    Kulo with cozy place to hang

    I just knew that there's kulo in Green Lake City. It's quite new. And surprisingly it has quite comfy place with air con. You read it right. Comfy cafe with air con. I always thought kulo as a take away coffee kind of stand. What an offer, super affordable coffee, taste good and comfy place. Oh, and one more surpise, they do have snacks here. Gonna review that soon. Btw, it's kulo. I believe you have tasted that at least once. So I'm just gonna give lil of my thought.

    Es Kopi Baileys. Espresso, milk, palm sugar and baileys. I ain't alcohol kind of guy. I don't drink that kind of thing but rum. However, I heard that their baileys is good, so I did try this one. The baileys was quite strong. Definitely much stronger than I expected. I did try at several place and all of them weren't this strong. So yeah, you should try.

    Cookies and Cream. Regal, milk, vanilla ice cream and oreo bits. For those who ain't drink coffee and need something sweet instead, this may be the answer. Milky, sweet and lots of oreo bits. Me? You know me. I don't like sweet thing in the first place. I just wanna try their non-coffee beverage.

    When it comes to kulo, 90% of you might think of their avocatto right? That's pretty normal, Kulo is well known for their avocatto. However, you won't find me reviewing anything with avocado since I'm alergic to it. I know it's weird but it is what it is.

    Spinfish Poke House [ Thamrin, Hawaii ]

    Nothing special and kinda confusing

    I gotta say this place is kinda unique like they don't have set. So you gotta build your own poke bowl. I don't know if they actually have one but when I asked them to recommend one, they told me to make my own bowl. Basically if it doesn't taste good, you can't blame them. It's your creation, you take part of it.

    I do believe one thing. We eat with our eyes first. And this bowl didn't appetite me much. Like too messy and boring compared with the other poke places.

    Moving on. First I gotta choose the sauce. When they told me they have that sesame shoyu sauce, I immediately chose that one. Yes it did taste like sesame shoyu but not strong enough. Whether they used too few or it just didn't taste much.

    Then the protein. Lot of choices but only some available (sold out or coming soon, not so sure). Tuna, salmon, shrimp and chicken if I ain't mistaken. Btw, why there's chicken there. Like who'll choose chicken on their poke. Am I too close minded? Well, I chose the salmon. The reason? I've never tried this place before. So I chose salmon. The safest among all. And it tasted good and fresh. Generous amount of thick cut salmon. Not that small stingy cut.

    Then the toppings. I didn't choose any since they didn't ask me. I did get cucumber and sweet onion. Shame, if they asked me I'd chose crispy onion for sure. This bowl lacked that strong fragrance. Like quite bland.

    I did ask for an add on. Seaweed salad. Here's a plus point for them. The seaweed was slightly sweet not too sweet like any other poke places. And quite refreshing.

    The last to choose was the base. I chose half and half. Half salad and half rice. The salad was okey. Nothing special. But the rice was pretty....sad. like they used boring plain rice. Not sushi rice, not vinegar rice, or whatsoever. If the ingredients had that strong flavor then it's acceptable. But pretty bland ingredients and bland rice? Not my type of meal.

    Overall, definitely far below my fav poke place. But still worth to try.

    Qnyang [ Alam Sutera, Indonesia ]

    Affordable and tasty

    Grilled flavored rice with multitude of ingredients (beef and anchovy) and spices wrapped in banana leaf. So light, very firm and quite fragrant. I could taste the smokiness from it. I'd recommend you to use the chili. It really amplified the flavor, gave it a much more deliciousness kick. Generous amount of beef, it's tender and sweet. Around 70gr. And the anchovy gave nice salty taste to it. If I ain't mistaken, they also sell nasi baQar without the beef and it only costs like 15K. What an offer.

    And I should mention one fact about this place. Every 5 dishes they sell, they'll give 1 meal to 'needy people'. It's all in a package. Not only cheap and tasty but also charity. Not only that, they do have special promo like buy 2 get 1 free and gofood available.

    Ah Mei Cafe [ Pluit, Kafe ]

    comfort food

    Yellow noodle with prawns, fish cake, beansprout and chicken char siew in spicy prawn gravy.

    Is that similar with singaporean original prawn mee? I don't know. Believe it or not, I've never tried prawn mee evertime I go to Singapore. Like what the hell is wrong with me. But I did enjoy this one. First let me talk about the essential thing, the broth. It's quite thick, not too thick but not watery either. Mild spicy level and gentle seafoody flavor. The mee was springy and bit chewy. Then the prawn was quite big and sweet, not that small shrimp kind of thing. The fish cake was substantial, they cut it quite thick and tasted not fishy at all to make it even better. The chicken, not a fan of it. I thought it's just for the meat texture. The broth killed it. The fresh beansprout and the water spinach adding so much crunchy texture. A solid bowl of prawn mee for me.

    Roti John Indo [ Tanjung Duren, Malaysia ]

    Tasty but sinful

    I gotta say it's an unique one. Just look how long it is, it's 40cm bread. It's so tempting. So I tried this one which located near KFC tanjung duren. You can easily find this one. So here's my thought.

    40cm bread, filled with scrambled egg, shredded cheese, beef meat (cooked with lot of selected spices and mushroom) and sauces. To tell you the truth, It's all about the sauces. It's way too saucey, but not in a bad way. Sometimes this is all you need. A stress relief. Screw with your diet, all that fancy meal that cost you more than 100K or the healthy dish that ruins your appetite. One look and you know how this will satisfy your guilty pleasure.

    I felt like sinful eating that one. Every single bite I took, I felt like this gonna sit on my stomach till the next year. But fvck healthy food. I believe in Andrew Zimmern's catchphrase. If it looks good, eat it. You only live once.

    The bread, it locked all the egg moisture and all the sauces. It's a bit soggy, not crunchy kind of bread. The cheese sauce gave a nice salty flavor, the mayo sauce gave a sweet kind of flavor and the scrambled egg brought the creamy element to it. The beef itself, I didn't really notice it. Don't get me wrong. I did feel like eating the beef, but the meat was kinda overwhelmed by the massive amount of sauces. Every bite I took, it just beggin to me to take another one.

    I'll give you a lil tip. Don't eat the bread right away. Take it home of let it sit for a while. The one that I ate at home tasted tastier than the one that I ate right away. Maybe the bread absorbed more sauces? Don't know, but I did feel like it's tastier.

    Daily Box [ Pluit, Kafe ]

    Cozy place but I personally don't recommend their menu

    It's pretty mediocre. I didn't find it attractive at all. It tasted like a very normal chocolate drink that you normally make at home. And they used a thin plain plastic cup, so no gimmick at all. The place is quite spacious so it's quite comfy to hang. Plus point for that one alone. But I should judge it based on their menu right. Taste wise and price wise, I'd not recommend it at all. Like it's quite pricey for that standard. I can make a lot better chocolate drink on my own. And if I spend a lil more penny, I can get myself a lot better signature chocolate from that "seattle" coffee shop.

    They do sell box meal but I didn't try it. It costs around 30K-50K. And it's quite a small box. The inside? Not as tempting and generous like their instagram timeline. I know, they recreate it to make the "wow" impact like any restaurant do. But it's way too different. Like the one I shot only had around 40% of the topping. Did the kitchen kinda messed it up?

    PokenbiR [ Kuningan, Barat ]

    it's Pork Heaven

    Pork belly, caramelized and butter miso grilled pork meat, pork satay and fries. I think it's big enough to share.

    The fries was okey. Like any fries should taste. No twist at all. The pork satay was quite good. If you like pork meat satay, then you'd love it. Like it's substantial in every bite. Me? I'm more into pork belly satay kind of guy. So for me the satay was good but not that special. But the grilled pork and pork belly were so good. The grilled pork meat was tender and flavorful. The butter one was kinda confusing. Was it supposed to be sweet or savory. Not so sure but I still enjoyed that. The other one, the caramelized, was kinda dope. It's sweet, fragrant and more solid. I'd prefer this one. Like it's not too tender and wet like the butter one. It had more texture to bite.

    However, the star of the platter was clearly the pork belly. Hands down! Look at the ratio. It had more fat part than meat. Heaven on earth. The meat was okey, like it's good but there's so much place can serve that kind of meat. Then the thin skin was super crunchy and salty. I wish you could hear the cracking in every bites I took. So tempting. Then my favorite part of them all. The fat! So thick. Melted in my mouth and no porky nasty smell or whatsoever. Not in the slightest. It tasted heavenly good when I ate all the 3 parts together. Substantial meat bite followed by melty umami fat and super crunchy pork skin finished the bite.

    Itacho Sushi [ Thamrin, Jepang ]

    Love the skewer, hate the sushi

    A solid skewer. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The burnt charred aroma was good. It had that charred smokiness to it.

    Then the spring onion, it gave crunchy texture and earthiness to it. I love spring onion in chicken skewer. I just do.

    Then I tried to use the yellowish pile of sauce which was the yuzu kosho. It introduced a nice surprising flavors. Zesty, salty and bit spicy. I gotta say you must use it if you happen to eat this. The zestyness and spiciness of the yuzu really enhanced the charred chicken and the earthiness of the spring onion balanced the flavor out.
